Game Tool Technologies supports OpenPlane Technology is the story today, and it is the kind of late-April 1999 news blast that makes the pre-E3 season feel like someone kicked the hornet nest. Game Tool Technologies today revealed its support of Parsoft Interactive’s OpenPlane technology in developing utilities for Activision’s new combat flight simulation Fighter Squadron: The Screamin’ Demons Over Europe. GTT is a leading developer of flight simulation utilities and add-ons. OpenPlane is an architecture that allows interested gamers, developers and third parties to modify and extend games that are based on the OpenPlane standard. GTT will be creating a series of applications that will allow any gamer to create and modify aspects of Fighter Squadron, including object textures, aircraft and vehicles, and flight models.

Bottom line: if this is your kind of game, start watching the download pages and store shelves. April has been stupidly busy, and this one just joined the pile.
