As for aircraft speeds, the folks to speak to are the guys working on the Ops mod. Aircraft speeds will undoubtedly impact the Airpower mod, which is part of Ops.

Regarding the overall timeline for RUb, it's very unlikely indeed that RUb 1.43 will be released this weekend. I'm confident that it will be ready for the weekend of the 6th/7th of August.

SH3 Commander 1.43 will most likely be out before RUb 1.43 - possibly by this weekend or by the middle of next week.

Both of these promise to be big releases with significant changes. Among other things, IC will be included in RUb, whether with Ops or not (but I'm confident it will include Ops), and there are significant changes in SH3 Commander - more flexibility, more features, more mods included in it, and I'm confident that it will work even more intuitively to automatically set up the player's campaigns in SH3. But we'll have to see how these things all pan out.

One thing is for sure - I'm winding down my involvement in modding SH3. I plan to get this next release working perfectly, and then I will be hoping to pretty much stop all my large scale work on modding this game. I'll still be around, perhaps working on lesser (or more esoteric) mods, but I'm hoping that I can solve any outstanding issues with RUb 1.43 and issue a 1.5 mod that will be my final major contribution. That's my plan anyway.
