Special greetings to Jonathan Danylko from dcs-media who suggested us to release a Hacker Guide for FireCAT. Well, it is a wonderful idea and guess what ! We are working on it. Anyway, If you got videos, articles about the extensions highlighted in FireCAT, let us know.

Thanks to Claus Valca for writing an article about FireCAT.
