Freefall
From I/O Vortex Wiki
Welcome to the Freefall features request page. Got a feature that you think is a must have for the next release of Freefall? Put it here! Write as little or as much as you want. Although, the more you write the more others can understand what the feature would do or why it's needed. Like a feature already listed? Second it with your own comments. The more interested people are in a feature, the greater likelihood it'll show up in the next release! While not every feature is guaranteed to make it into an I/O Vortex software release, we're open to all suggestions from our past, current, and future users.
