So Barnstorming is useless on PC, eh? What if we tie some unlocks to it that aren't in the regular game!
You can download the latest version v1.2 here:
finalack.com/Idol/SR2_barnstorming_unloc...5 new unlockables were created and added as the last table entries in unlockables.xtbl.
unlock_water gives unlimited fire extinguisher ammo
unlock_flamethrower gives unlimited flamethrower ammo

barnstorming.xtbl was edited to call these new unlockables at 5, 10, 20, 30, 34, and all aerial stunts complete. Any number of additional unlocks can be added to barnstorming this same way at different thresholds of number of stunts completed, and you can use them to also call any of the current unlocks in unlockables.xtbl.

NOTE: unlock_water was called twice at 5 and 34 just in case someone has already done a few of the barnstorms so they don't miss out.
Next up is to just figure out how to do the same with tagging. Once that last piece is figured out, I'll be integrating it into my New Game Remix mod that is intended to be used for a brand new game and changes all the unlocking around as well as some other neat things like new locations for cd collectibles (and better rewards for them too,) delayed release of the more powerful new weapons, small sections of the city left in gang control post game so you can still fight the brotherhood, samedi, and ronin after you beat the game, and also new pricing on everything from the We Have It mod. It is a
massive endeavor already, and I can't wait to get it finished and share it here. :D
