"Bombable" is not part of Flightgear. If MP Players choose to have that added into their system, that's up to them. However, so far as I'm aware it only transmits info about hits, and not submodel data, and it will not affect any player who hasn't added it to their system. If it does, I will take steps to stop it, as it represents a potential source of abuse. AFAIKS it's not part of the standard F14 available for download from FG. That said, I'm sure that "bombable" adds enjoyment of Flightgear for those that use it.
