Last Month the Japanese try to retrive this mod a little bit more. They played in the at 2pm CET. At the moment the gametracker,com Server Monitorring is off. Hope soon they turn it on. The ranking seems to work.

Both the 747 and an Apache (not the one from DC) were published in the forum on www.bf1982.com and later shown as IS04 WIP pictures. They are still linked on some of the sites I told about. I never heard about the DC stuff in Interstate, I gotta download all these GBs of teaser videos Interstate published.
2003-06-02 First time Interstate gets mentioned as a new mod. Description (direct quote):
BF1982 Interstate mod is based on the interstate universe from 1976 to 1982. It will have two characters the boring guy and the people who don't like the boring guy. They will be given a car, weapon, and will fight on the desert so they won't distrub the popluation of texas.
On the screenshots we see a camaro and a corvette. Highway only closely resembles what we know today, there is still the old BF42 interface instead of the blue one we all love so much.
2003-06-03 (they're fast, huh?) We see pics of the alpine, the mangusta and the kingpin player skin.
2003-06-09 The airport!
2003-07-21 We see pics of a demolition derby map. I've never seen this map in a release, but lots of the stuff we see there can be found in the virtually unplayed survivor arena.
OK, then comes a lot of stuff we already know.
2004-07-01 We hear about Movie World and (here comes the interesting thing) another Mini Mod combining vanilla BF, DC and Interstate.
2004-07-22 Mapping contest announced. AFAIK, it's still running :-) The other sites reported this as well, I only included it here because I finally made up my mind about posting it or not.
2004-09-19 The A-Team mod made an update! I always thought all it did was being announced and opening an empty forum on www.totalillusions.net/forums, but it seems that it had an update!
2005-02-26 The uncontinued racing part of Interstate 82 Expanded, extended, experience - no idea what the x stands for - is released, making this the last release of any new interstate content except for single maps. If you want to download it, I still got it on my homepage, http://www.ferroequinologist.de/mirror/is82x_-_the_uncontinued_racing_part.exe
BTW, the modification date there says I uploaded it 2004-03-01
2004-03-02 Brownfield and Crater got released. Since they were planned for IS82X, I guess this means that between this post and the previous one the IS82X project has died. Too bad.
The rest they report about are official updates from IS 04, custom Interstate Maps and custom maps for other mods with Interstate content. <span class='smallblacktext'>[ Edited 07 Jun : 21:29 ]</span>
