Before anyone asks what happened to the readme, it's on it's way ;) we're just putting the final touches to it and then that will be released as-well.
Originally the video was going to be released the day before the Patch, but then we realised that only a few people would watch it before they got access to the Patch anyway, so it would be less effective.
With that in mind the link will follow for the video in a few more lines of writing from now ;)
So today has seen a flurry of activity. Lots of final tweaks, recompiling of the Release Version (for another round of final testing) and all is looking good. No game-breaking bugs, all is looking promising. Currently we are looking at solutions to get the software linked and available (don't worry leave that to us) so we can get this out without the internet catching fire and Flight Simmers jumping from buildings!
To give you an idea of how things can fall apart and then quickly be fixed, a bug that came to light was with new aircraft. One of the new variants could be setup in the FMB so it spawned at 300k/mh and then it's way point was the same. on launching the mission, the 'said' aircraft had it's speed reverted to '0' kph an d it dropped like a stone until the Ai managed to recover it about 10m off the deck! that would have been fun for the mission builders! Well that and a few other irritating bugs have been well and truly squashed and it's looking set for friday as release day...yay...we can have a sleep!!! (well TF can for about an hour before we start getting questions about 'everything' we suppose ;)
With that in mind, here's a short video, detailing just a few of the new additions. Cheers, MP/TF

I should add, please share this link with as many groups that you can, let's get that word spread around...it's almost ready!
