Default Server Updates

Ok fellas - Some new cool features:

We are running our 1st server plugin. Many have probably noticed the welcome screen when they join the server, but more importantly you now have the ability to track what damage to the component level that has been done to your plane / enemy's plane / objects etc., from in game.

How this works: Once spawned in a plane, hit escape and you'll be taken to a special stats screen (should be self explanatory from there). But just remember, this only works and keeps track for the plane you are flying. If you leave your plane or are killed in action you will not get this function. So try to do a nice full sortie, make it back alive, and hit escape to get your after action report.

Here's an example of some stuff you will see as a 109 pilot:

***** Your plane is missing these parts: *****
Feature #2 - You no longer will be despawned after you land. This means you can land, shut off the engine, go get a beer/take a leak, and come back to restart your plane and take off again. Your plane will only despawn after you, as a player, has left it.

Kinda hard to have Refuel and Rearm when your plane despawns on the ground. Here's a teaser video of the R&R and the effect of having our old despawn : http://vimeo.com/48832383

A big thank you to Colander for all his amazing work.

Hopefully R&R is right around the corner.

Enjoy!
