Is the latest patch (1.09) going to be implemented as an automatic game update?

[lonewulf]

I notice that there's a new patch and also that I can't fly on ATAG without it.

Now, if this is the final patch, (as I understand it is supposed to be) can I assume it will be introduced as an automatic update at some point soon? I ask because as far as I know this updating hasn't happened yet and secondly because I find this patching business very trying - which is why I haven't attempted it yet.

If it isn't going to be automatic update, a) does anyone know why and b) does anyone know exactly how to install the bleeding patch thing?

If you're able to help, I'll need detailed instructions because frankly, I'm a bit dim. I have my clod stuff stored in my x86 directory thing.........
