I can't see any difference in FMs as I am not expert to spot them. Also I can't get wingman commands to work still, but that is probably me - how to tell if they are working or not? Someone has a good test case?

Anyway, call this an alpha patch? Shame on you! Is beta at least...

;(

Oh, my machine Acer i7 laptop gtx 560m 2G vram, 4g system ram

FYI for those of you unaware.... "Beta" is closer to the finished product than "Alpha".

Alpha - still missing features, can cause crashes, etc etc.

Beta - product is "feature complete" but work remains to be done

That's why alpha should go to a selected group of knowledgeable people, as Freycinet said. Some humor now. I was reading a Dilbert strip (no offense intended to anyone, it's just a joke):

Dilbert, presenting his project to his bald boss:

"we interviewed hundreds of users and turned out all of their suggestions into features"
"as it turns out, every user we talked to was an idiot, and their dumb suggestions ruined our product"
"in hindsight, we probably should have talked to people who work outside this building..."

I just found that funny ...

Cheers!

just remember guys, it was released to us in hopes of helping Illya and Clod Company, in getting this Sim in a good state of release. The more machines this is running on with reports will help get the bugs out.
