• Tuned aircraft gun smoke.

• Fixed Set Path to Column formation.

• Fixed Georgian soldier animation.

• Fixed long range radar break-lock for Russian aircraft.

• AIM-120 and R-77 maximum load factor increased to 40g.

• R-77 data adjust. Thrust, lift and drag.

• AIM-120 data adjusted. Lift and drag.

• AIM-9M maximum load factor increased to 35g.

• AIM-9M thrust changed 12000 N.

• Adjusted AIM-9P drag.

• AIM-7M thrust and drug adjustments were made.

• Increased load factor to R-27 family to 24g.

• Fixed infantry not moving when route is changed.

• Fixed client crash in MP.

• Fixed pilot models with K36 ejection seat.

Fixing bugs always more important than adding features.
