Patch 5.040 Has Arrived

Greetings, pilots,

We'll keep it short today, new patch is out and it includes two small, yet important fixes. Thank you very much for reporting the issues!



==== CHANGE LOG ====

*** Fix: Noachian flood on the Autumn Channel Map mopped up

*** Fix: AI finally learned how to use wheel brakes on landing

Patch 5.039 Is Here!

Greetings pilots,

We have a fresh patch for you, including mostly fixes of some annoying bugs you've found! Please, take a short break from the unending flying journey and familiarize yourselves with the Change Log.

Don't get spooked by the update's size (13GB), the reason for that is that we discovered a corruption in the packed game data. In consquence we had to repack all of it and you now have to download all of it. On the birght side this also means that the next updates will be much smaller in size than what we got used to in the past year

Until next time!
