Long overdue bugfix release for 1.11. Includes Bodhammer's gfx card fix and some other bug fixes for 1.11. Plus a few small new features from ataribaby.

Changes:

• Fix for zbuffers in dx9. Fixes problem with newer ATI and NVidia cards. Also fixes white flashes for some (fix by Bodhammer)
• Added cockpit vibration when g-force_head_movement enabled (ataribaby)
• Added option for muting external sounds in map view (ataribaby)
• Added co-pilot speech for when he has identified a target(ataribaby)
• Improvement to altitude hold and enable it for all helicopters (ataribaby)
• Changed colour of smoke grenades from purple to white
• Improvement to AI helicopter movement. Will not slow down before each waypoint, and will fly slower over airbase.
• Changed so that 3dreset=1 in eech.ini or on the command line will force EECH to recheck which resolutions the graphics card supports. Use this if EECH doesn't offer resolutions you want to use and know your graphics card and monitor supports.
• Added command line option to force screen resolution even if the graphics doesn't list it to EECH as one of the resolutions it supports. See the FAQ for how to use this.
• Fix for gear automaticly extending/retracting for player helicopter in insertion missions (ataribaby)
• Fixed bug in Apache where selected target didn't show up on radar

1.11.1 can be downloaded from here or here.

Thank You Arneh ... going to try reloading EECH again. I've been missing my sim for nearly a year.

Much appreciated Arn,,,happy your continuing to improve this fun sim..

Just want point another new sound feature that is not in list. external_sounds_volume in cfg now can control volume of outside world sounds. Can be totaly muted or someething between. I found value external_sounds_volume=0.4 works best and somethging i think pilot hear with helmet plugs. Own rorot and engine, gun etc but not outside world helis or distant explosions.

Just downloaded the new update in hope for solving my old problem of the cockpit views causing more or less slowdowns but alas...same thing as ever. The Hind causes major slowdowns the Comanche and Apache a bit less so, but still noticeable. As soon as I hit CTRL+F1 everything runs smoothly but it does not make much fun without the cockpit. Is there really no way to get around this?

Otherwise great work again!

What are your systems specs?
