Download procedure

EECHCentral is down, that makes difficult to provide direct links in the post.
Old patches and new 1.15 can be found on SimHQ http://SimHQ.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/3185855

I'm sorry if I missed a modification or contributor.
Please write about this here, the next bug fix release will contain that.



While I'm happy that after more than a year a new release has been born, I'm very sad about some features (and people spent a lot of their time on them) I could not include in the release.
Soczkien still left Ka-50 cockpit incomplete, but with HUD it's possible to use it. Another his great contribution is Eurocopter Tiger model... But it's only model, without sounds, weapons (PARS), cockpit.
BANITA worked a lot with explosions (and 1.14 were not good enough he said), but that work is not complete too.
Olds made a lot with effects... And where are the results?
I'm sure I'm missing many other names.

Probably many of them just were tired waiting for their work to be released.

I'm grateful for everyone contributed, and admire of those who could bring their contributions to completion. It's really hard.
