addedThis update adds the following...
addedHelicopters are now streamed in when selecting them on the Mission Planning screen. Depending on the speed of the drive HG:DEX is installed on this can happen very quickly or may take a few seconds. You'll see a message telling you the helicopter is loading in and you'll be prevented from selecting another helicopter until the chosen helicopter has loaded. While it is loading you are free to do other things as the loading system now no longer blocks the main thread. If loading takes a long time it is possible for you to go to the arming screen and still see the old helicopter. It will be switch once the new helicopter is loaded automatically.
addedAdded in a "Rotor Droop" effect which is most visible on the load out screen. When the mission starts and the blades begin to spin up the amount of droop is reduced as the blades begin to fly.
fixedFixed a bad terrain edging tile which was showing up in white.
fixedFixed the IR size of the Kraz 5233VE truck which was slightly bigger than it should have been.
addedAdded a compressor to all audio channels except music which should prevent any audio clipping occurring at high volume levels.
