addedIf an aircraft has the afterburners enabled, their weapons will display their fire arc outlines but the green fill will be removed, which should make it more visually obvious what state an aircraft is in.
fixedFixed a crash related to tooltips for certain modded assets.
fixedFixed another bug in the modding lifecyle.
addedIf the game crashes for a user who has a mod installed or has unzipped templates (from the .zip introduced in the last update) then the game will display a popup after the crash warning the player that the crash might be caused by modding, as we're getting a lot of crashes reported that are caused by mods!
