- New database option to support loading only records needed for scenario (disabled by default, edit xml/options.xml to enable)
- Added ? and * wildcard character support for launcher item names. E.g. AIM-9* would allow any AIM-9 variant. Not sure how useful this will be, but it is helpful for test.
- Flight ops gui updated to handle larger numbers of aircraft (21-80) on CV or airbase. Previously the window used to overflow with lots of useless boxes.
- Added paging feature to stores gui to allow more than 16 items to be used.
- Added night penalty to visual detection

- Added Guido's Nimitz CVN model
- New submodel support for 3d xml file. You can now load multiple mesh files using a line like
Code:
<Submodel File="688.ive" X="0" Y="0" Z="20.0" Roll="30" Pitch="0" Yaw="90"/>
which would place a rotated 688 model on top of the main model

- New ray tracing sonar propagation model for realistic layer, shadowing, convergence zones, and all that good stuff. It doesn't have an interface to set SVP and reflection losses in scenario file yet. Can be switched on/off dynamically in options screen.
- Better ambient noise calculation for sonar. Scenario command to set sea state still needs to be added.
- CAP station displayed on map and can be dragged to reposition or deleted to cancel mission
- Start of strike/attack mission added to auto missions.
