New Maps and updates:- Shanghai (v2.18) by buzz_beurling
- Puerto Rico (V2) by CzechTexan
- WW1 Italian Front Redux package by Filippo1995 * latest available update
- Philippines 1945 by Cycle * beta version introduction

I added a few "generic flair" maps, made off existing ones but without any local names, listed under "Other Regions":
- Generic East Coast (Bessarabia based)
- Generic West Coast (northern Italy DF, but without the big island)
- Hispanic Drylands (made from Jir's Spain Central. Retextured by me for spicy Tex_Mex effect. They were shooting all the Spaghetti western in Spain after all.)
Objects over all modules:I fixed a very old typo in the splash message of the Artillery(g) object.
The
C&C Spotter (ground/sea) now can spot ships up to 20km away! Trains up to 10km.
I always found the distances too short, especially for ships. Now the Spotter can earn his keep.
Flag objects are now sorted in meaningful segments by continents and themes. I also added a few new ones which seemed interesting to me. How could we not have
any Canadian flag so far? Now we have three:
Plus Ranwers pilot statics and special guests, Blackhawk and Zinda Blake, aka Lady Blackhawk - they were the expert test pilots for the updated XF5F!

A few general FM tweaks here and there to get some speeds into historical dimensions.
SPAD VII and XIII now have different FMs. The top speed of the VII is now reduced to a more realistic range in comparison to the XIII. Previously both planes shared one FM, which was not very realistic for the VII.
Curtiss Jenny now has a noticeable weight difference when loaded with passenger or cargo.
Nieuport family shadow fixes
SteamBoat fix
TGA Module:
I got around to (finally) integrate the complete
shippack 2 in TGA! Now we have all the civilian and damaged ship variety of that pack available for the interwar years.
Also now avaiable in TGA are the sea mines.
Just one new plane: Jir's Martynside F.4 Buzzard - may he have always clear skies.
Jir: 3d Franken

_____________________________
Many small fixes that I made on the spot have gone into this package. Many are my own, some are from other modders, some are a combination of both. It is just impossible to keep track of all of it over time and I am not making this an exercise in bookkeeping.
A
Big Thanks to all the modders and fixers out there, whose work is the basis for even more fixes and twists!
