This patch brings a lot of new stuff, which means there may also be a lot of new bugs! Please do let me know of any issues you have as I will almost certainly need to hotfix at least something!I'm particularly keen to hear of any performance issues in VR as a few things have changed in the background code.This patch brings you re-entry and splashdown, new time control features, pausing, checklists.... and much, much more!NOTE - Only Friendship 7 is effected, Freedom is still on hold until I convert it to use all the new features I'm developing for Friendship.
