Hi guys. I know some of you have had real trouble with C++ runtime errors with the L-39 in multiplayer. I've been hunting that evil little bug down for 10 days and finally have success. It's coming from the flares of all silly things. Seems they aren't unloading from memory after being fired off, and this is blowing up FSX's visualfx.dll in multiplayer.
Anyway I have a hotfix for that, plus the reinstatement of VC hotkeys which were somehow disabled by the original cameras in the L-39. There are a couple of other small fixes included as well.
Everyone who has the L-39, please go to this post and follow the instructions very carefully, keeping in mind that the aircraft.cfg files must be replaced by the patch and you will need to back up your repaint entries and then add them to the new configs manually again. Sorry about this part, but there's no way around it.

I'd like to put an end to this crashing as quickly as possible, but everyone with the plane needs to do this update for it to be truly destroyed, even if you don't fly in multiplayer. This will unfortunately disable the signal flares for the time being, a necessary tradeoff. I will do my best to get them working again properly in a much larger and more comprehensive update that will follow in a few weeks time. In the short term this will keep everyone flying and stop the unwanted trips back to the desktop. :) Now for some sleep... haha.
Thanks,
-Mike
