Dear all,

 

We deeply apologize about the problems you are encountering with the new update; it certainly should not have been released in its current state. We did however learn a few valuable lessons that will benefit future releases and our staff is hard a work on a solution.

 

On a very positive note, we would like to congratulate Leatherneck Simulations on the release of MiG-21bis. We are proud to have them as a partner and we look forward working with them on many more projects!

 

Sincerely,

Matt and the Eagle Dynamics Team
