Well chimps are far stronger than humans so they have an advantage in using the FSSB stick that requires 27lb of force to get full aft deflection  

I flew with women, petite women who could manage that.  One of the best sticks I ever flew with was a gal in the TA-4J Skyhawk.  She could outfly anyone 1v1 in that bird.  It was amazing to experience.  CDR Kimbell.  Platinum blonde.  Hot, in person and in a jet.  Oh, the memories...  Making me all nostalgic, Gunfreak.

@BIGNEWYwhat have you done to me! I used to be a normal person, I mean, I was never Brad Pitt cool, but i could hold my own in a room. You have got me almost giddy with delight with the new shockwave animations. I have just spent the last hour dropping different sized bombs in the jungles on Saipan, saying 'that's so cool!' With each impact. I haven't been this excited since heatblur updated their suspension animation..... I used to be cool! Damn you DCS!!!

In all seriousness..... its SO COOL!!!! You don't know what you have missed till you get it and this latest update has me grinning from ear to ear. Thanks to you and the team.

Landing gear physics on the P-51 are too sensitive I think. For a sturdy plane capable of landing in a grassy field, it seems too easy to damage the gear.

   Yes... after extensive testing of Hornet's radar and D/L, I agree.

Given no one's officially replied, my guess is that maybe all it is, is that the main release last week, and the first hotfix before this one shared the same network protocol version - which allowed cross-version play on multiplayer servers which may have caused issues, so they've incremented the version number on this one.  (Complete guess, but I doubt in a hotfix it's significant improvements, nor will you need firewall rules changed).
