The Latest Official Release Versions

MP MP4-v4.593 <=== changed 25 October 2009 Statistics v1.127 <=== changed 25 October 2009

SEDB SEDB32D <=== changed 25 October 2009


A new SEOW release has just been issued, with a range of new features including a set of new map sectors prepared lovingly by PA_Dore, taking us to 56 supported sectors! This SEOW release also supports some exciting new Mods available in the HSFX4.0 release. Prime among these are direct, seamless support for strategic radar and for partial ship damage. Note that the partial ship damage Mod does not yet capture all events by all players, but it is certainly a great step forward over the stock IL-2 game.
