The Grass can now be set to Off in the game graphics settings. Together with MSAA anti-aliasing option it gives a temporary workaround for AMD video cards until we find a proper solution;
Technochat can be disabled locally even if it enabled on a multiplayer server;
Folding gunsights on several aircraft won’t leave the insight lens in place;
Various small visual features like rocks added to the ground surfaces on Prokhorovka map (they are visible up close);
There is now a hole in La-5FN instrument panel if radio compass isn’t installed;
IL-2 mod. 1943 canopy glass correctly moves when the canopy is opened;
The excessive audibility of 7-8 mm hits on other planes has been corrected;
Large ships should be able to enter and exit inland ports like Rotterdam;

- Huhu : New multiplayer server option “Restrict Injectors” allows the server hosters to restrict access for users with graphics injectors like Reshade or 3dmigoto
Five new mappable (RCtrl+NumPad_Del,1,2,3,0 by default) zoom commands have been added that allow quick zooming to various degrees (minimal, maximal and 3 intermediate levels). Zoom value set by a mouse or joystick axis or keyboard keys is not affected by the new quick zoom and after releasing a quick zoom button the FOV will return to the one set by an axis. These new commands work in either 2D or VR mode. The old ‹ VR zoom › command has been deprecated (its equivalent is the new maximum quick zoom, RCtl+NumPad_0)
Incorrect Ju 87 D-3 textures that could fail to load properly during a mission and cause the application hangup after exiting the game have been fixed;
Ships won’t disappear at very large distances when using zoom;
Fw 190 cockpits won’t appear black at a distance when their engines are damaged;
Opened Pz.IV-G hatch won’t disappear when viewed from inside the tank;
Selected modifications should be correctly applied to AI-controlled tanks in the Quick Mission mode;
Installer now intelligently reads the read only flag on .cfg file, edits and re-applies read only again if it was set. This fixes an issue some were having with the installer being unable to edit the IL2 .cfg file
Added Push to Talk Release Delay defaults to 0 - max 500ms. Fixes issues with dodgy buttons
Improved IL2 Sync Handler - work around bug with spectator coalition being randomly sent by IL2. For now it’ll take 25 seconds before comms will switch to spectator after switching from a coloured side. Switching between coloured sides - i.e red to blue is still instantaneous
Coalition changes - you now keep coalition through death. Coalition will only change when you’ve picked a different side and joined an aircraft
Fix for gunners intercom on bombers losing comms after 30 seconds - required the coalition changes
(1.0.1.2) Added a new command line tool - IL2-SRS-External-Audio.exe. This allows server owners to easily pipe in MP3s or Text (using Text To Speech) to specific channels. Channel 1 is 251MHz and all subsequent channels are +1 MHz from that - see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FR6MwtloZzI - DCS example but the same for IL2 (just a different name for the exe)
