Helios 1.6.606 HotFix 1

Release 1.6.6061.1

User Notes

This contains a HotFix for a problem which resulted in many of the DCS SoftInterfaces incorrectly over-writing their driver files.

Another release with a mixture of bug fixes and minor improvements. One significant change is to DCS drivers for interfaces which declare multiple variants (examples are the DCS F-14B, DCS P-47D, & DCS P-51D but there are others).

Note

Changes made in this release will result DCS users needing to perform "Setup DCS" in one of their DCS interfaces to remove the preflight
warning that HeliosExport16.lua has been changed. Users of interfaces which have been declared with multiple vehicles will also need to perform "Setup DCS" in that interface in Profile Editor to update the drivers of affected interfaces.
