Release 1.6.6100.4

User Notes

This release contains an interface and associated artefacts for the CH-47F Chinook from Eagle Dynamics. Since the CH-47F is still in Early Access, it is anticipated that future changes by ED will require further updates to Helios. There are changes to the Falcon BMS F-16 MFDs and Hydraulic Pressure gauges as well as support for Version 21.
There have been changes to several Helios controls to enable easier implementation of advanced binding in profiles. There is also a number of bug fixes
