VERSION 1.04 HIGHLIGHTS
-----------------------
* Massive flight model upgrade (RotorLib 4.0)

---------
ENGINE
------
RTD 4.0 integrated
Java scripting support added (http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Java_Scripting)
Collective control would sometimes be fully lost until restarting the game
MP: collective would sometimes be set to hardware position without active input
Renegade units (too negative rating) are now considered enemy in targeting systems
Logic Objects are now ignored in top-down radar
RenderTarget TI color mode is no longer connected to optics TI color mode
Saving while getting out of a helicopter could cause a bad state after loading
Fixed: Pictures of mods outside game directory
