Bug fixes in Mega Patch: Update 2.1 Posted by Ace Antilles
XWAU 2020 Mega Patch Update 2.1 is now available.
We had to release this one so close to the last as there were a few big bugs that slipped in that needed fixing.
The X-wing "radar" screens were not showing the correct directions. This has now been fixed on all the XW versions.
I also added a last minute mission fix to B2M5 that was making the mission fail often.Added a wait order to Liberty at the end of the mission. It was going to Hyperspace and crashing into Fighters attempting to land.
Tweaked the voice messages to try and make them appear as they should.
Sorry to anyone that's already installed Update 2 but this fix couldn't wait. Just install 2.1, you don't need to remove 2.0 first unless you want to.
Thanks to everyone that reported the bugs. You can still read the full Update 2 details in the original post below.

Moff Gideon, we have located the Mandalorian on the planet below. Your ship has been prepared for you.
The XWAU ended 2020 with a seismic charge, but that doesn't mean we have been doing nothing since.
We've been compiling things since January for our first Update of 2021 and hope to release it very soon.
What started as a small update has exploded! It will feature updated Fighters, new features, new skins, profiles, bug fixes and more!
One of the things we will be using are new Animation features. These will allow us to give more "life" to the fighter cockpits and other craft.
This also includes an amazing new area we can now utilise: Cockpit damage effects and events!
Please visit the forum topic here to read more.
We're also creating several new Tutorial guides for new features so that they are more accessible to all custom creators.
Vince T is currently updating the old FAQ to bring it into 2021. He needs your help though.
Have you ever wanted to know something about the XWAU but couldn't find an answer?
Then see his topic and post your question so we can make sure it's covered in the new FAQ update.
Please visit the forum topic here to read more.
You will find a few more previews or WIP pictures in the Forum and look for Mega Patch: Update 2 sometime soon!
