LeLv26 Hurricane I's on patrol over the Gulf of Finland in the winter 1943.
It was a lot more work updating FAW than I originally thought.
Whenever I was close to be finished a new EAW.exe was released and more work was needed, but since the new exe's all had important improvements it was worth the extra work.
A Big thanks goes to the guys in the EAW Code group that made the 1.28d FAW update possible, especially to:
Knegel, MrJelly and Crashin' Jack.
And the update had never been possible without the handy editors and the FAW Manager by MrJelly!
I made the FAW update myself, but some other peoples work was included, please check the readme file for details.
Thanks to all that have contributed!
FAW is now available for download on the FAW page on my site.
