It seems like they are cracking down with complaints! Tail hook bug fixed, ack reworked!


======================

Added a return salute (.rs) dot command.  Typing .rs will return a salute back to whover saluted you last.

Your plane will no longer try to move when you open your throttle and your tailhook is engaged with the wire.  You need to raise your tailhook before you can move.  This will prevent planes from getting slung off of the deck.

Made the following changes to the 88mm auto flak. 

The maximum range remains at 35000 feet but there is now a maximum horizontal range of about 26000 feet. 

Flak now targets bombers in preference to fighters.  A fighter must be at least half the distance of the bomber before the flak will target the fighter over the bomber.

Flak will stop firing at at enemy planes that have a friendly plane within 1000 yards of it.  It will either switch to a different target or stop firing if no other targets are available.

Fixed a couple more button texture issues on the clipboard.

Added min sortie time requirements to certain achievements like number of sorties and expended ordnance achievements. 

Added a display to the achievement menu to show progress to the next star level.

Added a game id display to the achievement menu to show who's achievements you are looking at.

I wonder if the sortie time requirement could be extended to all sorties, with a minimum time of 5 seconds before the sortie is recorded in score
