Did you mix up a full install with a differential patch or something?  Just asking because the file is >140MB and your differential patches aren't usually that big.

A lot of art/object updates.  Always makes the patch larger.

The battleship is fantastic. F3 mode as you move through the interior, it becomes the hanger deck on the CV. There are some side structures when viewed from F3 are in wire frame. Are the main guns supposed to only be 8inch? I thought Iowa class were 16inch.

Sighting rings for 88 and ship main guns are now bright white. The 17lb still does not have a sight. Though I can use F3 mode to place myself where I can aim through the telescope gunsight. It is not calibrated yet for any range. You have to aim against a 2000yd target about 3 inches high from the bottom of the tube covering the target with the tube's mounting bracket.

Will you be leaving F3 mode intact with the 88 and 17lb or is that just for testing?

The star field and moon are jaw dropping. Especially if you spawn N on the runway and use 3 0 10000.

i decided to sink a CV offline and found that if you kill radar and then kill CV the fire and smoke still show as if the CV is still up

When sinking ships you get some things associated with an airfield ... such as bomber hanger ..town building ..vehicle entry spawn .. town building ...

The new stars look much better and the Milky Way is beautiful.  I like that you have also added many nebula and other Messier objects.  The star fields are very accurate assuming viewed from a latitude of Dallas TX (and a date of 9-24). 

[The moon is a bit out of phase (no pun intended); I can't get position and phase to match the planetarium program for any year.  I can't imagine anyone would ever notice and perhaps it's intentional so there are no moonless nights.]
