Well done!

Any news about AI updates? From patch to patch I'm checking He111 bombers AI formation flying and after some time (5-10mins) they start waving hard and crash to each other. Can't fly SP bombers campaign because of this...

What variant of He-111 are you seeing this with? I haven’t had this problem with the H-2 for a while now, but I haven’t worked with the other variants.

Single missions have been updated.

Please note that when the Single Missions are updated by TFS it is NOT automatic that you will see the updated missions in your game immediately. This is because TFS will NEVER delete any files that are in your "\Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover" folders! So to get the updated Single Missions you must delete the old TFS missions in "\Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\missions\Single" while the game is closed, then next time you start the game the updated Single Missions are copied from "Steam" to "\Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\missions\Single" where you can play them.

Oh, that instruction should be in the patch notes. I don‘t think it is something people would think about (I didn‘t know it).

The 128 buttons is a great addition! Now VPC throttles for example should work no problem.

Why TFS can't use two folders for missions(like campaigns)? One in STEAM library and second in user documents. Those missions that created by TFS should be stored in steam library game folder and will be automatically updated.
In the game UI mark TFS and USER missions by different icons (or character before name) to resolve possible name collisions in different folders.

Well, My plans a bit changed and I found some time for testing.
In campaing He111P used. But here is video showcasing similar problem with He111H2. In this case collision happened when diving started. During campaign I played collision happened during climb.
