Apparently, there are beta patches since 1.04 which fix and add a lot of stuff:

(current patch candidate)

   [59924]  Fixed: More 32b overflows caused by 8 GB RAM + large VRAM.

   [59906]  Fixed: Most vehicle gunners did not provide suppressive fire.

   [59047]  Fix: When player was a helicopter pilot, the AI gunner sometimes had no weapon selected on mission start

   [59030]  Fix: Helicopters - when manual fire on, do not allow AI gunner to switch weapons

There also seem to be additional in-game server admin tools added. Beta patches here - be advised that installing these may or may not affect your ability to connect to our server - the thread on TG says not but I haven't tried it:

Some mission links that have good reviews. Just posting here so I don't lose them.

They appear to be setup to change each iteration which would make interesting play.

The second one looks the most interesting. I'm going to try them locally later if I get five minutes.

Have a crack on the second one Arm.
