ACE Release Candidate 8



Fixed Lag issues in the ATOW portion of the mod.
BFCO menu issues reported by Moody seems to be fixed as a result of fixing the ATOW lag issue.
Fixed MH6 issues of unable to jump out.
Some ACE Pilot Eject Issues fixed.


In order to fix the MH6 issues we had to re-add the ATOW-ACEX portion of the mod. But not the full 1GB size of ATOW-ACEX. A much smaller version of ACEX.

THEREFORE -- You MUST ADD @atow-acex back to your mod line.

[[AToW]ViperMaul]

With this new update we are going back to @atow-acex mod. But a smaller version of it. Again this is to fix the troubles found with the MH6 not being able to jump out of the vehicle.

Your MOD line is expected to contain:
@atow-cba;@atow;@atow-ace;@atow-acex;@atow-acex_smUnless of course you do not want to use the ACE Sounds then. The "sm" in @atow-acex_sm stands for Sound Mod.
