AW139 users, rejoice! It is finally here!
Fulfilling its promise to get back to the AW139 – a strategy which was understandably frowned upon by a lot of community members – X-Rotors has finally released the update for the AW139.
The changelog, which you can see below and also on the official website, is quite extensive and it covers quite a few improvements, bug fixes and updates.
You can get the update at the official website.
