 - More than 300 voiced radio messages for immersive and realistic coms
 - Supports both single-player and small-scale PvE on closed servers
 - Persistent single player career mode, with awards and promotions. Dying won't reset your progress, but you have to come back to base alive for your kills and completed objectives to be saved to your profile, so watch out for SAMs on your way home
+- All new AI wingman system, smarter and more immersive than DCS's original wingmen
 - Uses advanced DCS World scripting functionalities (like the brand new Disposition singleton and net.dostring_in hacks) to achieve effects seldom seen in other scripts, such as graphic overlays and random but realistic placement of units in cities and forests without the use of handmade spawn points
 - Various little details to make the DCS world more alive, like crew running away from destroyed vehicles

+  - Please note: as of DCS 2.9.18.12899, it seems the autoexec.cfg file [is no longer needed](https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/news/changelog/release/2.9.18.12899/) but I advise you to copy it anyway, ED might change its mind again.
 - Copy the .miz files for your theater(s) of choice to your **[Saved Games]\DCS\Missions directory**
 - _**(Optional but strongly recommended)**_ Unsanitize the Lua IO module. You don't have to do this, but the persistent career system won't work if you don't. To do it, open the file **[DCS World installation directory]\Scripts\MissionScripting.lua** with a text editor and comment or remove the line "sanitizeModule('io')". Make sure you restart DCS World once you've modified the file.
