GNG Package Changelog

This page contains an unfiltered technical changelog to the Swedish GNG package.

The Swedish GNG package can be downloaded automatically via Euroscope, or manually here.

For a filtered summary of changes optimised for controllers, see Revision Highlights.

Euroscope does not allow for plugins to overwrite when updating the sectorfiles using the automatic download. After updating, close EuroScope then go to "EuroScope > ESAA > Plugins > Updated Plugin" and copy the .dll files in the folder. Thereafter go back in the "Plugins" folder and paste the .dll files there. Overwrite existing files when prompted.
