Once available to CombatACE site subscribers only, now we offer an updated version of the package to all CombatACE users as our Christmas gift, regardless of a subscription.
You are not required to own a subscription, but keep in mind that the mod is distributed in a hefty, yet highly compressed 3GB installer which contains 15GB of contents. You will need a stable internet connection in order to download it. The mod cannot and will not be offered in a different form. A subscription grants you unlimited number of downloads for its duration and will support the site's hosting costs.
