With the subsequent BI DLC updates including the integration of 64 Bit , it set the mod back longer than anticipated. However due to the hard work and determination of the team most of these obstacles have been finally overcome. Along with countless model updates and enhancements the team is satisfied that it is in a stable condition for release.
And yes there are still plenty of things that need fixing and a few bugs here and there but remember this is a progress update and we will address them as we move forward.
