Try to keep the play time down below 2 hours in any session, after that you need to restart the game. It doesn't matter how good your computer is, after 2 hours weird errors such as this start to appear. And if you save after the error has occurred, if will follow you 'til the end of the game.

The problem is that one needs the ACT file for any new car, and the only one I found was the crappy one I already implemented. There might be others hidden in some other folder or in Reloaded, but I haven't had the time to check it more thoroughly.

I think the order of the mercs are determined by their GUMID number, not sure if there's a way to alter that. It might be the MERCENARIES file order that gives them that number, but I haven't tested it so it's only speculations on my part.

It could be implemented without the HLA launcher as well, the problem is all the attachment models required. If I had the models I'd prolly do it, but I'm not willing to borrow them from the HLA guys.

Even tho Ive been terribly busy at work I've been able add a lot to the next version already. The work project deadline is tomorrow, after that I'll add and fix a few more things before the final testing period. Here's a small preview of what will come
