Dedicated Server. Fix mission restart, now server not crashes even if next mission do not exists or broken.
AI aircraft will be accelerate to required speed for weapon launch if this weapon required certain minimum speed. For example ARM missile Kh-31 requires minimum 0.7M for sure launch.
MP. F10 map. With target mark on, the aircraft type, player nick and mark text is overlapped - fixed.
Fixed crash caused by video driver NV 430.39 when MK-20 or CBU canisters opens. We strongly recommend to update Nvidia drivers to version 430.53 (https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answ...tail/a_id/4798) for preventing crashes on graphical effects.
