[Scott Przybylski]

With the new update, I have decided to start up a Patreon account (patreon.com/HydroSim) for those who would like to help contribute to server costs and the further development of my passion project HydroSim. There is no obligation to sign up, HydroSim will continue to be free for all to play.

1. Fixed Phantom engine sounds the would get stuck playing forever.
2. Fixed issue with self-washdowns (especially with the GP).

@scott-przybylski Hi Scott, I have never used Patreon before, but I'm definitely going to get setup and kick you a some bucks.

I have only been playing for a few weeks, but this is a very polished effort.

Good Luck.

@scott-przybylski do I have to re-download Hydrosim to get the benefits of the new version

[Scott Przybylski]

@unleashed-super Yeah, you'll need to download the new version of game from the website. Typically when I make code changes, it requires a new version and download of the game.

I am able to add/update courses, boats (and now sounds) through bundles, which download automatically when you start the game.
