+===Bombable add-on updated to Version 4.5b===
+Flightgear add-on Bombable, which turns Flightgear into a full-featured combat flight simulator, was updated to version 4.5b on January 9th.
+Highlights of the new version:
+* '''Improvements that help with FG 2.12 compatibility''' (particularly FG 2.12's new/improved way of handling AI scenarios)
+*  '''Improved version of the historically accurate Sopwith Camel''' (choose the JSBSim version of the Camel that is included in the package)
+* '''Respawn scenario aircraft, vehicles, and ships either a single clump OR retaining their relative positions and altitudes'''
+* Together with FG's new more flexible scenario system, this means '''you can load Bombable's scenarios instantly and move them to wherever you are in the world instantly'''--making it a lot quicker and more fun to run the Bombable AI scenarios. You're not stuck with doing scenarios in the one place they were originally set up--you can easily move them to anywhere in the world, while retaining the original scenario's general setup (bombers in a formation, fighter flying cover, tanks scattered around hillsides, etc)
+* '''Improvements to AI aircraft realism''', bug fixes.
