iEntertainment, makers of WarBirds III, recently released a mandatory update bringing the multiplayer online World War II simulator to version 03.20.02.

The new version rolls in the changes made by the previous two non-mandatory updates, including, most notably, Mac OS X support. In addition, 03.20.02 adds some new features of its own:

• New: Kaga and destroyer models/cockpits.
  
• New: Macchi C205.
  
• Tracer smoke texture separated out-now in the \textures folder.
  
• Collisions will now not result in maneuver kills.
  
• Added torp limits: Torps will fail if on entry to water:
  
  • Angle < -30deg
    
  • Speed < 385mph.
• CM-Level commands:
  
  • NAVDRONES system setting: This controls who gets to issue .nav commands to drone boats, CVs & Ground Vehicles.

WarBirds III allows players around the world to participate in a persistent online universe set in Western Europe during the Second World War. The game's primary focus is air combat, but vehicle and ship support is slowly emerging.
