Thank you for this.

Is this an all inclusive update ?

If I re-load the original version, will this upgrade take me all the way up to 1.09 ? Or do I have to perform sequential rev by rev upgrades to get to 1.09 ?

[AlvaroSousa]

the official install version is 1.00.091 in the files you install with everything from before. This is new school of how to do it not old school 1980s style.

Change UK removed 10 oil
• Change USA removed 40 oil

Could you clarify the above please?

[AlvaroSousa]

Exactly what it says UK 10 oil less, USA 40 oil less on the map

[AlvaroSousa]

I don't know why Google drive does this. I update the same file each time.
