v1.5.14

• Fix race condition causing issues with HW mip-mapping enabled (issue #28)

Note that the dead-zone behaviour is not improved yet, but thanks to anyone who provided more data in issue #22

The file to download is xwing_ddraw_d3d11_1.5.14.zip - everything else is likely not relevant to you.

v1.5.13

• Add patch to disable joystick deadzone for more accurate joystick input (for all games of the series)
• Possible fix for far-away objects disappearing in target view

The file to download is xwing_ddraw_d3d11_1.5.13.zip - everything else is likely not relevant to you.

Some people report issues with drifting due to the disabled deadzone - you can re-enable it in the ddraw.cfg file, and you can help by contributing information on the issue in #22
