Holy cow, this thing is five years old. And it's getting a point-one update. What is it?
With 1.1, upon placement the tripod will orient itself to be facing in the same direction as your avatar. This is to allow for placement in any direction when edit ability is restricted, such as when RLV/RLVa is enabled for OCS 2.
As always, the manual is a fount of knowledge.
So yes, the M2 is useable in Fulda Gap once again. Thanks for your patience on this one. :)
