Bug fixes

Also, thanks to all of the Su-27 external testing team (you know who you are!) without these guys help this
patch would not be of the quality that it is, and especially to Marek "Headcase" Paul whose help as our
external beta test co-ordinator has been invaluable. Onwards and upwards guys!

Please enjoy this free update, I'm sure you'll enjoy using it as much as we've had creating it.
