Wilco Publishing has released update 1.1 for their Tower Simulator standalone product.

Bizarre as it may seem, you can only see a list of changes by registering on the forum! Why they don’t make it public knowledge, I don’t know. I’d have thought they would want potential customers (and existing ones) to know what they had improved.

I’ve tried signing up for the forum, but I’m still waiting for my confirmation. As soon as I get it (if!), I’ll post the changes.
