Hello All,

I have completed the next version of HyperLobby. It is my pleasure to announce my new sponsor…NaturalPoint!

NaturalPoint is the creator of TrackIR 3 PRO with Vector Expansion 3D view control system. It gives you the ability to change your in-game view by making small movements with your head. It eliminates the need for a POV hat-switch and the use of padlock! It is a "must have" device for flight simulator fans.

They sent me a unit for testing and I am very impressed with the device! The high precision and low computer resource usage is amazing. It’s a winner in all cases when compared to any other related solutions I have tried before. No webcam can compete with the TrackIR.

After that experience, I decided that it would be a good idea to advertise the device to all HyperLobby users. Additonally, all users that purchase a TrackIR by clicking on the $15 Off link provided in HyperLobby will directly support future development of HyperLobby!

If you don’t know what a TrackIR is or you are not sure about the quality of the product (like I did before I tried it), you should read reviews listed at the NaturalPoint website:
http://www.naturalpoint.com/trackir/products/reviews.html

or watch some of the videos listed here:
http://www.naturalpoint.com/trackir/products/video.html

If you already have the TrackIR, but you would like to support HyperLobby with a small contribution please feel free to contact me. :-)

Now about the changelog ...

New features:
-"Dogfights in progress" server list get some sorting options. Just click at the label "Dogfights in progress" and select sorting options you want :)
-Game logo place is now used for TrackIR advertisment banner. The game name is showed in the HL window dropbox

Bufixes:
-No bugs were found, but I promise that I will include some in to the next release :)
