If we install an interim update before next official update is released, the official update is always an all inclusive update and overwrites the folders in the game file, correct?

Correct. If there are any extra steps that need to be taken (e.g. to manually delete a file/folder because it is not cleanly overwritten) these will be clearly stated in the release notes.

Thanks sunburn! Updating now

* New major feature: Proficiency levels. (First-pass implementation, side-level only)

Proficiency modifiers are applied on a side level (on the "Add/Edit Sides" window in ScenEdit mode) and can affect a wide number of factors. The available levels are Novice, Cadet, Regular, Veteran & Ace. Default proficiency level for each side is Regular.

* Aircraft turn rates and agility modifiers on missile evasion attempts are now affected by proficiency levels. The changes, as percentages of the original values, are as follows:

Novice : 60% of nominal
Cadet : 70% of nominal
Regular : 80% of nominal
Veteran : 100% of nominal
Ace : 110% of nominal

The weapon endgame messages have been updated to display the information of these modifiers.

* Units listed on the mission editor and the air ops window now use natural sorting for the list order. So instead of this:
Archer #1
Archer #10
Archer #11
Archer #12
Archer #2
Archer #3
Archer #4

...you get this:
Archer #1
Archer #2
Archer #3
Archer #4
[...]
Archer #10
Archer #11
Archer #12

* New major UI feature: Quick-jump slots. This allows the player to quickly & easily jump between locations/views of the battlefield without map zoom/pan delays.
How they work:
a) To store a slot: Select a unit/contact. Press Ctrl+[num], where [num] = 1...0 . The unit selection & camera altitude are now stored on slot No.[num] (and persisted per-side).
b) To jump to a saved slot: Simply press [num]. If a slot with that index exists, the camera will move to the marked unit location & altitude.
If you are using tracking-camera when saving a slot, this setting is also saved and enforced the next time you jump to this slot.
