The newest SW City Times issue has been released to newsstands everywhere.. with a brand new look! This is the first (2nd, counting Ant’s 2 issue redesign) redesign the paper has seen since the September 26th, 2001 issue, which is quite some time ago. The old design ran for a total of 41 issues.. lets hope this design runs for longer than that. 
A couple new AWG’s have been added, and the Advertisement directory has been updated on the SW City Builders Academy.

So, to no ones surprise, the release of AW4.2 beta was delayed for an unspecified period of time. Flagg released an official statement on the AW Forums.
One day later, AW4.2 has been released to the public in the form of a beta universe. If you haven’t been there already, you can check out Flagg’s most recent official statement and download the universe for yourself. Be sure to check out the CAV system in its infancy.. so far it’s looking pretty good.
