Essential improvements

Longbow Gold on Windows

Both of these methods are similar, but have different installation methods. GoldFXA and GoldFX are not interchangable and are exclusive to their seperate versions.

Applying the GoldFX(A) patch will render the A variant of the Longbow unplayable, making only the AH-64D usable.
