You just need to install the last one.

Currently running 1.9.3 and I just checked for an update and was told there is a new one. What is fixed in 1.9.3a?

The first installer had some missing files, making it incompatible with certain earlier versions. If it worked fine for you then there is no need to install 1.9.3a.

A next patch will come early next week however to fix a few issues introduced in 1.9.3

Will the patch address the fact that airplanes can only land if there is only one choice available? A plane in between two carriers can not land, unless one is full or the plane is overhead of one of them. Also it appeared that a rewarded unit will loose all experience if you upgrade the equipment.

You can land when there are two options, but after pressing the button you have to click on the landing hex.

When I try to land with two options I only have an option to Cancel Ability.
