This update improves gameplay with some highly anticipated changes and fixes. With respect to our previews devlog:
- fixed crashes with padlock views due to invalid plane ID
- improved accuracy of bombs (CCIP mark) and LAU-68 rockets
- Alt+Tab no longer mutes sound, thus there should be no more problems with engines going mute (if you want to properly mute the sound effects, press P to pause)
- fixed alarm sounds persisting across AWACS sessions
- fixed HOTAS buttons >= 32 not working
- added HOTAS button options for:
create shootlist (on keyboard: T)
- increase sensor range (Page up)
- decrease sensor range (Page down)
- launch countermeasures (Del)
if a radar-guided missile is currently locked on to you, this launches chaff
- if an IR-guided missile is locked on, this launches flare
- if both are locked on, it launches both
- if nothing is currently locked on, it launches flare
- cockpit view (F1)
- target view (F2)
- toggle airbrake (B)
- enable thrust vectoring (key above Tab)
- toggle gear (G)
- AMRAAMs are now properly designated as Fox three
- Takeoff training mission: delayed Learjet takeoff time so it doesn’t block players
We also have an experimental preview branch where you can get updates before they are published to all players – read the thread in our discussion forums for details!
