Hotfix #27 Patch Notes

Our team has been focused on bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements the last few weeks, and we have a fresh batch of changes for you.

Changelog:

Fixes

• Fixed issues with some custom maps not being playable

• Fixed issue of some crew members not pathfinding to defensive equipment when the alarm starts

Quality-of-life changes

• Added ability to prioritize the construction of entire runways

• Added ability to rotate roofs

• Added skin unlock notifications

• Added indicator in equipment assignment menu to show which plane a crew member belongs to

• Added time controls to map editor

• Balanced Crew Mood Bonus for missions and min. plane stats for multi-seat aircraft

Next, we are preparing for Major Update 5, which, among other things, includes focusing on making a new tutorial / onboarding process. This has been a big feedback point, and it's important for the future of the game. We think Ground of Aces is now far enough in our Early Access phase and still early enough before 1.0 to make a new tutorial and then improve it further with your feedback.

We are also working on a community feature that is planned before the next major update which aims to celebrate map creations from other players. Stay tuned!

We continue to check the incoming feedback and bug reports from the in-game feedback tool, the Steam reviews and forum posts, and Discord discussions. Thank you all for your feedback and reports!
