changedUncapped frame rateSince the day of launch, Sky Knights has been locked to 60 FPS. By popular request, I have now provided an option to either set an alternative frame rate cap (25, 30, 60, 80, 120 and 144 is available) or to disable the cap completely. To be clear, we still recommend using the 60 FPS cap. It will let your computer run cooler and more silent since the fans won't have to cool the graphics card as much. Furthermore, most monitors are running at 60 hz anyway. If you're running the game on a low end computer, it might even be a good idea to cap the frame rate at 30 FPS, as it's often a better experience to have 30 solid FPS than having a higher but more inconsistent frame rate. When you're in a match, and enable the options menu, you'll now see a frame rate indicator in the top left corner. You may also toggle this indicator manually with the F2 key.
addedBug squash!Even though it's more fun to create new features, every now and then, I'll spend a week or so just going through the backlog of those small irritating bugs and glitches to keep the game polished. While the game certainly is in a good state already, I'm determined to keep it that way and not accept bugs and hide behind the Early Access label. Big thank you to everyone who's helping out by posting about issues in the Discord #bugs_and_feedback channel. Regardless if you want to give feedback, or just hang out and chat about aircraft geek stuff, please join us on Discord ! Best regards //Bankler
