Version B1.011

Version B1.011

New:

• New Tier 3 jet, “Meteor”!

• Predator drone kills now award an additional clock-based Merit bonus, like Helicopters.

• Clients can now see their ping to the game host.

• You may now preview additional paintjobs for airplanes that you have not yet purchased.

Changes:

• New players who complete the tutorial will achieve “Certified” status. Old players, who completed the tutorial, can now become “Certified” by redoing any portion of the tutorial.

• The Predator drone’s radar blip is now significantly larger. Its radar has a greater scan radius revealing more enemy positions and health pickups.

• Submitted orders for airplane payload is checked on the server for compatibility, and capacity violations and merit.

• Collision animations are now issued server side (hopefully this will help collisions look more consistent across all clients)

• Changed “InsufficientFunds” warning to “Insufficient Merit”.

Fixes:

• An airplane that is killed while the pilot is disconnected from the game will now go through health states and collide with other objects properly.

• Takeoff button now appears correctly when reconnecting.

• Mission clock now appears correctly after reconnecting.

• Fixed Apache Contest timer partially blocking the takeoff button.

• Predator drone will now fly to the playing altitude more quickly, accurately, and reliably.

• Presets and the Hangar have been giving us some trouble, but we believe they are now reliably working as intended.

• We’re still tracking cases in which the Hangar can produce an “InvalidBuy” or “Duplicate Plane” error. If you encounter these, please leave a bug report in Discord.

• Adjusted the network code for the Predator drone. It should have a more accurate position between clients now.

• Fixed another case in which two UFOs could spawn at the same time.

• Achievement “Aces High” and its related stat, “Airplanes Killed” are now tracked correctly.

• Achievements related to killing airplanes with the various types of guided missiles should now be working correctly.

• Burst Missiles will now properly report to the hit-feed, kill-feed, and achievement stats for kills and guidance type.
