Version 0.901 – Worldwide Tower Update 🌍
This update introduces one of the biggest accessibility improvements for V-Air so far: full interface localization and subtitles in 13 languages.
For players who already use English, this may seem like a smaller change at first glance. But for many future controllers around the world, being able to understand menus, tutorials, objectives, and subtitle communications in their own language can completely change the experience.
Making V-Air more accessible to players worldwide has been a major step, and this update opens the tower doors to many more people.
🌐 New: Interface Localization & Subtitles
V-Air now supports:
Portuguese (Brazil)
English
German
Spanish
French
Italian
Japanese
Korean
Dutch
Polish
Russian
Turkish
Chinese (Simplified)
This includes translated:
User interface
Menus
Objectives
Tutorials
Subtitle communications
This is a major milestone for V-Air, and more improvements will continue to arrive as development moves forward.
Thank you to everyone supporting the project and helping bring V-Air to controllers around the world ✈️🌎

3D Clouds & Advanced Weather Control
This update brings a major visual and gameplay upgrade to V-Air, with the introduction of 3D Clouds and expanded control over weather and traffic in Nonstop Operations mode.
New Feature: 3D Clouds
Added 3D Clouds, significantly improving depth, atmosphere, and realism.
Enhanced the overall look of the existing 2D cloud layers, improving blending and visual consistency.
Weather Selection – Nonstop Operations
You can now fully control the weather setup in Nonstop Operations:
Choose from weather presets or create your own custom weather.
Adjustable parameters include:
Time of day
Wind
Cloud coverage
Visibility
Rain
After selecting the initial weather, the system will automatically generate random weather transitions over time.
You can define:
How long each weather condition lasts
The transition time between weather changes
This creates a more dynamic and unpredictable operational environment.
Traffic Configuration – Nonstop Operations
Expanded control over traffic generation:
Set the initial number of IFR and VFR aircraft.
Define the maximum number of simultaneous traffic.
Customize spawn intervals for IFR and VFR traffic.
Choose from traffic density presets for quicker setup.
V-Air continues to evolve in Early Access, and this update is a big step toward more dynamic weather, deeper immersion, and better replayability. As always, community feedback plays a key role — thanks for flying with us!
