Notes
Some of the visuals for the ocean on the horizon depend on the view distance being set high. If the view distance is too low, flying extremely high may degrade visuals depending on hardware. Post processing can affect very far view distances when looking down or at shadows. You may want to disable Ambient Occlusion when increasing to the extreme.
There are now over 90 parts in the game.
I will upload the vessels from the update video to the workshop.
