Visual Improvements
Augmented Vision: Added Augmented Vision on activation of Sensors to help new and seasoned players find their way in the dark of space.
Ultra Wide Support: FOV now adjusts dynamically based on screen aspect ratio to ensure that all vital parts of the ship cockpit remain visible regardless of monitor aspect ratio.
Vehicle HUD Update: When the HMCS widget is triggered to be visible, the HUD brackets will now hide themselves to reduce visual clutter on screen.
Game Resource Menu
The new Game Resource menu is now available. You can access it through the News button in the hangar. This menu provides ongoing updates about current development progress. If you opened this message inside the game, you are already using it.
You will also find quick access to the Pilot Manual, the FAQ, and the Steam Community page. These are available if you have questions or want to share something with other pilots.
Work has started on a series of short tutorial videos. Once released, they will appear under the Videos tab. Each video will cover a focused topic such as flight maneuvering, combat tactics, or general piloting fundamentals.
