Hi Everyone,
We have an awesome update just in time for the weekend!
We now support the X52 Hotas (see steam guides for layout) We have also improved many aspects of the game with performance and visuals and effects. We have put a fix in for those who have the required kills to unlock ships. If you clocked up scramble stats before 0.57 then these would not count towards unlocking sjip. Just pass or fail a scramble mission to unlock ships you have earned. We have also fixed up more issues and have cleaned up the CDF Database.
