Greetings pilots! At long last, 0.39 is live and on the main branch. We expect there might still be some bugs and issues here and there, but overall we're happy with the update as it stands. This update serves to finally push Heliborne in the direction we originally intended. We hope you enjoy it, and we look forward to your feedback.
