Update 1.0.6 is out!
In a few weeks, we hope to do a little community tournament, to which everyone is invited. In preparation for this, I have implemented a spectator mode, to enable a streamer to view and broadcast the match without having to fly his/her own jet!
I have also looked at the balance between the aircraft. It's actually looking like a pretty even field. To everyone's surprise though, it turned out that the "ugly duckling", the Su-25, was a little too good on shooting down other jets, because of the high damage cannon. This isn't really what it was supposed to do, so I have tweaked a few values on that aircraft.
In addition to that, update 1.0.6 brings some smaller bugfixes and quality-of-life features as color coded chat and more.
PATCH NOTES:
1.0.6

* Decreased Su-25 gun damage from 30 to 24.
* Su-27 slow speed turning power slightly decreased.
* Added a four second slowmotion when a player hotjoins, to reduce potential control problems caused by the synchronization lag.
