Ace medals and HUD color customization

In-game options

There's now an options panel under the pause menu (similar to the one in the main menu). So you can now change resolution and other graphics- and gameplay settings in the middle of a match.

HUD color customization

You can now choose from a selection of colors to customize your HUD color scheme. This could be useful if you need increased contrast on certain maps. For color blind players, you can now avoid the red on green problem.

Ace medal

Season 7 has just started! From now on, if you reach Ace rank (surpass rank 1), you'll be awarded a medal that is visible on your prematch-portrait. Aces from previous seasons will get a significant rank bonus for free this season, but will have to progress through the final ranks to unlock the medal.

American Daily Match Hour - 9.00 PM EST

Our American players have voted to decide an official daily match hour for the US server. Most player prefered 9-10 PM EST. This match hour (which should correspond with activity peak hour) is now visible in the server browser.

Form teams! Get fancy Discord names!

If you form a team with at least three players and jump on Discord, send us a message and we'll kit you up with fancy golden colors for all team members' Discord names. The requirements are that you wear [clantags] in Discord, that you have a leader/spokesperson and that you as a team play at least one match against another team on Discord.

Bug fixes and QoL stuff

There are quite a bit of bug fixes. Thanks to everyone who has helped out with reporting. Smaller QoL features have been added, like selecting region in the server browser, instead of having to open the options screen. You can now also see what aircraft the other players are flying in the scoreboard.

See you in the skies!
