Airmen 1.12.4 brings new parts, new cosmetics, new quests, a new island, a popularly requested lobby feature. Captains can now adjust the share count they and crew members will receive. Captains can set share counts between 0 and 5 for themselves and the crew.
Square rudders and fan propellers also become available. These new components are unlocked by completing the new set of contract introductory quests. Square rudders are heavier, more durable, and offer higher stabilization forces than the existing rudders. Fan propellers introduce a new shape for propulsion parts.
This update also crams a new island between Glacier and Ridgeline. The island favors spawning drone equipped enemies. Be sure to swing by and explore to unlock the new cosmetics added this update.
