Airmen 1.8 brings one of the most requested features to the hangar: cooperative building. The system works using Steam's built-in networking solution so you can easily drop into a friend's session with no port forwarding required. Users share a hangar space but everything else is independent such as mirror mode, saving, or equipped part. Only the session host can load and dismantle. In the event of hangar desynchronization, simply disconnect and reconnect to repeat the sync process.
