Hello testers! The first public multiplayer test phase is now available on public_testing. So far, you will only be able to run a simple free flight/dogfighting scenario in the F/A-26B with up to 4 vs 4 players. If you would like to participate in the testing, please join us in #public_testing on Discord and opt into the testing branch in the game's properties window on Steam.
If you're new to public_testing please note that things can break quite often when I push out a bunch of new features or changes. Also, mods are not supported on the testing versions.
I will continue to update the public_testing branch as the multiplayer features get added.
Your feedback helps me find all the problems and try to solve them quickly!
Thank you, and I'll see you in the skies!
v1.3.0p22 public_testing
F/A-26B
- Added Multiplayer Dogfighting for F/A-26B (multiplayer development phase I)
- Added Push-To-Talk option for voice recognition (PTT button is on your chest/neck area, plus the second thumb button on Index controllers.)
- Comms panel is also used for multiplayer voice chat
- Show player callsign in cockpit
General
- Changed Nav map to only update enemy positions based on last known positions (data linked with friendly units)
- Require "Wingmen" prefix for wingmen voice recognition
- Limited player's visual unit detection to player's field of view for AV-42C and F/A-26B
- Added camera turning to right controller for post-eject locomotion
- Changed Workshop content management system to only load content on demand instead of loading every subscribed item of content at start up. This should help with memory/lag issues for people with a lot of content subscribed
- Fixed: going back from a mission briefing in a workshop campaign would go back to the workshop browser instead of going back to the campaign's mission list
- Reduced memory usage of workshop map previews when selecting a map for a new mission
- Fixed: arm IK glitches rapidly when hands are in certain positions
Mission Editor
- Fixed scroll view in map selector
