Vector Thrust news & patch notes

Other small and quick update. I've been reported that Hellrot's aircraft didn't appear automatically in the game unless you use the "cheat" in the challenge mode This update fixes that. Besides that, now workshop's custom aircraft can be placed in the mission editor without any problem. And one last change, in this update it also has been fixed what was causing a crash in the J-35D and Mod 4 challenges. I'll continue to keep an eye for any other issue that may pop up in the workshop, but let me know if you find one yourself.

A small update but it is worth reporting. It only contains a few fixes: -In HUD view camera mode, the weapons are no longer visible, their visibility in this mode was never intended. -The engine manages more effective if there is a workshop item with tweaked specs, before it worked properly, but in the editor mode it displayed a duplicate entry and used the default weapons. -And the last issue, fixed the crash when in presence to workshop items that are skins only.

A new update has been released and the first Rafale has been made available. http://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/6639456/10204cc82c49342155503a3620daeb53599f1855.png In this case it was the Rafale B01, the preproduction model of the B variant. The selection of this variant was purely coincidence, during development I honestly didn't have a clear picture of the full evolution of this family. http://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/6639456/1e467b48d3167da9fe2e6671f5f524274069c0c2.jpg But since then I've been looking for more information of this family, first, to complete the implementation of this model in game and later to have a complete idea of the whole family. After gathering all the information I could this is the evolution I believe is the most accurate: http://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/6639456/7e575332c36b588add3910d5750e63faf3f4b185.jpg (I recommend you to see it in full screen) Something to take note, is that this family dost not have much visual variety after production, much like the Mirage F1 all aircraft are very similar. But I can guarantee that all have a unique model. So the point of this report, is to begin a discussion about this family, I want to know if this representation is fine, and if it is not I would like to hear your reasoning. To conclude, I'll now post, some references I gathered of the lesser known variants to give a better perspective of the variations in shape: ACT A http://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/6639456/c9de3e5790f602b4e87b1c5afaeb6b51d6f0ced1.jpg ACT B http://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/6639456/e4382a1d4de37fe76e82053d32ace2892243cef7.jpg ACTC http://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/6639456/b8c6b6883e70d21853b0ff1d7581d2b97951dee6.jpg ACT D2C http://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/6639456/bfa4b20ff580b64054e66ce707e087e2b260bb12.jpg ACX Early: http://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/6639456/0437ad7c61c9d28c3edd481934d8308786974d73.jpg ACX Late: http://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/6639456/3a0e1c797046d7fc628845932310aeb582b1aee3.jpg Rafale FU(But represented as a sigle seater) http://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/6639456/9cebfc3c0da49930489909170c2f8b19aff6d400.gif Super Rafale: http://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/6639456/02bd963f66eb26543c444c4d8365d89cc588debf.jpg Rafale D (Or aleast it seems like it) http://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/6639456/f60881f313547f89344170be88f33675d2e97dc4.jpg

The two main highlights are:

• The new configuration for the multi lock, now it can be changed how it behaves on the options menu or using the command window during gameplay
• The new Alpha Strike attack, this action can be activated by pressing "change weapon"+"Fire selected weapon" at the same time, it will fire all available ammo immediately but with a of cost of a longer reload time.

New version available! Incubator only for now. In this update there are two things that need to be highlighted, first it has been added a possible fix for the X52 joystick, I wasn’t able to test it, so I’m interested to know if this update really fixes the issue of assigning new controls with this joystick. The other important addition it is the addition of a small code optimization that makes intense battles the run much faster. Other point that may as well be equally important, the avionics specs continue to be revised, in this update it was updated the F-16 and Su-47 family. Related to this, here is a tip, the stats in the hangar are helpful but they can be very misleading if you don’t consider the role of each aircraft. Also there have been several improvements in the cutscenes, but while they are being announced here they will likely only be visible after that campaign becomes available, but to anyone interested, during the cutscenes is now possible to offer choices to the player that will affect the outcome of future missions. And finally, multi lock and rocket accuracy have been fixed. CHANGE LIST

New version available! Incubator only for now. In this update there are two things that need to be highlighted, first it has been added a possible fix for the X52 joystick, I wasn’t able to test it, so I’m interested to know if this update really fixes the issue of assigning new controls with this joystick. The other important addition it is the addition of a small code optimization that makes intense battles the run much faster. Other point that may as well be equally important, the avionics specs continue to be revised, in this update it was updated the F-16 and Su-47 family. Related to this, here is a tip, the stats in the hangar are helpful but they can be very misleading if you don’t consider the role of each aircraft. Also there have been several improvements in the cutscenes, but while they are being announced here they will likely only be visible after that campaign becomes available, but to anyone interested, during the cutscenes is now possible to offer choices to the player that will affect the outcome of future missions. And finally, multi lock and rocket accuracy have been fixed. CHANGE LIST

This announcement is about the last two updates made available in the past few days. They are available on the incubator branch only, but the players that use the standard build can run the incubator at anytime, more information can be found in the " Incubator branch" thread. This new build should be more solid and clean of issues than the existing version, but give it a few days just to be sure that it doesn´t introduces critical issue and then it will be made part of the default content. As for the update itself, since now all the gameplay mechanics are in place, it is a lot easier to find and correct all the issues that have been lurking around, this update fixes lots of them, especially in the mission and campaign editor. Also, the ongoing development of the final campaigns are providing an excellent opportunity to test all the existing features, so anyone interested in using the editors will be pleased with these improvements. This update also includes several new bombers units that will be used in these campaigns, some still need some tweaks, but they can consider this as a preview of the final campaign. A notable unit is the SWL-3, this is because it is a boss unit with support role that uses laser type weapons to neutralize enemy projectiles. Also speaking about lasers, it is clear that several of you might have been interested for quite some time in the addition of this kind of weapon, while at the moment there aren´t a lot of examples, I think it has more than enough to play around and make you own. A final point, this update also tweaks the gameplay balance of some units, first it changes the special weapons as the result of ongoing discussion in the forums and other it updates avionics parameters to properly follow the role of the unit. In this update only a few families have been tweaked but the rest will be done in the following updates CHANGE LIST
