CHANGES
- Increased rewards from completing missions
- Increased sound of aircraft in the background of the main menu
- Me262HG III Missiles & cluster bombs now have to be unlocked like the Me262
- Reduced tris by 10% on AI models to increase performance(5% expected at the moment)
- I will continue to do small improvements over the game’s lifetime
- Engine Update to the latest LTS version (Improved editor performance & physics calculations & editor bug fixes)
- This mainly helps me with making and building the game but it should also make the game perform more smoothly
- Lens flare’s in some missions and that should now active
Transition to URP failed as custom shaders that I use wasn’t compatible.
Transition to Silicon also failed as parts of the build required use of DLL files so this prevent Silicon use.

BUG FIXES
- Measurements sometimes not updating properly while in main menu, This should be fixed with the new UI
- Fixed unlocked for gun pods & clusters when completing last mission of Europe
- Reworked Europe night lighting(Survival + Custom Missions) so it doesn’t bug out like crazy
- I’ll look at improving this later down the track so it looks more nice
- Game crashing on exit(MacOS)
- I understand that there also has been crashing for Window7 on exit but due to limited hardware I can’t test if this is fixed for Windows 7
- Pylons for missiles & bombs not spawning payload in the correct position
- Resolution buttons on macOS selection was in reverse sort
- UI scaling should be better for wide screen & smaller display ratios
- MG’s would stop making noise after a burst of firing
- CR42 model holes has been fixed
- Reworked bit of the AI to reduce crashing into the ground once they start an engagement
