This build is almost a true “release candidate”. Any and all feedback and bug reports are still welcome! Not much left to go - basically just more polish and more testing/fixing….
IMPROVEMENTS:
-Improved low quality sky visuals
-New non-volumetric clouds
-VR: ISS choosing to snap to the right also checks if you are looking right at an NPC, not just at the ISS snap location
-VR: Fixed blip to show ISS on device
-VR: Fixed the progress bar on the "head to front end" hold button not progressing
-VR Quest: Voice active checkbox is now updated every time entering the audio options area. This is important for device now since Oculus now does permissions without pausing the app which is great but broke this.

-Completely finished polishing all information console articles and images.
-Information console has received a major visual polish/completion pass.
-Can now recycle regardless of full energy - excess/waste energy is expelled

-VT Civilian Defense lvl2: spawning, geometry, loadouts polished. Level complete!
-VT Civilian Defense lvl3: fixed various spawning issues and made various improvements.
-Added missing "quick load game" key to bindings window
-AI soldiers will now have weaker “noticing” for non-player hated targets like they do to the player when wandering around before they become aware of targets.
-AI soldiers can now weild C.E.A.Rs
Missile Defense:
-Added "base crosshair" HUD element to F35 fighter that shows up over all fighters once they enter the battlefield so they can be better seen and targetted early. turns off once locked on.

-Fixed not being able to shoot youself with a cear bolt (one that has hit something and comes back at you)
-Fixed radial force on grenades so explosions can push bodies around
-Fixed fighter jets not being restored on load (it was just their position and was caused by an optimization). All current save games will restore them now.
-VR news AI reporter lines cleaned up - fixes long-standing bug where iDGi-1 erroneously attributed some lines to Malcolm Thomas.
-Fixed VT civilians saying two lines at once.
-Fixed elevator room bounds sticking way into the hallway which was causing the skybox to not be turned off in the VT sometimes. Not sure how this actor got nudged…
-Fixed VT editor level AI groups not working which led to bad behavior for "go to the exit" or any AI node queries really....
-Fixed VT user scenario Death Gauntlet level conditions not being meetable. Also set a level fail condition of losing 1 friendly.
-Set VT user scenario Held in Heat to fail if losing 1 friendly.
Missile Defense:
