Launch
The launch of Aviassembly went really well. Thank you so much for all the support! It is amazing to see that people are enjoying the game. All the feedback, bug reports and ideas that I received are really useful.
While I try to read all feedback, it has been hard to respond to everyone, my apologies. I'm currently working on patches that should come out next week!
