Air Defender Changelog - Version 0.4.8.12 - January 2026

New Features

- QRA Launch Command: The player now has the option to choose how many (1-4) interceptors to launch and from which base.

Improvements

- Nimrod: Aircraft Control tab has been added and loitering orbit size reduced. Nimrod trackblocks now show fuel percentage (e.g., F65%).

Bug Fixes

- Pause Track Removal: A fix has been applied to stop tracks from being removed when the game is paused.

- Backspace Sound Amplification: The track removal when using the backspace key no longer amplifies audio notifications.

- Airport Approach Holding: Improvements have been made to EGPH and EGLL holding procedures to prevent recurring permanent hold issues.

- Sortie RTB Comms: A fix has been applied to sorties in the middle of an intercept but RTB and still continue with the intercept voice procedure.

- Pair Split: Pairs now RTB together instead of getting split if the RTB command is given to the wingman and not the leader.

- Right click menu commands: Commands now apply to both aircraft in a pair.

- Nimrod Refuel: Improvements have been made to ensure Nimrod aircraft join tankers, take on fuel, and no longer snap back to orbit after refuelling.

- Nimrod Refuel Altitude: Nimrod now joins tankers at the same altitude.
