This update mainly features many changes under the hood, allowing for the implementation of various planned ground/sea targets which will be added further down the line. Many missing controls which were previously invisible to the player have been added to the controls panel. The only control still missing is the zoom in/out which is bound to mouse scrollwheel. More interesting are the various new aircraft, including the first thrust-vectoring plane to be added to the game.
Going forward, I'll be handling updates a bit differently. Instead of going for few large updates, I'll be breaking stuff up into smaller chunks to keep a steady flow of content going. This means there will be many small updates gradually introducing new features to the game.
