Update v1.1.1
Hello all - update v1.1.1 should now be available! The following changes are a part of todays update.
v1.1.1 Update — Improvements and Fixes
- Added a Squadron Museum, allowing you to permanently retire surviving aircraft while preserving their identity, modifications and recorded service history. Museum aircraft no longer occupy operational hangar space.
- Added individual aircraft service records, including recorded pilots, missions and achievements.
- Added aircraft milestone notices for 25, 50 and 100 sorties, and 5, 10 and 20 recorded aircraft victories, with review links from the Mission Report and Hangar.
- Added a Flight Readiness panel to Missions, highlighting incomplete setup, unavailable pilots, aircraft problems and resource shortages before launch.
- Added readiness cautions for pilot fatigue, stress and worn aircraft, with a compact layout for smaller screens.
- Improved mission cost previews and launch checks to correctly include Quartermaster discounts and flight-size rounding.
- Added pilot order explanations showing how selected roles, instructions and flight combinations work.
- Improved the Flight Leader role with a personal effectiveness bonus and removed its previous personal survival penalty. The existing flight-wide effectiveness bonus remains.
- Improved contact variation between sorties flown in the same week. Each launch now receives a separate initial contact roll, while existing contact probability tables remain unchanged.
- Improved quiet mission reports and pilot logs to distinguish no enemy aircraft contact from a mission with no victories.
- Added pilot leave options and clearer highlighting of squadron dispatches.
- Added clearer explanations of research and doctrine bonuses.
- Improved historical national aircraft availability, enemy aircraft eligibility and aircraft arrival information, including Encyclopedia dates.
- Added persistent sector facilities and clearer relocation capacity information.
- Improved downed-pilot territory information and casualty reporting.
- Fixed missing player MIA resolution notices when AI pilot resolutions occurred at the same time.
- Added free renown aircraft trials, with loan aircraft requiring no hangar slot and exclusive use by their assigned pilot.
- Clarified AI pilot lifetime victories, historical squadron victory totals and roster counts across leaderboards, dossiers and intelligence screens.
- Updated the Field Manual with guidance on Flight Readiness, pilot orders, Museum retirement and aircraft records.
- Fixed navigation to the Screen Size help section in the Field Manual.
