2023-07-25
- Fixed the issue where aircraft livery cannot be selected in multiplayer.
- More random spawn points in death match mode for multiplayer. (Note: This modification requires upgrading the multiplayer version, as the old and new versions will be mutually invisible on the server side. We recommend you upgrade to the new version for multiplayer gaming.)

- Enhanced the padlock feature. It now supports up to three targets, and tap again will switch to the next target.
- Added a dogfight indicator. When holding the padlock to visually lock onto hostile, you can use this indicator to determine the relative position between the tracked target and your aircraft, In multiplayer dogfights, this will be of great assistance.
- The UI of free flight and game settings has been updated.
- Added multiplayer score and number of win leaderboards to the Game Center.
- Fixed the problem of radar signal going through the mountain.
- Fixed some bugs.

2023-06-09
-Finally, the multiplayer is here! Apologies for the delay. Currently, only the F18 is supported, but stay tuned for future updates as we'll be adding support for other aircraft.
Now, you can arrange with your friends for a 1v1 dogfight in a private room. Alternatively, you can join Deathmatch rooms and engage in battles with players from around the world. If you prefer a non-combat experience, the Free Flight room allows you to peacefully train and fly in formation with your friends. This version is just the beginning, and in the future, I will add more gameplay options, such as carrier recovery training. I will also introduce additional features like real-time voice chat.

-Optimized the rendering of the transition of the land toward the horizon in the high-altitude view. Enhances the effect of fog.
-I always thought the classic hornet used FULL FLAP for catapult, but I was wrong, it uses HALF FLAP, Super Hornet uses FULL FLAP, thanks to Fabio Todesco for reminding me about it. Now it has been fixed, and it also has the ability to automatically set the AOA trim and NU trim based on weight when catapulting.
-Jamming algorithm updated for jamming infrared missiles with flares.
-Fixed some problems in the flight control.

-F18C/D More accurate aerodynamic and performance simulation, now it can better fit the real flight envelope.
-Bridge redone for USS Ford carrier (deck and hull will also be redone in a future update).
-Physics calculations upgraded from 50 Hz to 100 Hz, bringing more accurate and smooth physics calculations.
-Used a more accurate atmospheric model to render the environment and updated the core algorithm.
-Real astronomical data to determine the position of the sun, moon and constellations.
-Completely rewritten lighting model and rendering system to represent richer surface materials of the aircraft.

2020.3.03
2021-01-12

2020.2.09
2020-11-10
-Finally, the gun sight of F-18 was correctly implemented. The Gun director considered the target acceleration to predict the impact point, and had high accuracy in the snapshot. It is assumed that the target does not have a large acceleration change during the bullet flight time. At the same time, it has high stability.
-Padlock button and an attitude indicator were added. This padlock button has the function of zooming in/out and firing at the same time. For the upcoming 1V1 gun dog fight multiplayer function. When you use a narrow FOV to observe hostile, you need it to remind you of the current attitude and the relative position of the hostile.
-Use Taptic engine to add some vibration feedback to some buttons and operations.
-Re-implemented the camera shake simulation of the cockpit perspective.
2020.2.08
2020-09-19
Fix bugs and performance optimization
2020.2.07
2020-09-06
-New map NAS Fallon
-Missile flight control system upgraded
In the previous version, launching missiles at high AOA or high g, especially AIM9X, is very easy to get out of control or target unlocking. If launching AIM120 in active mode with high AOA, the flight vector will lag, causing The target cannot be captured correctly. The modification of the flight control system improves these situations.
-MFD function panel changes
In the previous version, only when the MFD interface is displayed, you can activate it's function panel. Now you can activate it at any time, even if the MFD interface is not displayed. For example, in dogfight, you can directly turn on the radar's ACM mode to quickly lock the hostile.
-Improve F14's flight control system
There will not be much pitch changes during the process of changing the sweep angle. The FCS has been modified to enhance the stability of the pitch axis and roll axis, and the effect of the spoiler under different angles of attack has been calibrated.

Updated the tonemapping algorithm
-Better g-load limiter
