Hi all -

We have updated the Public Beta branch today.

We are beginning to introduce fixes for aircraft performance and behavior. These changes are included here with more to come. We have also reworked the Options menu, and moved all camera controls into a new Camera Controls UI accessible from a new button at bottom right in-game.

This update includes new key binds for some of the more commonly used actions (sensors/EMCON, ROE, Flight Deck, Event Log, etc). This necessitated a refresh of controls, so players will see a warning dialogue on first open with the new beta. Your previous control scheme will be saved off, but please note that some custom key binds may be lost.

New items in this update include: Japanese and Australian-accented English voiceovers for those units, added AI capability to use jammers offensively, and several new units and scenery objects have been included. Please see the changelog for detailed notes.
