v1.0
v1.0 — Full Release
February 2026
NEW Radio chatter system — AWACS and wingman callouts: kill confirmations, damage warnings, bingo fuel, weather advisories, takeoff clearance, RTB acknowledgment
NEW Kill combo system — rapid kills within 5s build streaks: DOUBLE KILL → TRIPLE → QUAD → RAMPAGE → UNSTOPPABLE → GODLIKE. Best streak shown in mission results
NEW Visual damage model — smoke trail when HP < 60%, black smoke + fire particles when HP < 30%. Damage is visible from any angle
NEW Dynamic weather — missions cycle through clear, overcast, rain, and storms. Rain particles fall around the aircraft. Storms bring heavy turbulence and reduced visibility
NEW Afterburner flame effects — visible engine exhaust cones that scale with throttle, flicker dynamically, and shift color at max power. Twin-engine and single-engine variants
NEW Weather fog system — visibility dynamically adjusts: 5000m clear → 1500m rain → 800m storm
NEW Ace callout — special radio message on your 5th kill
CHANGE Mission results now show best kill streak and weather conditions
v0.9.4 — Lock & Engage
February 2026
CHANGE Missiles require facing target — must point nose within ~60° cone to fire. No more rear shots
CHANGE Lock tone only beeps when facing AND in range. HUD shows "FACE TARGET" when not aligned
CHANGE Enemies spawn in intercept mode — no more lazy patrol before engaging
CHANGE Instant behavior transitions — enemies attack on sight with zero delay, no timer gates
CHANGE Enemies fire missiles during intercept approach (dot > 0.7, 4s cooldown)
CHANGE Intercept turn rate 100% (was 60%), attack pitch tracking 50% faster
CHANGE Detection range: attack 4500m, intercept 7000m. Patrol always turns toward player
v0.9.3 — Realistic Aircraft
February 2026
NEW 39 unique aircraft models — each with accurate silhouette matching real-world design
NEW 7 wing planforms: delta, cranked arrow, diamond/trapezoidal, swept, forward-swept, ogival, straight
NEW 7 intake types: chin (F-16), side box (F-15), DSI bump (F-35), cheek (Mirage), under-body (Su-27), flush (6th gen), nose cone (MiG-21)
NEW 5 tail configs: twin vertical, twin canted, butterfly/V-tail, single fin, tailless flying wing
NEW Per-aircraft features: bubble canopy, tandem cockpit, UCAV sensor dome, conformal fuel tanks, 2D flat nozzles, DSI bumps, canards, forward-swept wings
NEW Shaped wing geometry via ExtrudeGeometry — delta triangles, cranked arrows, diamond trapezoids instead of plain boxes
v0.9.2 — Combat Balance
February 2026
FIX Enemy guns now fire in ALL states — attack, intercept, and patrol. Much wider firing cone (53°)
FIX Fixed stealth penalty making gun fire impossible (0.75+0.4=1.15 > max dot of 1.0)
FIX Enemy bullets faster (450 vs 400), longer range (1800m vs 1400m), bigger tracers
CHANGE Enemy missiles = instant kill. Shield absorbs one hit. Flares are your best friend
CHANGE Player missiles still one-hit-kill all enemies
NEW 3D flyby scene on main menu — formation of jets with cinematic camera angles
v0.9.1 — Tutorial & Controls
CHANGE Tutorial expanded 8 → 16 steps: afterburner, brake, cruise, FPV, lights, flare defense, G-force
CHANGE RTB landing guidance — 3-phase coaching (distance → approach → touchdown)
CHANGE Mobile-adaptive tutorial — touch button hints, auto-advance for keyboard-only features
FIX A/D key steering inverted — fixed taxi, rudder, and manual yaw
FIX Click-to-start engine (no more 3-second wait)
FIX G-force meter repositioned — no longer blocked by radar
FIX Vapor trails reduced — max mid-wing span, no vapor above 60° pitch
v0.9 — Combat Overhaul
NEW Enemy missiles — bandits fire homing missiles at you (1-5 per enemy, scales with difficulty)
NEW Missile Warning System — ⚠ MISSILE ⚠ alert with direction & distance (rear/sides only)
NEW Enemy AI overhaul — burst fire guns, evasive maneuvers, faster turn rates on harder missions
NEW Enemy flare/chaff defense — enemies deploy flares & break-turn when your missiles approach
CHANGE Enemy missile speed scales with mission level — ace missions = faster missiles
CHANGE Target HUD now shows enemy MSL & FLR count
v0.8 — Aircraft Systems
