0.9.5.8 “COCKPIT/CONTENDER" UPDATE — ADDED COCKPIT SUPPORT, NEW FIGHTERS, MULTIPLAYER IMPROVEMENTS

23 June - StrontiumCop

Nothing quite shocks the senses like the chilly winds and intense air-battles of 1940s southeast Asia. Today’s summery FTSOC Steam update not only improves multiplayer features, but also retrofits cockpit view/support, starting with a functional inside rendition of the RAF's tropical Spitfire Mk. V. Furthermore, a pair of new fighters have been made available namely the Allied P-47D “Thunderbolt” and the Japanese Ki-44 Shoki "Toji", each with a decent selection of skins and over-the-radio voice shouts in American, Chinese, Russian and Japanese languages.

Added support for cockpit view. Just getting started on fighter interiors. Buckle up in the Spitfire Mk. V fighter in the Multiplayer, Dogfight or Free Flight modes (press "V" to cycle cameras/cockpit).
Online features improved. Collapsed multiplayer JOIN/HOST menus for better overview and accessibility, improved lobby/match views, added Steam invites (via lobby and pause screens), Leaderboards readily accessible, Steam profile avatars used for both multiplayer games and match stats, adjusted formatting/layout to make native chat more pleasant (use RETURN/ENTER to toggle chat).
Multiplayer modes. Flying below 200 ft partially hides you allowing for interesting escapes and sudden "jumps" on opponents. Player health for all multiplayer modes now displayed in the match stats/overview.
Visuals. Improved scene rendering for increased shadow and tree stability on (resulting in a less distractive landscape view).
Just for fun. Implemented real-time "documentary" color modes; sepia, black & white and vintage filters (available via the DISPLAY SETTINGS menu).
Two new fighter aircraft. P-47D “Thunderbolt” and Ki-44 Shōki “Toji” fighters with multiple skins and voice shouts.

Enjoy your weekend,

Ace Maddox
