0.6.0

MULTIPLAYER
- Improved movement replication: less drift between the server and the piloting client, and fewer corrections visible to other players.
- Smoothed the corrections that remain, so they no longer step.
- Fixed taxiing stuttering for other players.

GROUND HANDLING
- Reworked nose wheel steering: the turn tightens with speed, steering fades as the nose lightens on the take-off roll, and a standing aircraft no longer pivots on the spot.

WEAPONS
- Improved the R-73's proximity fuze: it goes off a few metres from the target instead of about twenty. Its warhead is still too weak to kill at that range - that is the next job.

FIXES
- Fixed the engine cutting out for clients when the pilot left the cockpit, was killed or disconnected.
- Fixed flight controls staying deflected when nobody is at the stick.
- Fixed engine sound continuing after the engine had stopped.

0.5.0

REARMING
- Loadout can now be changed in game at a support station. Walk up to the fuselage, open "Loadout" and swap what hangs on each pair of stations.
- The aircraft keeps its state across a swap: damage, fuel and the ammunition of the other stations are not reset.
- HUD and the weapon keys rebuild themselves afterwards, so there is no need to leave the cockpit to see the new loadout.
- Works in multiplayer; the server validates every change and charges supplies once.

REPAIR
- Every detachable surface now has its own repair action, named after the part: "Repair Left fin", "Repair Right stabilator" and so on.
- A surface shot off can be re-installed and then tightened up with the wrench, with the standard animation and supply cost.
- Airframe, engines, fuel tanks and avionics are repaired separately, so you walk around the aircraft instead of pressing one button.
- Refuelling and vehicle refund work as well.

FIRE AND DAMAGE
- The aircraft now catches fire from ordinary hits, and a burning aircraft knocks out its own systems at random - engines, battery, control surfaces. It degrades before it dies instead of simply exploding.
- Durability rebalanced. It used to shrug off sixty 25 mm rounds without even burning; it now catches fire at about fifteen direct hits, and an RPG-7 grenade needs two instead of destroying it outright.
- Engines, fuel tanks, battery and control surfaces take damage on their own terms, and a round that passes through a wing no longer counts for as much as a direct hit on the fuselage.

ENGINE EFFECTS
- Nozzle glow, afterburner flame and an air trail behind the aircraft, all driven by engine RPM rather than by throttle position.

FIXES
- Fixed the engine sound never fading for other players: a client who left the aircraft used to hear it running forever.
- Fixed walking into invisible geometry where a shot-off stabilator used to be. The airframe carried a duplicate collider of every detachable part.
- Fixed the airbrake sound not stopping on other machines.
- Fixed the Game Master preview showing the base vehicle instead of the jet.
- Fixed the support station refusing to service the aircraft's pylons.

0.4.0

GUIDED BOMBS
- New weapon: guided bomb on the two outer stations, selected with key 4.
  Lock a point on the ground and release - the bomb corrects its fall onto it.
- Heavy high-explosive warhead: destroys vehicles and brings down buildings.
- Release cue on the HUD: a reach circle drawn on the terrain around the
  predicted point of impact, plus the miss distance in metres.
- Works in multiplayer, including for players watching from the outside.

EXPLOSION
- Custom explosion built for the bomb: blast wave, ejected soil, high-arcing
  debris and a lingering smoke column.
- Dust settles well beyond the lethal radius, so a near miss leaves you in
  the haze rather than untouched.

WEAPON LOADOUT
- The outer pair of stations now carries bombs instead of R-73 missiles.
  One missile station remains.

TARGETING
- Ground point lock is much easier now: it no longer sticks to nearby
  vehicles, and takes a moment instead of a full second to acquire.

FIXES
- Fixed bombs and missiles occasionally failing to detonate on the target.
- Fixed ordnance dropped by a client going ballistic for everyone else.

0.3.0

WEAPONS
- Six weapon stations instead of two: rocket pods inboard and amidships, R-73 missiles outboard.
- Fixed: in multiplayer, guided missiles appeared to fly straight past the target while it exploded anyway. They now track properly on every machine.
- Fixed: missiles flew sideways instead of pointing where they were going.
- The seeker no longer works with the engine shut down, and no longer locks onto infantry or ground vehicles.

SOUND
- The engine is now driven by its actual RPM: the starter cranks, the engine lights up and spools to idle, responds to throttle and winds down after shutdown — all as one continuous sound.
- Added an airbrake rumble that grows with speed and is quieter at altitude.
- Added a seeker tone: hiss while searching, a growl that rises as the lock builds, a steady tone once locked.
- Added click sounds to the MFD buttons.
- Removed a stray car horn inherited from the base vehicle. No honk honk :/

COCKPIT
- Added an amber SB indicator while the airbrake is extended.

DAMAGE
- Fixed: the engine and fuel tanks could be damaged by blasts that missed the aircraft.
