From March 19th (17:00 GMT) to March 26th (17:00 GMT), Aces of Thunder is participating in the #Steam Spring #Sale — a 15% discount applies to both the Standard Edition and the Deluxe version. store.steampowered.com/app/2754090/Ac… A great reason to expand your library or upgrade to the enhanced version! See you in the skies!

VR without VR controllers — now available We know how much you’ve been waiting to play in VR without VR controllers. The current implementation works in most scenarios: menu navigation supports mouse and keyboard input, devices compatible with gamepad/controller interfaces (or recognized by the system as such), and hand interactions (as before). We’re aware of some issues and are continuing to improve the display and layout of elements, but we released the functionality early so you can use it right now. Please send your suggestions and bug reports through our reporting service.

Update 0.1.0.24 is live: respawn in the same aircraft (4 max) and see remaining respawns in online matches. Extras now shows client version, QR codes added for support/bug reports, and Test Flight can be paused. Fixes: Firefly FR Mk V camos, Bf 110 G-2 target tally, rare no-respawn bug. #AcesOfThunder #patchnotes

The vehicles from the Deluxe Edition can now be purchased separately. The Deluxe Edition bundle remains the best-value offer, but for those who prefer individual purchases, five legends are available: F4U-4, Hurricane Mk IV, SBD-3, P-40E-1, and Spitfire Mk Ia. store.steampowered.com/dlc/2754090/Ac…

Patch is live: fixed UI becoming unresponsive after loading into battle and planes sliding off moving carriers. Custom TDM with “Country selection: By mission” now uses historically accurate nations. [Operation] Berlin is in Random Battles (USSR/USA/Britain vs Germany) to speed up queues. #AcesOfThunder #PatchNotes

This article briefly covers ammo types, the benefits of “Stealth” belts, and effective setups for the P-47D-22-RE, Bf 110 G-2, Yak-3, and other aircraft. acesofthunder.net/news/29

Pilots of #AcesofThunder craft battle-ready cockpits for #PSVR2. What do you use?

@Gio_Simracer We are still working on improving interaction with the VR interface; stay tuned for updates.

@acesofthunder Is the Hotas 4 in combination with PSVR2 controller looked at? We would want to use the Hotas 4 and PSVR2 without mandatory the need of PSVR2 controllers

Update is live: you can now drag the kneeboard map anywhere in the cockpit. Also fixed Stealth ammo belts in Test Flights, improved menu fonts and leaderboard pages, restored German respawns in [Operation] Berlin, and resolved a Steam Overlay–related crash. acesofthunder.net/news/28 #AcesOfThunder

We’ll soon add the ability to move the map - what do you think about it?

There we go.. much better!

In custom matches, check out the new [Team Deathmatch] mode — four missions for fast-paced aerial duels with no ground targets, pure dogfighting from takeoff to victory. The missions are available on Oahu and Korsun, as well as on two locations debuting in Aces of Thunder — Tunis and Pas-de-Calais. This is your custom battle: configure the number of players, a set of nations available to each team, the number of available respawns, weather and time of day, and fuel and ammunition limits — fight the way you like! We’d love to hear your impressions of the mode and maps: tell us what worked and what you’d like to see improved. Perhaps, it’s worth adding these missions to random battles?

Manual Engine Control in #AcesofThunder means direct control of prop pitch/RPM, radiators, mixture, and the supercharger. You’ll sustain combat power longer without overheating, climb more efficiently, and keep your speed where automation would play it safe. The article offers examples and tips on how not to “kill” your engine. Fly safe and keep those engines cool! acesofthunder.net/news/26

Patch 0.1.0.8 is out: Fixed an issue where, for some players, the game failed to launch and displayed the message “Cannot find precompiled shaders for this videocard…”. #AcesOfThunder #patchnotes

Update 0.1.0.7 is live! #TrackIR and similar device support is restored on PC (Steam). We improved authentication and network reliability, fixed a crash at very low resolutions, also gets several stability fixes. On #PS5 we fixed a freeze in online battles after a disconnect, a crash with the Thrustmaster Farm Stick, and a crash caused by multiple UI reloads due to language file updates.
