Summary
Aircraft Improvements
This update introduces a new tactical map feature allowing pilots to link specific munitions to aiming points via a right-click context menu. It also corrects the logic for the aiming point mechanic, ensuring it is available based on an aircraft's inherent capabilities rather than just its current loadout. Significant flight model corrections were applied to the J-10 series to prevent structural failure during maneuvers.
Interface & Graphics
Several technical fixes address UI scaling issues with the chat window and tactical map zoom. Graphical updates resolve an issue with dark scene illumination caused by outdated sky data and flickering shadows in Naval Battles.
