A new version of the Targetware software, 0.57, is available for download and online play. The servers have been updated to 0.57, and new datapacks are available for TR and TK. Among the new features in 0.57:
- Autopilot. 2 modes, full auto, and wings-leveler
- Many optimizations, it will run faster on most systems
- 3D clouds
There are many other new features, and LOTS of bug fixes, check the list below if interested.
Oh, yeah, one more new thing...
Targetware General Aviation Mod
This is a test mod with a Cessna 172 and a Sukhoi-31 Acrobatics plane. So if you want to compare a stable aircraft to an unstable aircraft, this mod might be of interest to you. No guns, so there is no online server, but any player could host a multiplayer session if desired. You can download it via the in-game Download Mods feature (it will also be available soon for browser-download).
Downloads
