Roadmap

Launch

The launch of Aviassembly went really well. Thank you so much for all the support! It is amazing to see that people are enjoying the game. All the feedback, bug reports and ideas that I received are really useful.

While I try to read all feedback, it has been hard to respond to everyone, my apologies. I'm currently working on patches that should come out next week!

Small patch

I've hopefully resolved the issues the patches from yesterday were having. This patch should fix:

  • Pink terrain bug
  • Build mode crashes
  • Stuck in build mode issue


Please let me know if this patch is causing any issues.

Reverted today's patches

I got some report that today's patches broke build mode for some people. I reverted the patches until I have a better understanding of the issue.

Fixed build mode crash

This patch should fix an issue where build mode will crash when hovering over parts. Let me know if it still occurs.

Fixed pink terrain bug

Fixed a bug where terrain would be completely pink after loading a sandbox save.
