1.4.6 Introduces some much requested improvements and fixes. Enjoy!

[h2]Changelist[/h2]

• Reintroduced optional camera noise (press C), this effect is slightly different from before.
  
• Added: A.I. data for races in the Short Circuit, Hangar C03, The Woodpecker and Liftoff Arena.
  
• Added: all-time best leaderboards for official races. You can view these in the leaderboards section as well as the top 3 coming by in the multiplayer room.
  
• Updated: when crashing or resetting during a tournament tryout, the score screen is now shown instead of going back to the tournaments selection screen again. The score screen now allows to directly do another tryout.
  
• Updated: leaderboards should load a lot faster than before.
  
• Updated: displaying a large leaderboard now allows to load chunks of scores in batches of 250 entries.
  
• Updated: Steam Workshop sharing panel to only allow to share content when the Steam Workshop EULA has been accepted.
  
• Fixed: drone setups with no blueprint saved in the file would make Liftoff hang in a loading screen.
  
• Fixed: a player could join and start a multiplayer game without having all necessary content loaded.
  
• Fixed: steam player information not always caching correctly.
  
• Fixed: issue with showing an error while signing up for a Liftoff Pro account, even though registration succeeded.
  
• Optimised: disk and memory usage of certain track items, potentially loading certain tracks faster on older hard drives.
  

Special lantern festivals are held all over the world, at different times and for different reasons. Some have floating lanterns, others have them flying, in our very own homage to these beautiful events we have them doing both! Go explore these time limited lighbaring landscapes in our 2 week in-game festival.

A picture is worth a 1000 words and so is this in-game event. No special features, no achievements, no XP points, simply beauty to discover... or as our artist Vincent prophetically proclaimed "Here's some floaty stuff you can chase". Enjoy!

What better way to celebrate spring than with a good old Easter egg hunt!

Find all easter eggs in a single environment during the Easter event and unlock the "Easter Egg Hunting" achievement. Have an egg-cellent hunt!

From now on, learning to fly in a simulator won't only save you money, it will make us money too!
