Hello testers! The first public multiplayer test phase is now available on public_testing. So far, you will only be able to run a simple free flight/dogfighting scenario in the F/A-26B with up to 4 vs 4 players. If you would like to participate in the testing, please join us in #public_testing on Discord and opt into the testing branch in the game's properties window on Steam.

If you're new to public_testing please note that things can break quite often when I push out a bunch of new features or changes. Also, mods are not supported on the testing versions.

I will continue to update the public_testing branch as the multiplayer features get added.
Your feedback helps me find all the problems and try to solve them quickly!

Thank you, and I'll see you in the skies!
