I play a lot of retro games. I'm spoiled by the fact that you just install a game and play. For the next generation of gamers, this is becoming increasingly untrue with even singleplayer games like The Crew being rendered inoperable due to mandatory server-side connections.

See the full changelog on Steam:
It essentially mirrors the plane's, same as the HUD, but it needs to "remember" what units to use if you look at something after the player dies. This has the unfortunate downside that before the player spawns, you can't know what units to use, so it just defaults to Imperial in that case.

While working on it, I remembered why I didn't do this earlier. The info bar at the bottom is totally unrelated and unaware of the player, so for technical and design reasons I had to make a call on what the "authentic" setting should do.

The F-14 has been handy in testing out the selectable HUD units, because the work has involved touching code for how the DLZ, Radar, and Threat Warning Display show their numbers. The long range gives me a lot of numbers to work with.

The last time I updated TCA's Unity versions (and it was between LTS versions too!) it broke a load bearing bug with regards to the LineRenderer that the bullets used for tracers and it ended with bullets getting a decent refactor to get them working again.

The scene is called "HangarMode" so it's probably what would have happened when you press that Hangar button. I don't think it was ever functional, because I have no screenshots or video of it. At the time, TCA was going to have turn based metagame thing, that I wasn't able to get working well.
