0.9.5.8 “COCKPIT/CONTENDER" UPDATE — ADDED COCKPIT SUPPORT, NEW FIGHTERS, MULTIPLAYER IMPROVEMENTS

Nothing quite shocks the senses like the chilly winds and intense air-battles of 1940s southeast Asia. Today’s summery FTSOC Steam update not only improves multiplayer features, but also retrofits cockpit view/support, starting with a functional inside rendition of the RAF's tropical Spitfire Mk. V. Furthermore, a pair of new fighters have been made available namely the Allied P-47D “Thunderbolt” and the Japanese Ki-44 Shoki "Toji", each with a decent selection of skins and over-the-radio voice shouts in American, Chinese, Russian and Japanese languages.

Added support for cockpit view. Just getting started on fighter interiors. Buckle up in the Spitfire Mk. V fighter in the Multiplayer, Dogfight or Free Flight modes (press "V" to cycle cameras/cockpit).
Online features improved. Collapsed multiplayer JOIN/HOST menus for better overview and accessibility, improved lobby/match views, added Steam invites (via lobby and pause screens), Leaderboards readily accessible, Steam profile avatars used for both multiplayer games and match stats, adjusted formatting/layout to make native chat more pleasant (use RETURN/ENTER to toggle chat).
Multiplayer modes. Flying below 200 ft partially hides you allowing for interesting escapes and sudden "jumps" on opponents. Player health for all multiplayer modes now displayed in the match stats/overview.
Visuals. Improved scene rendering for increased shadow and tree stability on (resulting in a less distractive landscape view).
Just for fun. Implemented real-time "documentary" color modes; sepia, black & white and vintage filters (available via the DISPLAY SETTINGS menu).
Two new fighter aircraft. P-47D “Thunderbolt” and Ki-44 Shōki “Toji” fighters with multiple skins and voice shouts.

Enjoy your weekend,

Ace Maddox

Highly suggest that localization the disply language to the simplified Chinese also Traditional Chines! As a Chinese, I think I can handle those English but honestly not every Chinese can read that. So I hope this relpy can get you guys some attation.

However there is a very less number of video game use this part history as the background. I very enjoy this game! Hope you guys can accept this suggestion and make it out!

Thank you very much !~

Voices have stopped working for some reason. No radio talk at the start of a mission.
