A new setting has also been added that disables distant shadows completely. Doing so may improve performance, especially on PCs with older graphics cards.
One of the new airplanes introduced in this update is not only armed to the teeth with the R-27 family of medium-range missiles, but also has enough speed to break the sonic barrier!
A new sky system featuring moon phases and stars has also been implemented. This will affect the lighting conditions of a map depending on the date and location set by the player.
