In response to some feedback, I’ve made a couple of minor changes and released the new version here.

The changes are… 

• changed the Maneuver Xbox 360 control back to how it was before.  It’s now the “Left Shoulder” button again.  Which means the Change View button is now the “X” button.
• made the bullets a little smaller. Too chunky before.

One word – Busy… busy, busy, busy. Ok, so I cheated on the word count, but that’s how life’s been lately.  So much has happened since my last post. In work, play & personal life.  I’ll cut to the chase though.  Here’s my latest and greatest release of “Air Legends”.  You can download it from here.

There are major changes in the version. 

• Firstly it’s all converted to XNA 2.0 now, so you’ll need the XNA 2.0 runtime installed (or XNA Game Studio 2.0).
• Added basic Scoring, and stats.  Currently shows Score + accuracy for each player/cpu.
• Added a change View feature (to help you find the enemy). This changes to a view that focuses on you, but keeps
    the other player in view.
• Gave the aircraft different performance characteristics.  The Spitfire has a slightly better rate of turn
    but the BF109 is a little faster. It’s subtle, but should add to the variety.
• Added an Uninstall shortcut to the Start menu folder.
• Fixed cloud culling, so clouds no longer instantly vanish while still in view (as they were prone to do before).
• Improved cloud, smoke and explosion rendering to use proper Billboard styles (always facing the camera).
