v1.502
I've been reported that Hellrot's aircraft didn't appear automatically in the game unless you use the "cheat" in the challenge mode
This update fixes that.
Besides that, now workshop's custom aircraft can be placed in the mission editor without any problem.
And one last change, in this update it also has been fixed what was causing a crash in the J-35D and Mod 4 challenges.
I'll continue to keep an eye for any other issue that may pop up in the workshop, but let me know if you find one yourself.
v1.501
It only contains a few fixes:
-In HUD view camera mode, the weapons are no longer visible, their visibility in this mode was never intended.
-The engine manages more effective if there is a workshop item with tweaked specs, before it worked properly, but in the editor mode it displayed a duplicate entry and used the default weapons.
-And the last issue, fixed the crash when in presence to workshop items that are skins only.
Report 061: Rafale
In this case it was the Rafale B01, the preproduction model of the B variant. The selection of this variant was purely coincidence, during development I honestly didn't have a clear picture of the full evolution of this family.
But since then I've been looking for more information of this family, first, to complete the implementation of this model in game and later to have a complete idea of the whole family.
After gathering all the information I could this is the evolution I believe is the most accurate:
(I recommend you to see it in full screen)
Something to take note, is that this family dost not have much visual variety after production, much like the Mirage F1 all aircraft are very similar. But I can guarantee that all have a unique model.
So the point of this report, is to begin a discussion about this family, I want to know if this representation is fine, and if it is not I would like to hear your reasoning.
To conclude, I'll now post, some references I gathered of the lesser known variants to give a better perspective of the variations in shape:
ACT A
ACT B
ACTC
ACT D2C
ACX Early:
ACX Late:
Rafale FU(But represented as a sigle seater)
Super Rafale:
Rafale D (Or aleast it seems like it)

VECTOR THRUST LAUNCHES OUT OF EARLY ACCESS ON STEAM TODAY
Iceberg Interactive announced today that following a successful development cycle in Steam Early Access, its hotly anticipated combat flight game Vector Thrust is available now on Steam. Developer TimeSymmetry has listened to its community and has implemented many new features, including an uncanny tally of 260 aircraft, 170 challenges, 13-story-vased missions, single- and multiplayer modes, and modding tools. Vector Thrust is a refreshing blast from the past for gamers fond of the popular ‘90s console combat flight games.
“Our community has given us a lot of ideas for things to implement into the game, and we have spent the past 11 months making a game that they will love”, says TimeSymmetry’s design lead Claudio Rodrigues. “I look forward to seeing what everyone thinks of the game and watching the multiplayer and modding aspects of the game take off.”
Vector Thrust Reaches New Heights With The Early Access BETA Launch
Vector Thrust is a blast from the past for those with fond memories of the popular 90’s console flight combat games. Join the fun now and help us perfect the game !
With Beta status, Vector Thrust introduces more features, more aircraft, more weapons and 50 missions. We have spent half a year in alpha but we feel the game is really shaping up nicely and with your help we will be on our way to leave Early Access in Q2-2015.
Having reached Beta status also means the game will now continue Early Access with a $19.99 price tag, on the way to the eventual $ 24,99 price tag.
Major additions from Alpha to Beta:
• 20 new playable aircraft
• Lots of new weapons
• New boss units
• Over 50 new missions
• New visual effects
• Several new maps
