KNOWN ISSUES
- 325a and 310p ships show some white exterior325a and 315p may show an invisible pilot seat315p engine pops in and outSuper Hornet has offset components around rear landing gearUnable to exit back seat of super hornetAccounts can only have a maximum of 2 ammo boxes of each type, which causes the account to not have enough ammunition if a ship is trying to equip more than 2 of the same gunUnable to create custom profiles (currently changes are saved to the existing profiles, which are reset if you re-select the “default” profile)Individual keybindings cannot be set as blank. This means if a player sets a control on accident, it can’t be unbound without resetting the whole profileUnable to fully mix/match custom keybinds across multiple devicesSwapping from one controller profile to another will reset any changes the player has madeThere is no visual feedback for what kinds of inputs are accepted for controls that only accept specific kinds of inputUnable to change power-priority of 350R in power management screenM50 HUD does not display missilesFuel can be consumed when no additional thrust is being generatedIdris’s that spawn in hangar are currently invisible and have no collisionThe M50’s portside wing has misplaced elementsThe starboard side of the M50’s spoiler has an inverted decalThe Constellation Phoenix has collision issues in its rear engine roomThere can sometimes be a brief pause when a player joins a match or respawnsMatchmaker may not account for Track Variant when searching for Murray Cup races via Spectrum Match
