Linux Air Combat Version 7.90 released Oct2019

Changes in the late October 2019 version (Lac07p90) include:

This version adjusts and improves flight models and other competitive aspects of online combat. Accordingly, this is a REQUIRED update.
Players using older versions will be constantly alerted of the need to
upgrade whenever a player using THIS version enters their mission.

Terrain geometry proportions have been changed to enhance the
perception of high speed flight past terrain features. Now, especially
when flying fast and low, the visual perception of speed is much more
dramatic.

The logic that regulates the maximum climb rate of all aircraft at extreme altitudes has been improved.

The "Map Mode" shows a wider view of the terrain, allowing a better, more sweeping overview.

The flight parameters of all aircraft have been given a final
"tweaking" to bring top speeds and climb rates into very accurate
alignment with the best available flight test data from historic
records. Performance from sea level on up to about 15,000 feet is now
generally within 1% of the best available data. At higher altitudes,
accuracy diminishes somewhat, but it remains respectable. Roll rates,
zoom climb performance, turning rates, lethality, and durability have
also been tuned to yield more accurate relative performance and to
better match available historic and anecdotal information. This is the
most accurate version of LAC ever.

Bomb loads of the Lancaster and B29 were adjusted to better match historic loadouts used in combat.

The Norden Bombsight is now a little more accurate across a wider range of drop speeds.

Airfield anti-aircraft guns now reach a maximum altitude of 10,000 feet instead of 15,000 feet.

Bomber auto-gunners are now slightly less accurate versus nearby opponents that are flying at very high speed.
