All releases of Thunder&Lightning
Release Notes: This bugfix release is meant to solve the dependency problems many users had with the 071031 release. Additionally, performance has been significally enhanced by implementing scripting functionality in C++.
Release Notes: This release includes a graphical user interface (CEGUI) so that the user can select which mission to start. Basic settings and control mappings are now graphically configurable from inside the game. A nice and shiny new radar screen gives tactical information.
Release Notes: New MFD modes were added: a target view that displays a camera image of and distance to the currently selected target and a missile view delivering some spectacular sights. Decoy flares distract incoming missiles from their target. Tanks and the carrier turret fire much more precisely now and have become really dangerous to aircraft. Some new graphics, performance enhancements, and bugfixes were made, including one in the pixel shader responsible for water rendering that caused ugly artefacts on NVidia hardware.
Release Notes: This release mainly fixes a problem with a missing dependency on libedit.
Release Notes: An aircraft carrier was added, which serves as take-off and landing platform for the Lightning aircraft, and is capable of self-defense with a deck turret. A GLSL shader renders realistically reflecting water waves on machines with hardware shader support. A Lightning cockpit with multi function display was added (but currently only shows a magnifying view). Lots of work was done on the AI. Lots of bugs were fixed. Desktop integration was improved to allow you to start TnL with a click on an icon. A new installation method, autopackage, was added.
Release Notes: This release provides major enhancements with regard to playability and stability. A tutorial mission guides novice pilots through their first flights. It's now possible to switch to a free-moving observer mode, even while the game is paused. Lots of time has been put into fixing bugs, resulting in much smoother gameplay.
Release Notes: This release features smoothly chasing views, which bring a lot of fun and dynamic into the game. A missile warning will now alert you of incoming missiles, so you have a chance to evade. Performance enhancements make the game much more playable.
Release Notes: This release greatly improves stability and landscape rendering on the Windows platform.
Release Notes: This release fixes some bugs and uses a recent version of the Io scripting language.
