Hello everybody! I've released a major update that introduce a new way to approach missions. Now you can play in an auto-combat mode, where pilots will perform the combat completely automatically, without you having to act in the mini-games (Of course, the manual mode will always be present). At the beginning of each mission, you now have two buttons to choose how to approach the mission. Besides, throughout the day, you'll also be able to choose to do some missions in manual mode and others in automatic mode.

What changes during the mission?

The action icons will still appear, but they will no longer be clickable. To their right will be shown an animation of what your pilot is doing. Obviously each animation is different depending on the type of action.
Keep in mind, however, that you'll have less control and less information. The manual mode is the one that gives you the best chance of mission success because you can take direct action. All bonuses from skills bought in HQ will also be applied in automatic mode. So for example with the skill "Strong arm" your pilots will have more chance to hit the target.

Additional improvement

I added a switch in the squadron choice menu to refuel aircraft before a mission. I noticed that the square button was not very clear, couldn't tell if it was clickable or not. With the slider switch now it should be easier to immediately identify which aircraft need assistance.
(A very special thanks to the streamer Ziekke for spotting me the problem)

Other

Added in the Options menu the link for leaving a feedback. (Data will be collected anonimously).

macOS build

Finally is here! Now you can play Until the Last Plane on your macOS. If you encounter any issue, please report it in the section on the forum. The game is designed for working better on 16:9 monitors, so there will be two black bars on Mac models with 16:10 monitors.
