Changelog

Version 1.8.2

Features:

Full Italian translation. Thanks, cfs3creative.
5 new desert buildings that are used in Instant Action.

Bug Fixes:

Fixed a bug with PSP d-pad flight control. Movement of the joystick nub would cause d-pad flight to stop, as if a button was released. There is now an option in the Options menu that allows flight to be controlled by either the joystick or d-pad (PSP only).
Fixed an iOS menu bug where going Options -> Controls would fail to open the Controls menu and result in the player being stuck in a menu-less menu screen.
Fixed bug where, when exiting the tutorial mission with the HUD indicator still in use, leaving and starting a different mission would continue to display the HUD indicator in that mission.
The French translation of the tutorial mission is now working.

Miscellaneous:

Added basic localytics statistics gathering for iOS devices (http://www.localytics.com/). Basic statistics are collated only on startup and not during play.

Version 1.8.1

Bug Fixes:

Fixed bug where credits were being awarded to the player during the main menu battle.
Fixed crash when trying to end a mission (PSP).

Version 1.8.0

Features:

Full French translation.
Partial translation into Italian.
Really bad partial translation into Spanish (PSP only).

Bug Fixes:

Potential fix to the freeze/crash caused after the PSP virtual key pad (OSK) is used.
Reduced the unit count in the main menu background battle to help reduce lag (PSP).

Improvements:

Added an explosion when a helicopter crashes into the ground.

Credits

Special thanks goes to programmer who ported SDL to the PSP, and made the PSPGL library (http://goop.org/psp/gl).

-Note from developer:
+==Controls==
-There is a different control scheme available in the options menu, where triggers can be used to rotate. If using this alternate scheme, a flying hint is to primarily use the joystick to move forward and back and rotate with the triggers. Leave the D-Pad alone.
