bomber 's attrack does not work well
air con's Guard and Recovery does not work well,else

the important

ctrl+shift,hmm,demo 's Creative,is good,just added it,too
i just Used to ctrl+G to choose all Marine units
and ctrl+P choose Air Force
maybe added a tool to create onwer Shortcuts?

Towards building,it was great ,too,There should is a choice for Factory

we didn't implement all shortcuts yet, but this will be done

thanks for reporting those bugs, I'll add them in our track.

About building rotation. It could be done with Ctrl+Mouse_Wheel, or it is already done in current version?

About air units - there are still many things to improve, because land/sea units have higher priority for us at current development stage, than air units (air units have more complicated path following code). But we`ll get to them eventually

now air units use a very simple algorithm to follow paths

, it's even easier to find a path for flying units : go straight forward !!

what is difficult is handling the landing/take off events, I've done some modifications on this recently and it seems I added side effect bugs

hmm,more bug but new bug is smaller

i just show my friends ta3d,but ,hmm,just a litter man can work in ta3d,the other,u know,they want but their Capability not enough.

Most of the friends just love TA,and want a really TA3D,not the spring

I think that AIR units moving algorythms are really much more difficult, than land ones. Planes have differ turn radius, different behaviour when attacking (compare bomber and brawler/rapier attack) and takeoff/land behavoiur. Current planes are faaar from their TA analogues.

P.S. Well, there are many things that people can do, without knowing of programming languages or so. For example - do testing, or advertising.
Here you can find all the things, that can be done to help the project:

We're also looking for people who could create content to replace TA's models, sprites etc ... with HD 3D models
