Added tbd_underpark (thanks Mandrad)

Updated tbd_cave

Balance:

Biplane (All Forms) increased turning rate by 1.5% (6.5 -> 6.6)

Biplane (Dogfighter, Recoilless) increased primary weapon ejection velocity (17 -> 19, note: reduced lifetime so that max travel distance is unchanged)

Biplane (Heavy Cannon) slightly increased primary weapon damage (109 -> 112)

Bomber (All Forms) decreased turning rate by 2.9% (7.0 -> 6.8)

Feature Additions:

Mouse Control: press F1 to open the console and type “mouse true” to activate

LAN Servers tab added to server list

Improved “Pilot Certification” tutorial

Export -> Screenshot added to map editor

Hangar Deck -> Community Points now allows you to hover your point total for a points-by-source breakdown

Bots that just spawned and are pursuing a stationary objective powerup (e.g. the ball after a goal was just scored) will fly at half throttle to give non-bot teammates a chance to grab the powerup first

Bug Fixes:

Tightened Miranda teleport collision check to prevent exploits

Fixed bug that would sometimes prevent dunks from scoring (dunk = flying directly into the goal while carrying the ball)

Fixed rare bug that allowed more than one ball to enter play

Fixed team switch bug in 1-life modes

Fixed console auto-completion bug

Fixed rare bug that caused objects near the edge of the screen to flicker

Fixed incorrect badge display on award screen caused by players leaving while the awards are showing

Fixed a bug that prevented nickname changes

Fixed a few miscellaneous bugs
