Release notes for Update 1.1.

Fleet Battles Ranks

Fixed an issue where players could not be correctly placed in a rank after initial placement matches
- Players who have not started their placement matches will be able to place normally
- Players who have started their placement matches will have their remaining matches use the corrected system
- There will be no rank resets at this time

Controls

Added options in the menu called “Controller Global Deadzone” and “Flight Stick Global Deadzone” which will allow you to modify the deadzone individually for standard controllers and Flight Sticks
Adjusted the default input curves for Flight Sticks, which should make controls feel more responsive

Adjusted some of the visual effects in VR mode, specifically addressing the brightness and bloom when dropping bombs from your Starfighter

Fixed a bug where the Imperial squadron was not visible in some instances during the opening cinematic for Dogfight mode
