This version fixes the interface between Linux Air Combat and the Steam Deck's version of "Mumble" for voice comms. Because the Steam Deck's version of Mumble is sandboxed inside a "Flatpak", LAC could not automatically manage mumble in prior versions. With those prior versions, Steam Deck users were forced to activate mumble and manually switch it to the channel for the anticipated mission before starting LAC.
With this new version, LAC automatically finds and uses Steam Deck Flatpak mumble, integrating it into LAC's cockpit instruments and switching mumble channels dynamically according to the players choices for realm, mission and team.
