This isn't quite like Fly!'s 3d clouds, but it's a nice start and barely impacts frame rates. <li>Default to Christian Mayer's new weather system. As the weather database system develops we should be able to incorporate sophisticated weather modeling into the simulator. <li>Added routines to do screen printing (win32) contributed by Mark Vallevand. <li>Added routines to do screen shots to ppm graphics file (all platforms) contributed Rich Kaszeta. <li>Added a magic carpet (aka slew) mode. <li>Added a hot air balloon simulator mode. (alpha) <li>Added a simple (direct lincage) autocoordation feature. <li>Added a mode to control view (side to side and up and down) with the mouse. <li>Fixed a DEM decoding problem which caused most of the terrain to be 256 meter too high (and regenerated the world scenery with proper elevations.) <li>Updates to JSBsim (our future generic flight modeling module.) <li>Added support for a pilot view offset from the center of gravity. <li>Various platform portability fixes. <li>Updated time-offset/syncing command line options. <li>Updated the FDM <==> Flight Gear interface to be more object oriented. This should hopefully pave the way for being able to simulate several concurrent entities. <li>Removed unimplemented menu entries. <li>Various scenery tools changes and enhancements in preparation for adding runways (hopefully for the next release.) </ul> | Flight Gear Flight Sim 0.7.1 | updated | |
