• Dev Mode
  • General
    • We fixed a crash that could happen when reloading assets.
  • In the Project Editor:
    • We now prevent generated airport package names from containing illegal characters.
    • We’re making some changes on the different wizards, in order to define the package’s name after the definition of the assets (ie: after choosing an ICAO for an airport).
  • In the Scenery Editor:
    • We fixed a crash that could happen when reloading jetways.
    • We removed the ghost objects that could remain after loading a project.
  • In the FX Editor:
    • We fixed the focus that would reset when editing a node in the nodegraph.
    • We fixed a crash when opening Items Tree without having selected an node in the nodegraph.

    • We now expose the particles’ color.
