Peter Lürkens 30 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Hello friends of virtual soaring! I'm glad to announce that CumulusX! 1.9 is on final approach. Manuals are ready and beta testing is ongoing. The main new features are: Precipitation effects: Thermal presence is now affected by rain, drizzle, or snow. Aircraft will have exta sink depending on strength of rainBetter compatibility with FSRECORDER: Disable lift maintains now all visuals of thermal situation but leaves control entirely to FSRECORDER so smoothness problems and side effects as ground-wash in mid-air are goneSmoothness of lift in ground proximity has been improvedBetter model for thermals in proximity of slopes or summits And in licensed mode (or in the demo area):Smooth cloud shadowsBirds in thermals everywhere (or only in blue thermals, or only the strong ones, or both)A wing-levelling helper on start-roll of SmartTow The picture below shows a comparison of the previous cloud shadows and the new fuzzy shadows: This is a shot of an encounter with birds: I expect that the release will still be before Christmas, best regards, Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
