Version 6.16
OK 6.16 is here! New stuff:
-
Critical naming convention change! The custom ENGINE sounds should now
be named "acf_name eng1", "acf_name eng2", etc. This is so you can have
many DIFFERENT custom engines on your planes if you do a custom B-36, autogyro,
or similar.
-
Visible slats, just like with the speedbrakes! (as requested)
-
View left and up and right and up for the turn to final in a VFR pattern.
See the view menu. Kind of nice.
-
Auto-brakes are now only 75% effort (more like what is normally used in
practice, not 100% like before) and ABS (like in reality, will not lock
your tires)
-
Manuevering are rockets now available to push your craft in ANY direction...
check them out in the VTOL screen in plane-maker beside the puffers...
VERY FUN!!!
-
Tack them onto a plane as retro rockets to slow down or even "jump-boosters"
to pop you up into the air like a JATO... great fun to experiment with
for VTOL research!
-
These rockets were originally designed to manuever spacecraft in orbit,
but the retro-rocket and "vertical boost" applications are very cool to
play with!
