Version 1.3.2

1.3.2 Update

Features

• Upgrades for the Juno System
  
  
  
  • Added Oord, moon of Sergeaa. A proto-Earth covered in craters, with liquid water in its equator and rings, orbiting the Juno-Sergeaa L2 and thus being in a constant partial eclipse
  
  
  • Improved the ground detail in Sergeaa, giving textures to some areas that had been left smooth
  
  
  • Detected a strange anomaly approaching the system
  
  
• Overhauled the skybox
  
  
  
  • Redesigned the skybox to be more realistic and detailed, while being more vibrant
  
  
  • Rounded the stars, no more squares! And added distant galaxies with red shifting
  
  
  • HDR textures now allow for better looking skies when tweaking the skybox brightness
  
  
  • Added a quality setting to increase the resolution of the skybox on PC
  
  
• Overhauled the image effects
  
  
  
  • Tweaked the color profile to make the game more vibrant
  
  
  • Improved the lens flares caused by the sun
  
  
  • Added image effects to Map View, greatly improving its visual appeal
  
  
• Added MFD Vizzy blocks to draw lines, boxes and triangles in the Texture widget

Tweaks

• Career Mode tweaks
  
  
  
  • Changed how the orbit height requirement is displayed to the player when it has a tolerance to reduce confusion
  
  
  • Added a button to help users manage situations where a payload part goes missing. When a payload is lost, a ! button will show up next to the Payload requirement. If clicked, a dialog will prompt you to search for the missing payload part in your current craft
  
  
  • Made the Contract Tracking auto-fix more forceful to hopefully solve corrupted active SPE contracts
  
  
  • Added support for custom defined planet icons in custom careers, files have to be a 64x64 png named like the planet they represent and stored in Images/PlanetIcons
  
  
• Added an Ultra global preset for the settings on PC, making it easier to crank up the visuals of the game
• Added a property to allow disabling shadow casting per light part, so players have more control when trying to optimize their crafts
• Added a fuel readout in the Drood's inspector panel
• Reduced the mass of the light part substantially to more realistic values
• Various optimizations for the memory garbage collection handling
• Improved texture compression for Android, reducing file sizes and memory usage

Bugs

• Career Mode fixes
  
  
  
  • Fixed a bug that could cause multiple crafts to have the same ContractTrackingId
  
  
  • Fixed a bug that could prevent a payload from being tracked if the player resumed flight or quick loaded before the payload was deployed
  
  
  • Fixed a potential bug that could corrupt the Contract Tracking when splitting a craft
  
  
  • Fixed a bug causing the designer tutorial text of some contracts to break in hybrid
  
  
• Fixed a null ref thrown when attempting to highlight parts out of the physics range
• Fixed a bug causing LUTs to be removed after going through a night vision camera or a docking port camera

1.3.201 Patch

Tweaks

• Increased the intensity of the daytime ambient light on Oord

Bug Fixes

• Updated the stock craft files and payloads so the light part is on the right modifier version, passing validation with no warnings
• Fixed a typo in the text of the draw tri Vizzy block
• Fixed a bug causing the skybox to fallback to the lowest resolution on Planet Studio and when relaunching into flight
• Fixed a bug causing a file reference to be missing from the Oord rings, breaking the system upon trying to load it

1.3.202 Patch

Tweaks

• Reduced the smoothness of the water at slant angles based on how strong the waves texture is, significantly reducing the star reflection artifacts
• Added a field in the planet xml to adjust the music intensity fade based on a funk expression

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug breaking the in flight inspector for the Tourists
• Fixed a bug showing the wrong tolerance in the contract description for orbit requirements
• Ensured triggers don't occlude sunflares, notably the rocket engine damage trigger and the launch FX triggers

1.3.203 Patch

Tweaks

• Hide the atmosphere density numbers in the parachute designer sliders when in ASL mode to prevent player confusion
• Highlight in red the speed threshold of the parachutes in the in flight inspector panel if that is preventing the deployment of the chute to help players diagnose what's happening
• Optimized the speed of the new Vizzy texture drawing blocks
• Adjusted the water reflection values slightly

Bug Fixes

• Another attempt at fixing the black orbit lines in some mobile devices
• Fixed a bug causing the global ultra quality settings from not updating some setting categories

1.3.204 Patch

Tweaks

• Added the exhaust shader to the ModTools
• Added support for going to the tech tree scene from the FlightSceneScript.ExitFlightScene method with mods
• Added the atmosphere scale height to the list of parameters that can be accessed from a planet with Vizzy

Bug Fixes

• Reduced the memory garbage generated by the new texture widget blocks
• Fixed a couple typos in the Oord milestones for the max height and depth
• Lowered the default torque in the offroad wheels so they can pass validation in career and they are lighter and cheaper
• Slightly increased the starting max RPM allowed in the electric motor to prevent the Vortex propeller from not passing validation

1.3.204.1 Patch

The entire focus of this patch is fixing a series of Memory Leaks that we had been chasing for half a decade. Thanks to @1nsanity for helping us finally reliably reproduce and expose them.
