SimplePlanes 1.12.118.0

о... наконец увидел прогу, в которой путену мультосы бубенят

Go ahead and give it a try, because SimplePlanes VR is now available to buy with a %20 launch discount! Experience the expanded freedom of SimplePlanes as you fly all the crafts again for the first time, in VR.

SimplePlanes VR is a standalone version of SimplePlanes, which allows you to fly all the crafts/levels/challenges/etc that are available in SimplePlanes, but enhanced by the incredible immersion provided by VR, along with and all the functionality added to SimplePlanes in updates 1.11 and 1.12. We focused on making flying in VR as polished as we could, so SimplePlanes VR does not include the aircraft builder that SimplePlanes has. There are some other differences you should know about. Check the SimplePlanes VR store page out for more info.

Some key info regarding SimplePlanes vs SimplePlanes VR
SimplePlanes VR will have a launch discount for a limited time.
Once logged in, you have access to fly the same craft in both games.
SimplePlanes includes an aircraft builder, SimplePlanes VR does not.
Except for those which require building; all challenges, islands, locations, aircraft, etc. are available in both games.
Buying them both on Steam will automatically enable VR in SimplePlanes. After VR is enabled in SimplePlanes you can do everything there, without switching games.

The latest updates (v1.11 and v1.12) have prepared for this moment by adding tons of new features/parts with content for everyone (VR and non-VR).

We hope you enjoy updates v.1.11 and v1.12 for SimplePlanes, and we also hope you check out SimplePlanes VR, which is now available!

Some of you have noticed that a small update has been released.

Why are we releasing such a small update?

I'm sure a lot of you may have noticed emails from a bunch of companies with updated privacy policies in response to GDPR[en.wikipedia.org]. We have been doing preparation ourselves and decided to ease the burden by removing non-essential third-party libraries from SimplePlanes, giving us less to worry about. This includes the Facebook SDK, Unity Analytics, and Everyplay (since it was discontinued by Unity).

We also removed the ability to register from within the game and now redirect to the website to centrally locate account creation.

We didn't want to make it totally feature-less though, so Andrew included a few XML modding related items that advanced modders have been asking for.

I know it may be disappointing to see an update come down the pipe with so few features, but rest assured that we will resume working on 1.8 later this year as we've previously discussed.

Official 1.7.1.0 release notes:
Removed Everyplay. Unfortunately, Everyplay is shutting their services down, so we had to remove it.
Removed in-game registration. Registration must now be done through SimplePlanes.com.
Added dragScale, calculateDrag, and diffuseInertiaTensors XML attributes

Reduced the distance that a piston snaps to its target position, so it's less jarring when looking closely.

Fixed an issue with rotators failing to find a joint after being mirrored. It's still not perfect, but much improved.
The tire squeal no longer plays at the camera.

XML Modding
Ability to invert input from XML by placing a minus sign in front of the input
Updated the boolean type inputs for input controllers to return -1 or 1 rather than 0 or 1. This allows the use of the input controllers min/max values to be used in conjunction with the boolean input types.

Add Support for input="Activate1" (that’s AG1) on InputControllers

Added "invertType" option to the InputController. Defaults to "axis" for most parts and to "output" for rotators.
XML support for scaling bullets (now set with "bulletScale", not the part's scale - old planes auto-upgraded).
XML support for disabling gun muzzle flash ("muzzleFlash" - true/false)
