Actually, the files not yet available on site, but will be uploaded in few days. So, be wait little.
As always, I thank all users who sent me bug reports and comments for the test version. I really appreciate your help!
The major update (other than bug fixes) are as follows:
- Scenery and mission can have changeable weather settings.
- No more special DAT files for ground object ships or cars. Now DAT file structure include variables for all types of vehicles (older addons steal work well, but try rewrite them to new specification)
- Now any vehicle can be carrier and have decks if yo add string with path to ACP-file (also possible more than one deck).
- Added sun in the sky at day and stars with moon at night
- Added for helicopter autopilot all functions presented in aircraft autopilot
- Added many new CLA, for example now you can make separate doors on aircraft: carrier door, bomb bay door, etc.
- Added "pilot.dnm" for LST structure, that can be used for pilot eject from aircraft. For details I will say later.
- Added partly damaging using step-by-step disabling SRF parts from DNM
- Added new category in DAT-files for special purpose:- Add new GNDCLASS according to new category variables:
- ONGROUND - use it for creating all types of non-flying vehicles
- ONWATER - use it for creating all types of boats, that can move only on water area, and will explose if touch sea border
- BUILDING - use it for all types mostly not movable ground objects
- Add new AIRCLASS types:
- ILS, VASI, NDB, PAPI_LEFT, PAPI_RIGHT, TOWER, TRACKER - use it only with CATEGORY BUILDING for special navigational objects
