Editor

New Features

  • Undo/Redo System. ( Ctrl+Z, Ctrl+Y)

  • Editable Natives itemsexcept for most trees, most native items on the map are now user editable. Delete, duplicate, move or resize any native item. Warning : With great power comes great responsibilities, natives items are often way less plug & play than the items available in the left panel. Don't forget to use Undo for any issue.
  • Groups: Group/ungroup selected items (CTRL+G, ALT+G). Grouped items will "stay together" even when not selected. Re-selecting an item later will select the whole group.

  • Mass Selection Double Click on an item to select all similar items currently in view.

Quality Of Life

  • Ctrl+S to save current track.

  • Contextual Menu: right click on an item for easy access to common actions, such as group/ungroup.

  • SAVE & Fly from the editor, then BACK TO EDITOR for quick fight testing without going back to the main menu. (F2). The undo stack will still be available after flight-testing the map.

  • FPS HUD are now available in the editor. While it does not map 1:1 to in-flight game performance, it's still an easy way to get an idea about performance.

  • Camera Position & Speed are now saved in editor, for each track. Useful when alternating between editor mode and fly mode.

  • Shortcuts are now displayed on most tooltips in the track editor.

Improvements

  • Improved Editor UI : Left & Right panel are now resizable.

  • Search box for the left panel.

  • Huge performance improvements when flying on sceneries with huge amounts of objects (hi, Kéhops FPV !).

  • In-Editor performance improvements on such sceneries.

  • Faster saving time.

  • Removed central control point on gizmo.

Goodies

  • A few new items are available. Check the smoke & fires to have some fun.
