V 0.518

We have released a minor update with a few tweaks, which we think are important to test before the demo period is over.

  1. The throttle in the F4F-4 now has a detent at 95%. Reaching the detent equals full power without WEP. Pushing past it activates WEP. On the F4F-4, the WEP is not supposed to be activated with the push of a button or another mechanism.

  2. When launching in VR with the OpenXR toolkit or NeckSafer active, a warning message will now show to prompt the player not to use such incompatible softwares.

  3. ‘Ignore Manual Cockpit Camera Controls When Head Tracking Is Active’ is now ‘On’ by default. This means, that when you have TrackIR/OpenTrack/etc, the mouse will no longer combine with your head movement.

  4. World space cursor option has been added for clickable cockpits. This option, when turned on, will NO longer move your clickable-cockpit cursor along with your camera, instead, it will remain in the same spot.

  5. Varjo headset compatibility solution has been added (to be tested!).

Update size: 80MB.

Happy flying, enjoy the weekend. The demo will remain active until monday 10am PST / 7pm CET.
