Update notes for 14th April 2023

Greetings pilots! This update brings some much-requested fixes and quality-of-life updates to Fly Dangerous - most notable, native libs for both Linux (and therefore Steam Deck) and Apple Silicon which brings these builds in-line with the Windows version in terms of terrain generation and load times.

Additionally, this build contains a feisty new Sprint map (Twists and Turns), a new flight vector indicator (which has been asked for a LOT) and a heap of bug-fixes and other QoL tweaks.

Have a great weekend!

Patch notes

0.6.1

New

• Added support for threaded terrain generation on Linux / Steam Deck (#108)

• Added new sprint map "Twists and Turns"

• Added global texture quality setting to Options panel - use this for low video memory systems to squeeze the most out of them on terrain worlds! Note this does not affect UI textures / sprites - you will need to be in-game to visually identify this change.

• Added flight vector indicators and associated options toggle (#18)

• Added animated loading spinner to level loader canvas

Changed

• Moved level order around a little to compensate for brick-wall difficulty

• Removed fade to black on level restarts in terrain maps with checkpoints (all necessary terrain is always in memory to prevent stutters for time-sensitive game modes so this was never necessary in anything but free roam) (#166)

• Moved some options into new Gameplay options tab

• Updated HUD elements to be white with new font

• Updated Mirror Networking to v78.3.0

• Updated Steamworks SDK to v1.53 via updated Steamworks.NET

• Updated to Unity 2022.2.13f1

Fixed

• Support for Apple Silicon should now actually work... (#108)

• No longer possible to get the leaderboard into a weird state by restarting just before collision with final checkpoint (#166)

• Modifying dev settings and resetting to default no longer permanently invalidates runs (#216)

• Mouse return to center (both input bind and on level restart) now applies to relative mouse mode (#215)

• Quitting to Lobby in Multiplayer now ... uhm, quits to the lobby (#217)

• Target indicators in HUD are no longer fixed to head rotation in VR (fixed to ship rotation instead)

• 3d target indicators no longer jitter with floating origin
