changedLaunch Physics ImprovementsThe flight dynamics calculation during launch has been changed from a rotating reference frame to numerical integration in an inertial reference frame. By giving the spacecraft the launch site's rotational velocity as its initial velocity at liftoff, the Coriolis effect and the delta-v bonus from eastward launches are now naturally reproduced through the physics simulation.
addedLaunch Physics ImprovementsIn addition, the vehicle's center of mass is now calculated, and the vehicle rotates when the thrust vector is offset from the center of mass (thrust torque physics). Along with this, roll control during launch has been added and tuned.
changedDisplay & Control ImprovementsImproved how the trajectory is drawn during launch
changedDisplay & Control ImprovementsChanged SAS attitude control during time acceleration (×10 or higher) to an instant method, improving tracking of the target direction
changedDisplay & Control ImprovementsImproved the behavior of the HORIZONTAL button. It now automatically disengages once the spacecraft reaches a level attitude.
