A flexible and useful aircraft modelling system and flight simulation.

Whats new in version 2017.2.1:
Aircraft Modeling:
• All glider models have now Total Energy compensated variometers. Environment Rendering:
• Sea color is more realistic, using a a global sea map is used to render shallow ocean a different color.
• Improved random building textures
• Atmospheric Light Scattering (ALS) improvements including
• significant work on a more natural appearance of a low haze or fog layer which includes now altitude variations
• atmosphere rendering beyond the lowest fog layer takes now actual aloft visibility into account, leading to a blurred horizon
• the horizon line is now rendered with angular variations, simulating different vertical extent of air layers far away in the atmosphere
• the wake shader rendering the waves generated by a ship has been ported to ALS Performance:
• Terrain loading times improved by deferring loading of objects within scenery. Usability:
• Tab key is used to cycle mouse modes: aircraft control, view control, idle
• TerraSync is pre-configured and works as is without user con...
