FlyInside Flight Simulator 0.5.4.0 Patch Notes
Adds "Intro to Flight" scenario Adds 737 startup checklist. Look for white spinning arrows on the ceiling to find the first switch. White spinning arrows mean you need to set the switch (per the checklist), a green circle means the switch is already in the correct position Adds i
Adds "Intro to Flight" scenario
Adds 737 startup checklist. Look for white spinning arrows on the ceiling to find the first switch. White spinning arrows mean you need to set the switch (per the checklist), a green circle means the switch is already in the correct position
Adds internal cockpit night-lighting to all aircraft
Adds VR keyboard which appears when you tap into a textbox in VR
Greatly improves simulator startup speed
Video recording now records to MP4, and you can include audio or menus
Positional yoke now supports all settings/features that rotational yoke does (under Settings -> VR)
Some performance improvements
Some improvements to stutter during scenery loading
Fixes memory leak which occurs after opening moving map
Fixes CPU usage bug which occurred after opening and closing moving map
Fixes crashes caused by corrupt texture files
Fixes B55 Fuel Flow gauge
Adds SDK APIs to parse XML from strings, create strings from XML
Adds newer less obnoxious waypoint model
Adds wind sound, several sound fixes
Fixes several issues with loading stutter
Improves speed of terrain loading. Not done yet, but it's harder to outpace the terrain loader when flying fast
Fixed several aircraft systems bugs
Sim no longer hangs when audio devices are unplugged
Helicopters are now properly affected by wind/gusts
Several fixes to Steam installation process
Adds option so you can choose whether yoke is "hold to grab" or "tap to grab"
Adds UDP socket capabilities to scripting.
Yoke/collective are now grabbed via "tap on" / "tap off". Click the trigger once to grab it, then click the trigger again to let go. No need to hold it down constently.
You can now grab yoke using "grip" buttons on Vive/Touch controllers, which grabs from palm/fist rather than finger-tip
Adds setting to disable VR rudder control when grabbing yoke/collective
Adds setting to leave yoke where it is when you let go of it with VR controller
Adds sensitivity sliders for VR yoke/collective. I find that the helicopters are super flyable using only VR controllers if you turn down sensitivity a little
Tooltips/hands now appear at night, but not blindingly bright
Ground friction is now proportional to "weight on ground". You can get light on your skids in a helicopter and you won't be stuck in place
Propeller and mixture levers now function as multi-grab
Piston engine sounds now turn off when engine turns off
Fixes turn-coordinator ball bug
Improves 717 interaction
Adds heading to location dialog
Adds units/descriptions to helicopter flight dynamics tables

We've been hard at work since the last update, but due to some bugs and untested features, we aren't quite ready to publish this as a full update. For anyone interested, we have added a public "Beta" branch to FlyInside Flight Simulator. You can check out our latest changes and improvements, but you may find some new bugs too ;) How to opt in: 1. Open Steam 2. Go to the "Library" section 3. Right click on "FlyInside Flight Simulator" 4. Select Properties 5. Go to the "betas" tab 6. From the "Select the beta you would like to opt into:" dropdown select "beta" 7. Let Steam do its update thing! Next time you run the sim, go to "Help -> About." If the version is 0.5.3.0 it worked, if it is 0.5.0.0 you're on the last "stable" release. What's new since 0.5.0.0?

Adds night-lighting to all aircraft
Positional yoke now supports all settings/features that rotational yoke does (under Settings -> VR)
Default is now hold-trigger-to-hold-yoke, as we found "Tap on" / "Tap off" could be a little confusing for new users. Still easy to turn on from Settings -> VR :)
Some performance improvements
Some improvements to stutter during scenery loading
Fixes memory leak which occurs after opening moving map
Fixes CPU usage bug which occurred after opening and closing moving map
Fixes crashes caused by corrupt texture files
Yoke/collective are now grabbable via "Tap on" / "tap off". Hold your controller close to the yoke, press and release the trigger once. The yoke will stay highlighted and you can control it. Press and release trigger a second time to let go! You can change this to the hold behavior from "Settings -> VR" and unchecking "Use Tap-On/Tap-Off Yoke Hold"
You can now grab the yoke using a "grip" gesture. On Vive controllers press one of the grip buttons, on Oculus Touch squeeze both the trigger button and the grip button below it simultaneously. This will hold the yoke from the palm of the hand rather than the finger-tip.
Fixes MD530F collective grabbability
Adds a setting to turn off rudder control from vr yoke/collective grab. Settings -> VR -> VR Yoke Controls Rudder
Adds a setting to leave the yoke where it is when you let go, rather than snapping back to center (Settings ->VR -> Retain VR Yoke Position)
Adds sensitivity sliders for yoke control to Settings -> VR.
Hands are no longer blindingly bright at night
Tooltips/interaction bubble are now visible at night
Propeller and mixture levers now "multi-grabbable"
File -> Record Video now records to MP4, and you can include audio or menus to your videos
Engine sounds now go away when engines are shut off
Fixed friction bug, helicopters can now get "light on their skids"
Fixes turn-coordinator ball bug
Improves 717 VR interaction and switch coverage
Adds UDP socket capabilities to scripting. Contact me if you're interested
Fixes B55 Fuel Flow gauge
Adds SDK APIs to parse XML from strings, create strings from XML
If you try it out, please post your feedback on the discussion forums! Thank You, The FlyInside Team
