v2.3.1.3 Development Log:
Updated the Unity game engine to a newer version for Long Term Support (LTS) and reduced script conflicts, optimization improvements, and runtime errors.
Freeplay, Normal Procedures, Scenarios -
Aircraft compass direction rotation corrections accurately rotate with aircraft direction. Additional script updates to flight controller for mixture performance and accuracy. Updated 3D model instrument panels with new models and textures for more accuracy and realism.
Emergency Landing Scenario -
Corrected step sequencing to better reflect the electrical system power during the procedure as well has particle effect updates to the Bird Strike scenario.
New Scenarios Creation -
Traffic Hazards demonstrating the procedures of: Taxi To Takeoff Traffic, Takeoff Traffic, Altitude Deconflict Traffic, and Landing On Approach Traffic.
Fire Survival demonstrating the procedures of: Fire During Start On Ground, Engine Fire In Flight, Cabin Fire, and Wing Fire.
Electrical Survival demonstrating procedures of: Electrical Fire In Flight, Power Supply High Malfunction, and Power Supply Low Malfunction.
Weather Hazards demonstrating the procedures of: Icing, Crosswind Landing, Thunderstorm Avoidance, and Lightning Strike. New sound effects for weather conditions added. New atmosphere conditions for wind speed, direction, and turbulence programmed to each procedure.
3D Development -
A new Fire Extinguisher is now in the cockpit, available for use during the new Fire & Electrical Survival scenarios. The twin engine aircraft is now a hazard for the Traffic Hazards scenario. Particle effects for smoke, fire, extinguisher, and canopy explosion incorporated to necessary scenarios.
The single engine aircraft has also been updated with the Cabin Heat, Air, & Defroster 3D models as well as a new Alternator switch model.
Pilot Record -
Ranking system created for certificate updates per scenario completion. A new Pilot Rating points system has been created that captures each completion of the course to update the user's overall rating.
Global UX/UI -
Visual updates to the Main Menu incorporate the improved layout of the Flight School, Scenarios, and Pilot Record dialog options available to the user. The Pause Menu has also incorporated the Aircraft Controls dialog that outlines all options for keyboard input controls as well as options for the Freeplay mode to hide the in-game overlay of the Aircraft Controls Dialog.
