If you follow and use the beta build then you won't find any big changes here. However if you've just purchased Whirligig or use the default build (standard build and you've not changed anything) then this is a big update.
A couple of things have happened since the beta build. I've updated the Unity3D version and fixed an issue when the dashboard is visible.
Here's a list of some of the changes since the last default build update.
- Added Keyboard, Vive, Touch mapping.
- Added 6 model types for Touch controls.
- Added new room, tilted dome and flat dome.
- Added Switch Laser for mapping on Vive Controllers.
- All keys disable when Vive dashboard so you can't accidentally push options.
- Added the ability to map radius/distance to the controllers.
- Updated UMP and AVpro plugins and also looked at changing media foundation to use Unity audio source to allow Oculus headphones to work as default.
- Removed position menu from settings and give it it's own menu.
- Changed the way the position and zoom system works so that it doesn't move the menus.

If you are having problems with this update
If this update is causing issues there are a few things you can try. Firstly you can try resetting Whirligig back to it's factory settings. Full details of this can be found here:

If you still have problems please let me know. I do my best to fix bugs and improve the player on each update but sometimes problems do arise. If you contact me either through my website www.whirligig.xyz or through this forum I'll do my best to help and fix the issue.
If all else fails I keep previous versions live on the beta page so you can easily return to the previous default builds. To do this right click on Whirligig in Steam, go to properties, go to the beta tab and select "whirligig_early_access_v.3.92", which is the previous default build.
In Conclusion
I hope you enjoy the updates I've made to this version of Whirligig. I've added many of the features suggested by the users and I'm always happy to hear new suggestion for future versions. As I said before you you have any issues let me know and I'll do my best to fix them. If you like Whirligig positive feedback and reviews are always appreciated.
Until next time and thanks for support Whirligig.
