Day/Night added to the map!
We have added a visual indicator to the map that shows if an area is currently in daylight or darkness.
Fixes & Improvements
- The current boat "Skipper" is now listed in the crew list.
- Players could use the anchor as a cheat during races at the buoys by dropping and pulling anchor which would raise the gennaker very quickly. The anchor has now been disabled in races.
- The sea should have better contrast in light winds.
- The red gennaker of distant boats is no longer red and fades better in the distance.
- Nearby terrain has been smoothed more.
- Fixed an issue with terrain using the wrong shader.
As always If you have a bug you'd like to report, please follow the guide for 'how to report a bug' and post a new thread in the Bug Reporting Forum.
Happy sailing,
