Dear Stormworkers,
Improved controller support including HOTAS support is here! Stormworks now supports controllers with upto 8 axis and 48 buttons. These controls can be bound and customized in the controls settings, and a new HOTAS seat is added giving logic access to all 8 axis and 48 buttons.
We have also added new weather sensors for getting information on amount of fog, rain, and wind speed and direction.
The linear speed sensor now has 4 modes of operation; absolute (the old mode), directional (measuring signed speed in the direction the sensor is pointing), horizontal and vertical.
As always, please see the notes below for all of the fixes included in this minor update.
We are continuing to work hard towards the first major update and will be announcing more info on this soon.
Much love <3
The Stormworks Developers
