Patch Version 0.978

Aquila Bird Flight Simulator · published 8 years ago

All eventsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

This is a relatively straightforward patch to fix a few bugs reported to me. I am working on new features of course, but they're not within this for now.

- Fixed an issue where the ridge lift code could produce a divide by zero with relatively flat ground. The result had been that you would unceremoniously be sent hurtling groundwards, as the error would upset the flight model. This should be fixed now.

- Fix to autopilot altitude hold function, where being close to the ground on activation would cause an argument over who has control of thrust. This has been fixed.

- Another fix I forgot to mention... the thermal assistance (on Easy mode) wasn't working in Columbia and Canada. This is fixed now and should work.

The rest of the changes are 'back-office' stuff building towards additional achievements and flight logging. It's been a busy time with work, so I hope you'll bare with me while I work on additional features.

Thank you for your support. :)

Graeme

I've dabbled with Unreal Engine, then come back to Unity with it's more evolved functionality with VR, and I've been working on an overhauled version of Aquila. There is still plenty to do, but with this video hopefully it gives you an idea of what I want to achieve with it. I'm not finished of course, and the…Community5 Mar 2022Welcome, to the real world...Firstly I must apologise for the lack of much of anything on the Aquila front recently. Basically, as you may know, I was furloughed from my main job as a commercial pilot for nearly 2 years. They now want me, and a few hundred of my colleagues, back to work for what they expect will be a busy summer. The long and the short of it is I've been insanely busy studying a new aircraft, as well as tr…
