A few small changes for improved scenario handling in v0.12.1

[list]

[*] The scenarios now have a latitude, longitude and UTC offset so that the lighting of the scenario can be recreated more accurately

[*] The tornadoes in the scenarios now have additional parameters for scaling the windfield (swirl ratio, falloff, radius of max wind etc.)

[*] The Bridge Creek scenario itself has more detail added, see the picture below of a side-by-side comparison with the actual track

[/list]

I have also fixed a bug with the FoV controller that changes FoV based on vehicle speed: it kept overshooting when slowing down resulting in a massively zoomed-in FoV.

The terrain texture is updated and vegetation is stripped from the ground, including grass, shrubs, corn and even in extreme cases leaves from trees! This adds to the atmosphere of the game, as you close in on the path of the tornado you will see evidence of the tornado's intensity. As always, enjoy! :)Game update29 Aug 2026Tutorial/Email System - v0.27.0There's been an influx of new users recently so I decided to introduce a type of in-game tutorial in v0.27.0 You will receive an email introducing you to the game and explaining basic vehicle and camera controls. Then as certain events happen (tornado touches down, a populated area gets threatened etc.) you will receive an email explaining how that game mechanic works. Hopefully this will stop…
