Hi,
Here is release version 0.23-1 of sfsim.
I started adding achievements to sfsim.
To begin with I added the following achievements:
breaking the sound barrier: spacecraft exceeds speed of sound
crossing the Kármán line: spacecraft reaches altitude of more than 100 kilometers
achieving stable Earth orbit: lowest point of orbit is above 160 kilometers
I think achievements are a useful feature of Steam, because they give feedback to players about their progress in the game.
Let me know in the sfsim playtest discussion forum if you have any thoughts. Don’t forget to wishlist sfsim!
Enjoy!

ShockwavesI am excited to share early results of shockwave rendering with the community! I would like to add visualization of a glowing shockwave during atmospheric reentry in the sfsim spaceflight simulator. I explored possible approaches by discussing the problem with Google Gemini. Popular approaches seem to use meshes with animated semi-transparent noise textures. However this still leaves the proble…Deferred RenderingI have released version 0.30-1 of sfsim . This release introduces a major overhaul of the rendering code as well as a runway for the spacecraft. The rendering system is implemented using the Clojure programming language as well as GLSL . LWJGL3 is used to access the graphics card’s OpenGL bindings. The new rendering code uses deferred shading , which first computes and stores per-pixel geometry…Metallic and roughness factorI have released version 0.29-1 of sfsim . The Open Asset Import Library (assimp) which is shipped with the LWJGL3 library has been updated some time ago. I am now able to access the metallic value and the roughness value from the glTF exported by Blender . The metallic and roughness value are now used in the model shader programs so that the spacecraft has a more metallic surface. In the meanti…
