v0.39.0 - Anvils & UX Updates

Tornado: Research and Rescue · published · build 26390917

v0.39.0 brings some much needed UX upgrades:

  • Chemicals now have their own page, separate from the Data page
  • Chemicals no longer release automatically, instead you choose when to release them
  • The effect of each chemical on tornadoes is now visualised
  • Polarisation has been removed, instead for each chase session, the atmosphere will randomly decide whether a certain chemical increases or decreases each tornado property (wind speed, width, ground speed, path deviance)
  • The blue dot has been replaced with a blue arrow: in first-person mode (i.e., on foot) it points in the direction you're looking, in a vehicle it points in the direction the vehicle is driving
  • If you walk far enough from your vehicle, a separate vehicle icon is shown on the map
  • Cells now have basic anvils and overshooting tops, nothing groundbreaking, but better than no anvil or storm structure at all

Enjoy! :)
