RF Studio 0.11.1-beta is available to testers. It is the first release announced here in the forum, so it sums up the whole 0.11 line: a big rework of water in the editor (0.11.0-beta, 22 October 2026) and the fix release 0.11.1-beta (23 October 2026) with a small orthophoto fix at beaches.
What's new
The water surface is always flat and below the terrain. New water cuts into the surrounding terrain. Before, higher terrain was mixed in at the shore – the surface "climbed the embankment" and the pond corners flickered in X-Plane.
Terrain below the surface: a new choice to keep a dam (default) or lower the level to the lowest terrain of the outline – with a warning about what it does to connected water. The new water type River always has a dam.
Filled water blends smoothly into the surrounding surface – no more bank around it and hole in the middle.
Beaches at changed water are adjusted in the same write: a beach segment crossed by the new shore is cut and the part on land stays. The new shore gets a beach like the neighbouring beach of the same water; otherwise the Studio asks for the type. The dialog preselects the narrow natural shore (8 m) and shows the width of each type.
Go to a place (Ctrl+G) in the 3D editor bar: coordinates in common notations (as in X-Plane, Google Maps, Mapy.cz or from a GPS), an ICAO code or a place name. A point outside the project window offers Move the window here.
Snapshots from X-Plane: the snapshot plugin (version 3) does not carry out old pending commands after X-Plane starts. Before, X-Plane could hang on "Preparing world".
Fixed
Water close to a thin "flipped" triangle of the Laminar mesh ended with the error "Triangulation failed".
Insert DEM across a seam of tiles one above the other (along a parallel) no longer fails, and a write across a seam is recorded correctly.
Take-over dialog: the scope (window / whole tile) can be changed while the preview is loading.
What to do
Install the new version over the old one – your data (settings, projects) stays.
The installer shows the license agreement version 1.2. Only the scope changed (0.11.x betas); the terms are the same.
If you use snapshots from X-Plane, the Studio shows a warning for the old plugin – reinstall the plugin and restart X-Plane.
