Beta 0.20.0-beta is the candidate for version 1.0. After it we add no new features, only fixes. Some of the new items have not yet been verified directly in X-Plane.
What's new
Orchards and plantations: pear, plum, sweet and sour cherry, apricot, peach, walnut, fig, almond, olive, citrus, avocado, mango, coffee, tea plantation and sugar cane. Trees have leaves, blossoms and fruit made from photographs and change with the season. Sunflower fields contain real 3D plants.
Buildings: style presets (village, panel block, tenement, hall, terminal), annexes, towers and garages, mansard roof, plinth, several doors and gates, stairs on a slope, chimneys and dormers.
X-Plane link: the X-Plane camera follows the Editor view and vice versa; project objects can be drawn live inside X-Plane.
3D preview: conditions (day, dusk, night, weather, season), fly-through along a route and runway approach, comparison with a map, orthophoto or photo.
Orthophoto: colour matching of several images, patches for cars, clouds and shadows, retouching of a finished orthophoto; import also in Overlay and Airport modes.
Airports: an airport tree similar to WED.
Plant precomputation can be exported to a single file and loaded on another computer.
Comfort: search in the Terrain & water and Airport panels, Esc always closes whatever is on top, the wizard starts with a sample project.
New-version notice in Settings. It is off by default and Studio does not connect anywhere.
What's fixed
A large review of the editor (over 180 findings): one Undo history for all edits including terrain and beaches, a prompt for unsaved changes when switching projects, a reminder of unsaved work after a crash, layout in a narrow window, English texts.
Hop gardens no longer glow, fruit trees in winter have no dots around the crown.
When a project's base DSF is missing, the editor says so and offers a fix.
The manual has new editor screenshots in today's look.
