ThorstenRenk Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 After a longer than expected debugging session, FG 2018.3.1 is finally available on http://www.flightgear.org Some of the highlights include: * substantial performance improvements * a new active volcano to explore (Beerenberg) on Jan Mayen island) * the FG1000 glass panel display (inspired by devices such as the Garmin G1000) available for aircraft developers to include * more detailed rendering of light scattering on clouds Personally I've been testing the release binary with all sorts of crafts from the Shuttle to helicopters for the last two days, and I'm very happy with what I have seen so far - so give it a try!
