+* Many improvements to the multi-player mode. Other airplanes are now
+ updated smoothly. There is a really nifty google maps based moving
+ map that anyone can use to track all online activity.
+* AI planes have improved ground following and are smarter about
+ selecting the active runway.
+* Include the ability to send ATC and AI aircraft communication to a
+ local festival server to be converted to spoken speech output.
+* Added a detailed model of the Honeywell MK VIII EGPWS ground
+ proximity warning system.
+* Complete overhaul/redo of terrain textures based on USGS satellite imagery.
+* Added background ATC chatter.
+* Updated/improved rain cone rendering.
+* Updated manual.
* Upgraded to JSBSim v2.0
* Fix a discrepancy in sign of twist and incidence values in YASim
the autopilot altitude hold module.
* UFO can adjust it's speed range so you can use it for super high
speed world exploration, or extremly fine grained precise positioning.
-* Updates to carrier interaction and launch/recovery modeling.
+* Much work and progress with carrier interaction and launch/recovery
+ modeling.
* Add a feature that allows the end user to click any where on the
terrain. The system will compute a ground intersection and report
point is reported in the property system so it can be read by just
about anything including external programs. Later we added the
ability to place an object at the click point as well.
-
* Add a feature to play one-off wav files. These are qeued and played
sequentially. This was then leveraged to build an ATC background
chatter module in nasal that can be turned on/off at run time. This
could also be leveraged for tutorials or other interactive type
scripts to play prerecorded messages at specific times or under
specific conditions..
