I'm excited to announce a new update with significant improvements. Unless you find some major show-stoppers, we'll roll out something close to this as 0.6 tomorrow to everyone
Biggest new features are trees and animated water, both added to the streaming scenery system.
- Adds trees/canopy to streaming scenery
- Adds animted water to streaming scenery (we'll follow up with slightly more accurate water data, but it's a good start)
- Major improvements to MD-530F flight model
- Adds binding for "Settings -> Controls -> VR -> Toggle VR"
- Resolves major memory leak in new scenery system
- Some improvements to loading speed of streaming scenery in building-heavy areas
- Some CPU utilization reductions/performance improvements
- Streaming Scenery setting under Settings -> Graphics no longer randomly shuts itself off during network failures
- Fixes crash when switching to SteamVR
