We are pleased to announce that RealFlight version 10.00.026 is now available as a free release for all Evolution users! This update adds two brand new airplane models. It also includes a number of improvements, mostly focused on the user interface.
Features
Steam will detect the new version and automatically update RealFlight when it thinks your computer is not very busy. You can trigger the update manually if desired by completely restarting Steam. Right-click the Steam icon in your system tray and select Exit. Once everything closes, run Steam again, and the update should complete.
Features
- New model: E-flite Night Radian 2.0m
- New model: Hangar 9 Fun Scale PT-19 (includes 4S and 6S variants)
- The main menu now has a transparent background, showing the current state of the simulation behind it
- Added menu items to export content for sharing (in My RealFlight -> Export)
- Added a setting for Radio Gadget mode (in Settings -> User Interface -> Gadgets -> Radio)
- Added a setting for Randomize Color Schemes option (in Settings -> Simulator)
- Added a menu item for Quick Edit feature (in My RealFlight -> Quick Edit Current Aircraft)
- Improved performance of selection dialog lists while scrolling
- In selection lists, when filter options are opened, the "Filter By Name" text input box has focus so you can simply start typing
- In selection lists, when filter options are opened, arrow keys no longer change the current selection behind the dialog
- In selection lists, when filter options are opened, ESC closes the filter dialog and leaves the selection menu active
- The controller's Cancel button opens the new UI during challenge levels. It also opens the new UI from various challenge dialogs and backs out of others.
- Pausing a challenge level and selecting Main Menu exits the challenge and brings up the main menu
- Going between challenge dialogs and the new UI no longer occasionally results in a stuck state with unresponsive/unavailable UI
- Going between certain challenge end-level dialogs and the new UI no longer sometimes results in garbled portions of the text
- The challenge level finished sound effect does not play again if you open the new UI and then return to the level finished dialog
- Selecting About -> Credits does not close the About dialog if it is already open
- Load Flight Recording menu's Select button is disabled if no recordings exist
- Improved performance of airports with large numbers of dynamic objects
- Thrust reversing on equipped models is engaged by holding button I on the InterLink DX and advancing the throttle. Previously it was assigned to Switch A. (This change happened prior to this build, but we wanted to draw attention to it.)
