Aircraft Editor V2 Smart Docking System: the game can now be rendered in its own window in the Devmode, allowing you to re-arrange your editors around it. General: On the Project Editor We fixed the export that was duplicating or adding files from packages that were not selected to the .zip archive. On the Aircraft Editor We reversed deleting legacy parameters when USE_LEGACY is unchecked to avoid user errors. Instead, we now mark legacy parameters as “not required” when USE_LEGACY is unchecked. We fixed wrong conditions on parameters. On the Scenery Editor We fixed a regression during airport draw. We fixed a little shifting when resizing large rectangular aprons. We also fixed the rectangular apron picking. We fixed polygons that were not refreshed when opening a project. We fixed a memory leak in VectorDataBag. On SimConnect We added “Final approach leg”, “missed approach leg” and approach suffix to NavData API and fixed a typo. SimConnect_AISetAircraftFlightPlan and SimConnect_AICreateEnrouteATCAircraft now reference work folder or package folder. RunwayStart can now be requested using NavData API.
