April 7Apr 7 For those like me who can't read the link because MS published it in darkscreen mode (I can't read a single word on any site that is using dark screen. I also have trouble walking around the house at midnight when the lights are all off). Online Services Weather Fixed an issue with visibility causing fog to no longer appear World Fixed missing terminal buildings on TIN Airports Fixed pushback not behaving correctly when requested through the key binding in untowered airports Vegetation Fixed plant mesh not rendered in Sub build Traffic Multiplayer: Improved fallback model matching using more metadata like wingspan, engine count and engine type to produce a closer alternative match. Multiplayer: Ensured model matching does not match airplanes for helicopters when a fallback is used. Virtual Reality Fixed the “Reset to default” feature of the Virtual Reality graphic settings section resetting the non-VR graphics options too. Added the Virtual Reality graphic settings on PlayStation 5. DevMode Project Editor Fixed freeze when building packages. Added a progress bar. SDK Fixed SimConnect_SetRelativeCamera6DOF call which ignored position parameters and put camera at the center of the SimObject, not the eyepoint.
