SDK UPDATE

• General
  • The new SDK DevSupport platform is live! Create your account on https://devsupport.flightsimulator.com, make sure to take a look at the guidelines, and then you can start exploring all the ideas & answers shared by the community! This space is 100% dedicated to the SDK, so no other topics will be discussed here.
• Dev Mode
  • General
    • On the new release note window, we fixed the “Download” button which wasn’t displayed as the icon was missing from the package.
  • In the Project Editor:
    • We now prevent generated airport package names from containing illegal characters.
    • We’re making some changes on the different wizards so that they will define the package’s name after the definition of the assets (ie: after choosing an ICAO for an airport).
  • In the Scenery Editor:
    • We now allow the use of SceneryStatistics even when no project is loaded.
  • In the FX Editor:
    • We fixed crashes on the node graph.
    • We fixed the behavior of the BezierCurve, which calculated the curve the wrong way.
    • We fixed a crash that could happen when closing the sim while FX were playing.
    • We now expose the particles color.
