Steam Sandbox Update v1.3.21

Dev joeysellers  8.7 years ago

Sandbox mode is exploding with new interactive content...

You're not alone anymore. AI aircraft traffic now populate the skies, flying your own planes. Provoke them, and they will fight back. Not only will the planes become hostile, but the sea-craft have defenses of their own as well.

This exclusive update is available only on Steam and includes the new race Lunar Arc, several enhancements to the designer, as well several bug fixes. Complete details below.

New Features

  • AI aircraft traffic in Sandbox mode, adjustable in the Game Settings. See your own saved airplanes fly alongside you! AI planes will become hostile if engaged.
  • Sinkable ships. Drop a bomb, launch a missile, and the ship will smoke, slowly sinking into the ocean.
  • 2 new destroyer ships! Be warned. These warships will retaliate with extreme prejudice, aka their arsenal.
  • 1 new race: Lunar Arc. This race will be featured in an upcoming Sky Cup tournament.
  • Users will be informed of newly downloaded workshop content from an in-game dialogue pop-up.

Designer Enhancements

  • Airplane Properties panel added, accessible from the menu.
  • Tool-tips added to most buttons.
  • Create sub-assemblies in a simple drag & drop action.
  • New mirror buttons added, including input bindings for mirroring left/right and opening the mirror tool.
  • Visual improvements to the wing tool.
  • Some parts now base their starting orientation on the current view when dragged out from the parts menu.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue preventing the uploading of mods on OSX.
  • Fixed an issue with flying through race rings at high speed registering as a miss.
  • Fixed a stack overflow issue with improperly configured input bindings.
  • Fixed an issue with detachers firing in incorrect directions when connected to activation group 8.
  • Fixed an issue with clicking through the flyout panel's title/back button.
  • Fixed an issue with designer button panels not being hidden when dragging parts.
  • Fixed an issue with designer button panels opening on top of each other.
  • Fixed an issue with wing properties flyout not being hidden when dragging parts.
  • Fixed some issues with nudged propellers exploding.
  • Fixed an issue or two with planes behaving incorrectly on the very first frame.
  • Fixed some issues with mirroring aircraft.
  • Fixed an issue with the wing tool gizmos jumping around when clicking on them.
  • Fixed an issue where air density for wing simulations was being tracked globally rather than per
    aircraft.

    if your gaming on a mac or tablet you need too get a pc, its hard for devs too make a game for 100 OS's, mac is for editing and a tablet is a big phone, if your playing a game like this on your phone once again get a pc.

    @SpiritusRaptor I think it is random, but it seems to favor a few different aircraft. Maybe there is an algorithm for choosing the aircraft, some sort of patter, but I haven't figured it out yet.
