Release 0.12
Sky Dolly v0.12 has just been released. This release brings the software architecture a huge step towards “the final picture”: namely the modules have been implemented as plugins as well.
As the module plugins are unloaded immediately after use this reduces the memory (RAM) usage of Sky Dolly even further.
New Location Module
A new Location module is introduced, with the following functionality:
- Capture, manage and teleport to locations
- Location attributes such as type, country, identifier and description
- Copy latitude/longitude coordinates from this forum, Google Maps or any other website and paste them directly into the Location module (with CTRL + V)
- Various latitude/longitude formats are accepted: decimal values (comma-separated or not) and various DMS notation flavours
- A set of default (“system”) locations is provided (*)
- Including a challenging visual approach to Santos Dumont (SBRJ) in Rio de Janeiro, based on the real-world flight AZU4205 from SBGO on July 25 2022
Improvements
- The tables are updated in a more efficient manner “by row”
- The code now compiles with Microsoft Visual Studio 2022 C++ compiler and is now constantly scanned for “code smells” with Microsoft C++ Code Analysis Action (“continuous integration”)
Further usability and minor bug fixes, please refer to the complete CHANGELOG on github.com.

(*) I am sorry for the somewhat Swiss-centric selection of locations
