Release 0.15.0
Paint It Black!
Sky Dolly “Flamboyant Fokker” (v0.15) has just been released. This is a no-new-features release. Instead several 3rd-party libraries are upgraded, most importantly the Qt 6 framework.
Improvements
- The new Qt 6 framework provides improved Windows 11 support and initial “dark mode” support
- Dark mode is still not enabled by default, however can be enabled via the command line with:
- SkyDolly.exe -platform windows:darkmode=2 or
- SkyDolly.exe -platform windows:darkmode=2 -style=fusion (the “Fusion” style currently looks arguably better)
- In both cases dark mode needs to be enabled in the Windows user settings
- Dark mode is still not enabled by default, however can be enabled via the command line with:
- Improved event state handling, specifically for “asynchronous events” like flaps (e.g with the PMDG 737)
Bug Fixes
- Improved AI object lifetime management, especially in the case of failed aircraft imports
- When importing flights without waypoint data (e.g. in CSV format) the generated start- and end waypoints have now unique timestamps specifically in the case when only one position sample (“parked aircraft”) has been imported, preventing a “unique key violation” (= the imported flight can be properly stored)
- The “Show replay speed” option (defining the default behaviour when switching to minimal UI mode) is now properly restored from the application settings
For all details please refer to the complete CHANGELOG on github.com.
