Good work Gijs. It's been such a long time since the last release, I had to look a the v2.0.0 changelog to check what was new! In looking at the last changelog, we mentioned shader support, so I think we might want to de-emphasise it slightly. There have been significant developments in that area, but shaders themselves are not new. I've added native multiscreen support. I think there are a couple of items currently on the list that are fairly minor, and detract from some of the major improvements that have happened. I'd suggest that they are removed, but didn't want to remove them without comment: Aircraft operations: - Indicated airspeed (IAS) limitations can be indicated on the airspeed indicator - Surely this is a straightforward model improvement rather than a new feature? - Improved autopilots - Seems a duplicate of "Wind-up prevention on simple autopilot systems" - A new head-up display (HUD) system - is this really new? AI Traffic - should these be included in Scenery Improvements? Navigation: - Autopilots can be driven by NAV or GPS instruments - surely this isn't new? I suspect this refers to a particular aircraft -Stuart ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ AppSumo Presents a FREE Video for the SourceForge Community by Eric Ries, the creator of the Lean Startup Methodology on "Lean Startup Secrets Revealed."
