The replay format probably did change between 10.45 and 10.50.

The replay and .sit file format has not been stable between free patches … pretty much ever.

We are looking at setting the format up to be stable across a major version run.

I have loads I use for reviews that are only a few months old and some are damn good? Are they all gone? Thanks SD

Correct. If you want to ‘exclude’ them, include your own apt.dat and you get control of statics.

So……. Am I correct in assuming that exclusion zones have no effect on sim generated statics?

One last trick – put a modal message box at the top of your xplugin start. That’ll give you enough time to get attached.

That works, but I can’t start it from my IDE in that case, and even worse, plugin start up happens so early that it’s impossible to attach before the plugin has potentially crashed and burned already.

We are waiting for c++17 to be finalized!

Just kidding … Jennifer’s writing up release notes now – she found one beta-stopping bug in the test build, which I fixed. Should be posted tonight I suspect.

To get statics:
1. turn on the ren setting check box
2. turn up OBJ density a bit.
3. make sure your apt.dat is exported targeting 10.50 in WED 1.5b1
4. make sure you have an operations type that is not none
5. make sure you have a spot type that is gate or tie down

To NOT have static aircraft
set the operations type to none or
set the gate type to misc

I’m able to “head roll” using TrackIR 5 and X-Camera.
