GeoFS 2.9


It has been one year since the last update on the GeoFS blog. So it probably is due time to increase the version number by another notch. GeoFS is undergoing continuous development and updates so there is no tangible release cycle, but for celebration purpose, let's just blow another candle and list all the events of this year 2020:

  • Covid-19: yes, it has also impacted GeoFS, as it impacted everyone's life this year. Development had to slow down a bit but things are improving and there is light at the end of the tunnel.
  • Water detection and rendering
  • Carrier arresting cables
  • Improved wind/terrain interaction, improved turbulences, added thermals
  • Fixed fog problems and weather engine performance
  • New Pilatus PC-7
  • Reworked Concorde exterior and cockpit
  • Reworked Su-35 exterior and cockpit
  • Reworked “Major Tom” hot air balloon with multi-liveries
  • Refreshed airport and runway data
  • GeoFS for Schools licensing: bringing GeoFS to the classroom.
  • GeoFS Light app: free, self contained version of GeoFS for Android and iOS
  • Loads of Community Contributed aircraft: thank you to all the developers!
  • And... the general bug fixes and performance improvements
