neXt v 1.450 is online
- new helicopter: Align T-Rex 700X Dominator
- new helicopter: Align T-Rex 500L Dominator
- compiled with Unity 5.4.1p4: this allows physically calculated colors and a lot of additional new functions.
- compiled with latest network libraries: unfortunately, you cannot meet with users of an older neXt version.
- all models and sceneries had been updated for the new graphic libraries.
- adjustable COG travel (tab Model Setup > Expert Settings).
- modified autorotation simulation
- show folder function available in screenshot, recorder and music tools. So you can find these folders much easier if needed.
- new scenery loader can download several sceneries at once. Sceneries are saved to the program data folder. So, the downloaded sceneries cannot be deleted by the operating system.
- a reflection map is calculated on the fly. So you can see the environment in shiny materials.
- more setup options for the shadow calculations (tab Settings > Graphics: Resolution and Cascades).
- all user preferences are now stored inside the program data folder. We don't use the system function any more. This eliminates the situation where installing updates corrupted the user rights of the configuration files so that neXt was not longer able to update these files.
- over 100 minor changes.

Could be. But in future this should not happen again. Now the neXt saves his configuration in a preferences file in your user documents folder.

Windows:
C:\Users\ user name \Documents\neXt\prefs.ini

OSX:
Macintosh HD/Users/Your User Name/Library/Containers/com.Eiperle-CGM.CGM-rc-helicopter-Simulator/Data/neXt/prefs.ini

When the neXt forgets his configuration, you should take a look if this file is there. Maybe you have to configure your anti virus software because it blocks the neXt.

Hello Klaus,

I just downloaded the update version 1.452. on the graphics section, disabling vsync. The heli model becomes really black and dark. I never had this issue with version 1.44. If i restart next the heli model becomes normal again.

Other than than loving all the new features and performance enhancements, especially the new heli models. New heli models are alway good :D

Thank you

yes, I know. That's because Unity deletes the reflection map. I'll fix this in the next update.

I see that the latest update is "1.454". I purchased my copy of neXt through the Apple Store. The Apple Store version is 1.441. When will the Apple Store version be updated to the current 1.454 version?

For the past couple of updates, I have noticed this.

I normally run v-sync off,.. and around 870 something FPS. This feels much smoother to me than the normlal 60fps.
Now, with the past couple of updates,.. after flying for a bit, the v-sync seems to come back on, the screen flashes,. then
shows 60fps,.. if I turn it back off,.. the same thing will happen after a short while. When I restart Next, v-sync is off,..
but the same thing happens.

Hi Josh,

you should disable in tab Settings > Graphics the option 'Lo FPS Alert'. Otherwise neXt notices that you are running too fast and enables v-sync automatically.

All the best,
Klaus

I think you don't need more. It's not clamped, so you can type in a higher rate.

Just tested the 1.457 with X3D JR Canyons, thank you klaus for fixing the lag/artifacts or what ever it was. I'm able to run at a much higher density(20% and over) now. Much more smoother with higher density.

A bit of a performance fps drop on normal scenery with vsync disabled, but I can live with that. Thank you
