New Features

  • C_D Override for subassemblies now implemented. Please test! See this wiki help page for important instructions (fixes #1171)
  • Simulations now properly account for disabled stages (fixes #1477 and #1460)
  • Rail Button improvements:
    • Additional parameters for rail buttons (fixes #1537)
    • Added rail buttons to preset parts database
    • Scaling now supported for rail buttons (fixes #1661)
  • Mass objects maintain fixed volume when container diameter changes in auto mode (fixes #1315)
  • Inner tubes can have custom inner/outer appearance (fixes #1509)

UI Improvements

  • Visually select child components of assembly components when selecting the parent (fixes #1489). Try selecting a pod, stage, or booster and see.
  • Significant improvements to preset selection window (fixes #1481)
  • Added sliders to Photo Studio settings (fixes #1524)
  • Show markers for pods and boosters in rocket side view (fixes #1146)
  • Major improvements to focus behavior. Keyboard navigation in the Component Config dialog is now much more convenient.
    • When setting focus to a spinner field, select the entire field by default (fixes #1506)
    • After selecting a preset, automatically highlight most commonly edited parameter (fixes #1488). So, for example, after selecting a body tube preset the Length parameter will be selected by default.
    • Restore focus to motors, recovery, stage and simulation tables after table action and others (fixes #1558). Simply put, you shouldn't need to click in the table areas just to enable keyboard shortcuts to work.
    • Use tab and arrow keys to traverse sim table (fixes #1552)
  • Added and/or improved hover texts on a bunch of different buttons and controls
  • Apply preset after double-clicking (fixes #1539)
  • Pre-check diameter filters in preset chooser (fixes #1480)
  • Preset selection window opens larger, and remembers column widths (fixes #1305). Separate column widths are remembered for each component type.
  • Ctrl/Cmd+A (select all) keyboard shortcut in component tree, simulation and motor configuration tables (fixes #1549)

Notable Bug Fixes

  • Scripting now works again. Please test! (fixes #308, #826, #1108, and #1270)
  • Don't re-run simulations when new sim is created with same motor (fixes #1510)
  • Ensure simulations finish when running from scripts (fixes #1575)
  • Fixed Cd reporting for fin sets (fixes #1440)
  • Move component config window back to same monitor as main app window first time it is opened. No more lost config windows! (fixes #1470)
  • Rocket side view updates
    • Don't recenter rocket when zooming (fixes #1464)
    • Ensure full rocket is always visible and positioned correctly in rocket side view (fixes #1465)
  • Fixed root edge display in 3D view and fin templates (fixes #1227). This matters when you are attaching fins to a nose cone or transition.
  • Numerous bug fixes in component scaling (fixes #1649, #1651, #1653, #1661, #1662, and #1663)
  • Better register of double-clicks in 3D view (fixes #1054)
  • Increased component analysis drag precision to three decimal digits (fixes #1476)
  • Select recovery device/stage after config panel select (fixes #1490)
  • Fixed an exception when scaling freeform fins (fixes #1520)
  • Improved performance of freeform fin shape editor (fixes #1533)
  • Better automatic calculation of fin tab sizes (fixes #1600)
  • Fixed simulation errors when there were empty stages in the design (fixes #1617)
  • Fixed stage activeness not updating when moving, deleting, or copying stages (fixes #1680)
  • Fixed exception for zero-length transitions and nose cones (fixes #1677)

Other

  • Don't open motor selection dialog when duplicating motor configurations (fixes #1555)
  • A bunch of updated component icons
  • Added icons to most buttons
  • Improvements to Undo behavior when adding new components (fixes #1513)
  • Improvements to scale dialog (fixes #411)
  • Component tree now set to reasonable minimum width (fixes #1648)

  • Cleaned up several of the example rockets
  • Added warning to launch preferences that changes only affect new sims (fixes #1497)
  • Fixed overlapping labels in motor selection diameter filter slider (fixes #1643)
  • More Russian translation updates
