Howdy, everyone. This is the third release candidate for v2.0.0. This release candidate contains some fixes and improvements, and most notably, replaces the old LUA radar with a new C++ radar. Even if you've been using the experimental radar from RC2, there are some exciting changes you will see in this release, all of which are documented in the kneeboard manual.
Thank you for continuing to report bugs as we resolve the last issues before the official release. Keep them coming at:

Version 2.0.0-RC3 - 28 Nov 2021

Added

  • Added 3 new USN liveries for USS Forrestal 1967.
  • New Radar:
    • Added reticle bulb to see the range lines easier.
    • Added keybinds for the radar display knobs.
    • Kneeboard pages: 3-7 -> 3-10.
  • Curvature for brake. This emulates the force one would feel while braking. The brakes now lock while rolling fast at ~75%.

Changed

  • New Radar:
    • Enabled this radar by default.
    • Range lines can now be lit by the reticule knob.
    • Range lines are now drawn on top of the radar returns.
    • Updated screen simulation to be more realistic.
    • Updated storage to be more realistic.
    • Updated radar reflection values for cities and other reflective terrain features.
    • Ships can now be detected on radar.
  • Textures updated:
    • Eject section seat.
    • Cockpit textures external. (thanks JP Gabobo)
    • ADI ball and climb indicator.
  • AN/ASN-41 error was being cancelled due to mathematical operation. This has been rectified. The drift will now be significant (1-2 nautical miles per hour, depending on manoeuvres).
  • Slow release for brakes when using keyboard rather than instantly going to zero. This allows the brakes to be feathered below the point where the wheels lock.

Deprecated

Removed

Fixed

  • Partially fixed long standing performance degrade due to the large number of blobs for the radar.
  • Issue #392 allowing the deck offset and angle to be adjusted based on ship type. (thanks OpticFlowX)
  • Reversion from CSS (or initial engage) to ATTITUDE should roll the aircraft level when within 5 degrees. (thanks OpticFlowX)
  • JTAC was missing from radio menu.
  • Fixed kneeboard page 1-2 overprinting.
