WolfViewer — Flying Fox (7.2.4 w59)

Flight Mode

Open World > Flight Mode in your plane or helicopter for a proper cockpit across the bottom of the screen: an autopilot panel, a primary flight display, a moving map, crew alerts and a flight computer. A head-up display shows the horizon and where you're heading.

  • Fly anywhere on autopilot. Click the flight computer, type a region (for example Madrigal, or Madrigal/128/128/60 for an exact spot) and press Enter, then press CMD. It flies straight there and circles overhead (helicopters hover on the spot).
  • It flies the plane, not your avatar. It uses the same keys you would, so it works with your aircraft's own script. Set which keys your aircraft uses on the flight computer's CTL page.
  • Holds your speed. A/T comes on with the autopilot and keeps the speed you set.
  • Clears the mountains. It looks a minute ahead and climbs early over high ground, with TERRAIN and PULL UP warnings if you get too close.
  • Fly it yourself. Drag the sidestick and throttle on the panel, or use your keys as always.

Sailing Mode

Open World > Sailing Mode at your boat's helm for a walnut chart table with a ship's wheel, a brass wind instrument, boat speed, depth and VMG.

  • Sail anywhere on autopilot. Type where to go, press TRACK and AUTO. It plans a route through deep enough water round the land, tacks on the laylines when the wind's against you, and stops at the nearest shore if the place itself is on land.
  • Keeps out of trouble. It looks ahead across the bow for other boats, jetties and shallows, and turns away in good time.
  • RAISE says "raise" in chat to put your sail up (change the word on the CTL page).
  • Links to the sailing club and airports pages on wolf-grid.com.

Your route on the World Map

Press MAP on either deck and the World Map opens zoomed to your whole trip, with the route drawn on it and where you are along it. Great for flying or sailing the route yourself.

Show or hide, any time

Three new buttons at the bottom right show or hide the toolbar, the flight deck and the sailing deck, so you can take clear pictures without leaving the mode. WolfViewer always starts with the toolbar showing.

Boats on the water

  • Moored boats now rock gently, each in its own rhythm.
  • Boat wash stays behind the boat, even on very large regions.

Also in this release

  • What's new: a link on the login screen and Help > What's New show the latest changes.
  • The World menu scrolls if it's taller than your screen.
  • The Wolf Territories world map shows only while you're on a Wolf Territories region.
  • Natural water keeps clear of objects and existing lakes.
  • Fixed a crash when teleporting away from a large region with smaller regions along its edge.
