After a cinematic trailer showcasing the new Cinematics mode the other day, Parallel 42 has now released the awaited ChasePlane 1.2 update for the whole community. The new free update introduces numerous functionality and is available now.
Starting with Cinematics, this was previously known as Cinematic Mode. Not only did the name change, but all-new features creep in to enable artists to create stunning visual imagery with a click of a button. You can now have on-board cameras effortlessly glide through your aircraft in a beautiful way without doing anything yourself. Outside, the camera will do just as much visual delight to give you some sensational views. In addition, you can now key in a sequence and also mute simulators sounds.
As for this who miss the community part of ChasePlane, the team have heard and made some changes to the previously announced Presets Library. A new file will easily be sharable with your friends and you can download them straight to your library. Moving the default library is also easy so you can now effortlessly move files and give them to friends.
ChasePlane 1.2 is now ready to download for users on the Release Candidate channel. You will need to enable this if not already done so. Those on the Stable Channel will get access very soon. As a reminder, you can buy ChasePlane from Orbx.
