Volanta Changelog
Enhancements
- With offline tracking, loss of connection during your flight will no longer cause data to be lost, thanks to a new synchronisation feature, which saves position data and landing events while you’re offline. Note that logging in, starting or ending flights will still not be possible with an offline client.
- Added an option to apply profile customisation flight filters on the flights list as well.
- Improved highlighted screenshot selection for profile customisation with a preview.
- Improved synchronisation between the replay and flight path chart.
- The create new aircraft button on active flights will now prefill registration based on what was detected from the simulator.
- The “Add a flight plan” text now says “Edit” if you already have a plan.
- Added aircraft icons for: Generic glider (GLID), Cessna 210 (C210), Piper PA-46 (PA46, P46T), Piper PA-28 (P28S), Diamond DA62 (DA62), Cirrus Vision Jet (SF50), Pilatus PC-9 (PC9), Pilatus PC-24 (PC24) Piaggio P.180 Avanti (P180), HondaJet HA-420 (HDJT), Beechcraft Starship (STAR), Mil Mi-8 (MI8), Spitfire (SASP), Jaguar GR1 (JAGR), Panavia Tornado (TOR), Harrier jump jet (HAR), F-14 (F14), F4U Corsair (CORS), F6F Hellcat (HCAT), P-47 Thunderbolt (P47), P-51 Mustang (P51), Dassault Rafale (RFAL), Westland Seaking (S61), Westland Merlin (EH10).
Fixes
- Improved profile screenshot gallery performance significantly for users with thousands of uploaded screenshots.
- Fixed an issue where viewing another profile would cause two lines of highlighted screenshots to appear while loading.
- Fixed flights sometimes being completed while tracking is paused.
- Fixed landings are being recorded while tracking is paused.
- Fixed profile customisation, the exclude mode only takes into account one of the tags instead of all.
- Fixed screenshots appearing on the map on initial load when viewing a profile.
- Fixed highlighted screenshots numbers missing or being incorrect when filtering screenshots for profile customisation.
- Fixed startup crash on some Linux environments due to conflicting GTK calls.
- Raised the limit on the number of scenery scanner airports that can be synchronised, preventing discrepancies between the desktop and web clients.
- Fixed real-time tracking setting defaulting back to lost focus sometimes, even if it’s set to minimised.
- The flight path chart will no longer show parked positions, which improves scaling.
