Another good update of popular addons. As version numbers for individual addons are not in sync, the whole update is referenced by the underlying VesselM library version - 0.8b in this case. There are two separate collections of addons - for Orbiter 2010 and Orbiter 2016. Both are updated to new versions.
The most important features of new update:
Addons can be downloaded and installed individually, or lumped together. As before, be sure to read Common VesselM Features manual (supplied with each addon) for detailed instructions on configuring D3D9Client for best look, feel and performance.
The most important features of new update:
- Significant improvements for Orbiter 2016 compatibility! Launchpads look much better, vessels' Touchdown Points behave better, shadows rendering improved. Orbiter 2010 still looks and operates smoother, but gap is shrunk considerably now!
- Separate Orbiter 2016 Improvements Patch is not needed anymore - all needed files are now part of the root Spaceports addon.
- 2010 version of Spaceports also became self-contained, not depending on Baikonur tiles addon anymore.
- Vostok's cockpit labels can now be translated into English with a touch of a key.
- Vostok's VZOR optical instrument now works in both 2010 and 2016 version (but requires very specific versions of D3D9Client versions for its operation - see the manuals).
