Update 0.22

Update 0.22 is now live.

Turbines

-added turbine Test Run Mode: tweak turbine settings while it's running and see how it affects performance -added manual compressor stage & turbine pressure ratio setup (Advanced Setup - Simple Setup works like before) -added Bleed Air resource: turbines can provide bleed air that can be used to start other turbines and more in the future -increased maximum turbine alternator and hydraulic power -slightly decreased turbine efficiency (engines made in the previous version may require tuning) -decreased min and increased max combustor temperature

Rotors

-increased max rotor blade count to 8 -added a rotor blade chord setting -rotor blades can now break under high G-load and speed -added vortex ring state, overspeed and load warnings to the in-flight readout -fixed missing sound on the Tail Rotor -improved rotor audio looping

Aerodynamics

-increased wing drag just after stall which can make the aircraft yaw and possibly spin -increased camber effect from leading edge flaps -decreased ground effect strength -added wing snap sound effect -fixed incorrect fuselage center of pressure -fixed asymmetric vapor effects

New Parts

-added a Ducted Fan

Game Mechanics

-added an Era system which estimates the earliest year your aircraft could have been built (currently implemented for propulsion and fuels) -added Unit Cost, Part Count and Build Time (time you have spent on making the plane) to the craft Specifications window

Craft Inputs

-fixed some bugs affecting the Switch type input

Weather and Effects

-added new weather effects: it gets dark and foggy below thick clouds (requires Advanced Sky, Volumetric Clouds and Fog settings to be enabled) -improved volumetric cloud performance -increased vertical wind strength as the air moves over mountains -added contrails for turbines and ramjets

Other

-top and bottom RCS no longer affect stealth rating -added hardpoint ejection force parameter -adjusted ramjet performance -fixed landing gear root hinge drag problem -added editor directional light toggle
