Signal Simulator

Update 1.4.9

Fix :

- Cropped message text in the database
- Missing Outdoor reflections
- Rain drops starts dissapear when drivind the vehicle

Changes :

- Increased acceleration of the vehicle. The max speed will be the same.

Update 1.4.8

Nothing new, just some more performance improvements and little changes.

Update 1.4.7

This update improves mostly the performance of the game

- LOD improvements
- Code optimization
- Fix : when pressing tracking for the antennas or frequencies, it creates another instance
- Fix : High CPU usage

Update 1.4.6

Fixes :

- Frequency detector tracking light contrinue to be on even when a signal disapeas
- If event signal overwrite a standart signal and been detected, the download data will continue from the last signal.
- Smoother transition between sunny and rainy day
- Message decoding data will now desapear after converting to binary starts

Improvements :
- Ram optimizations
- Audio files will not be loaded at start, but when needed. This will slower their start with some milliseconds, but will decrease the amount of required ram, causing crashes in some cases.
- Other CPU optimizations.
- Change the version from 32bit to 64bit. This will improve the performance and stability of the game

New:
- Antenna control rever button - it will revert all switches for the antennas. If all antennas are on with this you can turn them off with one click
- Button to disable current signal. This will remove the waiting when a signal is decoded. If you disable a singnal you can't send a transmission.
- New Story
- Controller integration - It is in progress, but you can fully controll your player and use the systems. You still will need keyboard and mouse to work with the terminal and the laptop. It will be inproved with future updates

Update 1.1.4.4

- Fix : After transmission returns a new signal message isn't splitting on a new line, causing the string to leave the monitor.
- Fix: Vehicle breaks.
- Fix: Terrain bounds

Added: Halloween stuff. They will unlock automatically.

Update 1.1.4.3

- Changes on vehicle colliders, physics , breaks , etc.
- Things that are going to unlock in the near future.

In the next two weeks expect small updates. I am not going to announce them just because they will include some small fixes and other things. Also most of it will be hidden and will unlock later this month :).

1.1.4.1 Just a quick fix :)

- Fixed the antenna sound while rotating
- Fixed strange sound distortion of the solar panels while cleaning is enabled
- Backspace vehicle reset is now disabled in the terminal. You can use it to correct the text as usual, but it will not reset the vehicle position.

Update 1.1.4.0

FIXES :

- Memory leak causing the game to crash
- When signal disappears the signal strength detector doesn't reset

CHANGES AND IMPROVEMENTS:

- Performance improvements
- Outdoor Lighting improvements
- Graphical option for foliage detailes change from slider to dropdown menu
- New pause state visual changes

NEW :

- Vehicle Added to the game
- Arrow keys as default control buttons
- Backspace button will reset the vehicle position when outside the vehicle. Just in case of vehicle stuck.
- Terrain size increased
- Antenna visuals will change based on the Antenna detection upgrade
- Solar Panels visulas change based on the Recharge rate upgrade
- Solar Panel cleaning system will be activated from single control panel
- New story signals

Coming up....

For everyone who is not using Discord and missed it. Expect it later next week.

Update 1.1.3.5

- Add a new way of detecting a signal measuring signal strength. At start it has a range of 1.5 where the antenna detection is 0.4 . Once you enter that range you will get an indication of signal strength. In case you have detected the Azimuth, moving further of of the signal coordinate the strength of the signal will lower and if you are closer to the signal it will become higher. Same for Elevation. This way this is going to give you if you are in correct path.
- Signal Strength range is calculated based on the Antenna Detection
- Signal Strength = 1.5 - Antenna Detection , this will balance a little more upgraded system and is going to help you at start of the game, maintaining the challenge of the game.

- Change : Terrain Detailes slider is reduced to 250 default Unity value, higher value may cause crashed to the game, reason why it is reduced.

- Change : Antenna Control coordinate step button and rotation buttons are removed, insted of that there are 8 new rotation buttons for Azimuth and Elevation with individual step to change the coordinates.

- Change : Tech has a limit of 100
