{{stub}} | |||
<!-- NB: This stub being added as the deadline for the newsletter is almost here, and it should be very helpful to have the compositor mentioned during April to get bug reports from a lot of different systems. Someone more familiar with FG should ideally flesh this out. --> | |||
Nightly builds with the [[Compositor]] as an option will become available at [http://download.flightgear.org/builds/nightly/ download.flightgear.org]. | |||
See here for hints at [[Compositor#ALS_2|some of new graphical features]] coming with the new ALS. Usual disclaimer: Not everything may make it to first release - I personally don't know, some things may turn out to not be viable. | |||
See the forum [https://forum.flightgear.org/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=36269 thread] for screenshots. | |||
'''Please test''' | |||
''Each combination of Operating System version, graphics driver version, and GPU is unique with it's possible quirks and you should test for new issues on your system.'' | |||
=== UI features in 2020.1 nightly == | |||
The in-sim launcher now supports a dialog for Carriers as well as a number of other changes thanks to James. | |||
