I'm not sure if the new Location menu is a test bed for a future Outerra GUI, but I am a big fan of this new layout 
Cleaner, nice use of transparency, all the important data is displayed and the new map navigation tool is really great.

A couple of remarks:

• It seems a bit strange that day of year or even time flow multiplier settings are in the camera controls window.
• If you click on "Term of use" in the Map of this menu, the openned window cannot be closed, potentially locking the user.

It doesn't totally work for me. Sometimes It takes me to the location I request, but often it simply changes the camera view or does nothing at all.

thank you . location browser is hopefully, the first one of many new ui components that will be created using the new ui framework. at first we would like to release just a couple of standalone dialogs with some kind of desktop management and later also new object / terrain editing tools. everything takes some time as it is built from scratch not using the old ui components, but we hope that it will make the editing easier.

• It seems a bit strange that day of year or even time flow multiplier settings are in the camera controls window.

as soon as we have the desktop ready we will most probably split these two dialogs into several separate dialogs / panels. f.e. location, daytime, camera settings. currently it was more important for us to test the framework than to make it look perfect. i guess that even in the future we will focus more on functionality than perfection. but the commets are alway welcome!

this is a known issue, that will be hopefully addressed by the new chromium integration (angrypig). currently it is possible to close the window by pressing ctrl+f4

It looks like transportation via location menu only works when not in a vehicle or plane. Hit Enter for normal mode.

Yeah... this kinda seemed odd to me.

hi acetone,
i'm the one responsible for the framework, desktop manager and ui architecture setup (and also the bootswatch css theme mod) right now but the real tools will be mostly up to Jericho. we just cant make him post something on the forum .

Interesting. Thanks for the heads-up.

The new shiny lights do not render correctly in stereo 3d mode. E.g. there are single eye repetitions on left and right of the screen.
Beside the SSAO med and high settings (which are heavily viewing angle dependant) the only issue with stereoscopic mode.

Edit: The headlights only show up in one eye and grass is not lit properly until a certain distance from cam to vehicle.

So for the 1st time in my Outerra history I don't visit the Forums or load up Outerra for a week (just 1 week!) and I miss the greatest and most impressive update to date! Amazing work Team! Looking forward to 5pm so I can get home and try this out. WICKED!! I hope my GTX970 is ready for this!.. it's going to be a late night.

Hmm...



Either someone forgot something in the build or the same person took pity after seeing my original material river beds in Talkeetna

The clouds are amazing, brings so much more realism. I guess next is rain and thunderstorms.

I just did an experiment there some time ago, almost forgot
The old road system is not entirely suitable for it, but in principle it works. Except for tile edge detection, I see.

Managed to have a go last night.. absolutely amazing Team! The Clouds look just incredible. The new interface is very clean looking. Best update ever!
