We released today the 1st step of the previously announced Zurich 2.0, see this thread for more details about it:
http://www.fsdreamteam.com/forum/index.php?topic=4380.0The update offers the following enhancements:
- Better night textures, see the screenshots in the above thread for comparison with the previous 1.5.2 version
- Almost all textures reworked even at day, with more pleasing colors, better specular mapping and bump mapping
- Increased LOD and visibility ranges for many objects, this will allow the scenery to work better with wider zoom settings.
- Fixed autogen exclusion around the airport
- ParkMe and YouControl. The previous version safegates (made with FS8 technology) have been replaced with the native FSX models from ParkMe/GSX, this will allow for better visuals, interaction and performances too.
- YouControl menu, with the ability to control the aperture of the sunshades on the main Central Terminal
- Better AFCAD with more airlines assignments and crosswind runways.
- Lots of other minor fixes
The update is free for all previous Zurich customers, and can be installed by simply downloading the new Zurich installer on the "Products" page. There's no upgrade patch, since almost all files have been changed, and there wasn't any significant size saving by doing a patch. It's suggested you uninstall the current version first, of course activation won't be affected at all.
The next update will feature the new Terminal B, and will be released before the new Terminal will be operative in the real airport.
