Key Changes

• Full set of cloud types, including Cumulonimbus.
• New Landscape Generator: Sandworm Tool (production-ready).
• Integration of .NET Core 5 (C# 9).
• Water system upgrade: precise control of waves spectrum.
• Planar reflection probes.
• Light Meter tool for physically-correct visualization.
• Safer execution sequence in the engine and physics system.
• Per-effect quality presets system.
• Asset packages system.

Notice: UNIGINE 2.14 SDK requires SDK Browser version 1.9.30 or later.

Full Set Of Cloud Types

UNIGINE’s 3D volumetric multilayer cloud system is designed specifically for enterprise flight simulators and meets the strict requirements applicable to them, offering true-to-life skies.

There are ten types of clouds in nature: Altocumulus, Altostratus, Cirrocumulus, Cirrostratus, Cirrus, Cumulonimbus, Cumulus, Nimbostratus, Stratocumulus, Stratus.

Water System Upgrade (Beta)

New implementation of waves is now available offering you precise control of waves spectrum. Unique characteristics of each wave system can be set independently through spectral parameters, wave direction and speed, and the shape factor of waves (as all the data is now available on the CPU side). You can create multiple waves and wave groups (from largest to smallest) with convenient access to every parameter and an ability to control them via API at run time (e.g. processing Weather Control packets from an instructor station, etc.).

Integration of .NET 5 (C# 9)

Having started with .NET Core 2.2 and 3.1 support, we have now implemented support for .NET 5 released in November 2020 (new major .NET versions are planned annually, so we keep the pace). This update brings you many fixes and new features as well:

• Better performance.
• Garbage collection improvements (reduced memory consumption).
• C# 9.0 support with improved performance & native interop and more (for details please follow this link).
• Container size optimizations.
• Numerous bugs fixed and much more.
