Developer notes for changes in 3.00 Beta 1

UI

Target Elements

• (IMPROVEMENT) The distance value shows a one digit decimal value for objects which are > 1km away now.
  
• (BUGFIX) While in 1st-person, some mission targets incorrectly displayed a hull/shield bar (like buttons or pilot chairs) in certain cases (f.e. when they were selected) X4-350 - Getting issue details... STATUS
  (note: the screenshot/example for the pre 3.00 Beta 1 state differs a bit as the mission target used a different color before 3.00 Beta 1)
  

Weapon Panel

• (BUGFIX) If a weapon is assigned to a primary and a secondary group, it was incorrectly displayed as active for the primary as well as the secondary weapon set, even if only one of the currently active primary/secondary weapon groups had it assigned. This has now been fixed. X4-349 - Getting issue details... STATUS

Developer notes for changes in 3.00 Beta 5

UI

General

• (IMPROVEMENT) The behavior of the UI scale setting (options menu -> settings -> game settings) was adjusted to get more reasonable results on the more common display resolutions out there. This is especially notable on monitors with horizontal resolutions >1920. The following screenshots provide an overview of how the UI elements behaved before 3.00 Beta 5 and after on different resolutions.
  

External HUD

• (BUGFIX) Fixed the mission target arrow in external view (F2) not being displayed, unless there is also a target being set. (regression introduced in 3.00 Beta 1).
  

Developer notes for changes in 3.00 Beta 6

UI

General

• (BUGFIX) Fixed multiple UI issues (incl. the most noticeable effect of the missing 1st-person crosshair) in cases where a direct transition from external view mode to 1st-person mode was done. One way to trigger this issue is to go to external view (F2) while sitting inside a cockpit and press CTRL+D to stand up.
  

Crosshair

• (NEW FEATURE) 3.00 Beta 6 adds a display for the current oxygen level to the crosshair/hud while being inside the spacesuit.
  
• (IMPROVEMENT) A spacesuit has no countermeasures to launch. Therefore, the display of countermeasures should be dropped from the crosshair, if the player is atm in a spacesuit.
  
• (BUGFIX) In 1st-person, text (associated to an interactive event displayed on the target monitor) could remain on screen after the interactive event disappeared. This has now been resolved and the text will no longer remain on screen.
