General

• Updated Windows requirements: DirectCGF now requires Windows 10 version 20H2 or later for .NET Framework 4.8.1 compatibility.
• Scenario Milestones: Players can now save scenario snapshots during pause mode and reload them as standalone scenarios.
• Timer Operator Fix: Visual Programming timers now execute for the exact intended simulation duration.
• Wait on a Racetrack: Heading, Leg Duration and Turn Duration parameters have been removed to prevent unintended platform modifications.
• Group Persistence: Platform groups are now embedded directly in scenario files.
• 3DTiles Support: 3DTiles (.json) can now be loaded within the Layer Manager.
• GeoRef Grid: New GeoRef display grid available in Tactical View.
• Ocean Layer: Fixed display issue preventing visualization of the Ocean Layer.
• Detonation Impact Position: Improved impact location accuracy.
• Subsystem Visibility: Subsystems are no longer deployable manually from platform libraries.
• Editable Navaid Identification: Navaid identification can now be modified from Player Mode.
• Player Freeze Fix: Fixed freezes occurring during Homing 2D, Homing 3D and Wait on Circle orders.

Performance

• AIS Optimization: AIS emitter computations have been optimized, reducing processing costs by more than 50% and allowing significantly larger AIS traffic simulations.

Visual Programming

• Weapon Fire triggers now expose the fired platform (missile, munition, etc.) as an output.
• Improved Property Editor synchronization between Behavior Sequencer and Visual Programming views.
• Fixed the "Detached Platform" output of the Detach behavior.
• Fixed errors when copy-pasting platforms using "Breakaway from Formation".
• Ballistic weapons have been removed from dynamically spawnable platforms.

CAP Relay & Racetrack Improvements

• Counter-Rotative CAP behavior renamed and improved.
• CAP Relay can start before aircraft reach the racetrack.
• Joining trajectories are faster and more efficient.
• Aircraft now use maximum load factor during racetrack entry maneuvers.

Platform Architect

• Added "Default Ship Type" property for AIS Emitters.
• Corrected min/max rotation limits for articulated parts.
• Launchers now rotate correctly by default when created.
• Reworked Azimuth/Elevation helper visualization for improved usability.

Interoperability (DIS / HLA)

• Persistent DIS Proxies: DIS proxies now remain in the scenario after timeout events, improving interoperability resilience.
• Static entities now emit Static Dead Reckoning (Mode 1) when exported through DIS/HLA.
• Site ID / Application ID modifications correctly refresh existing Entity IDs.
• Fixed erroneous acceleration vectors in Entity State PDUs causing small teleports.
• Detonation PDUs now use the Weapon's Munition Type instead of the Damage Model Entity Type.
• Fixed an error occurring when destroying submarines while interoperability was active.

Key Benefits

• More accurate simulation results.
• Improved DIS/HLA robustness.
• Faster CAP relay behavior.
• Higher AIS traffic scalability.
• Enhanced scenario authoring workflow via milestones.
• Better collaboration through embedded platform groups.
