It has been nearly 6 months since TiFS v1.3 came out, and since then, about five patches have been released. I'm here to talk about the changes I've made between v1.3 and v1.4.

The main noticeable difference is the flight deck view, otherwise known as the cockpit view. Yes, you can now view the plane from the perspective of the cockpit. This adds an extra benefit for older Ti-84 Plus CE's or even the Ti-84 Plus C Silver Edition, where the CPU may be slow and hence rendering will also be slow.

Another change I have made is a complete revamp of the physics system. You may use the same controls with v1.3 to accelerate and decelerate, however, the way to increase and decrease speed is now dependent on your throttle, which can go from -50% all the way up to 100%.

There are no new planes with the v1.4 update.
1) Cessna 172
2) DHC-6 Twin Otter
3) Beechcraft King Air

Here are a few screenshots of TiFS v1.4.



There is an add-on available that allows for a Day-Night Cycle, but I've only released it on itch.io. I'm not planning on bundling the Day-Night Cycle with the TiFS, so it's just an add-on.

CONTROLS:
- Arrow keys to bank and pitch the plane
- MODE and DEL keys to yaw
- X,T,θ,n and APPS keys to adjust to adjust the altimeter.
- STAT and PRGM keys to adjust the speed (knots)
- F1 key to toggle camera view mode

Have a safe flight!

Hah, thanks so much! I'd recommend getting the itch.io version instead, I'm able to provide updates at a faster pace on itch.io than I am with Cemetech.
