  • Performance fix, no more bloom in VR, add a setting for speed control - 11 November 2023

    - Performances were downgraded in previous version, it should now be fixed. - In VR, picture looks shimmered, like with oily glasses. It was the bloom effect that was added in flat screen and VR version. But as it's a camera lens effect this doesn't felle natural at all in VR. So it's removed. - In last version, speed close to surface was far more slower. It was to make the flight easy for everyobiody. But the modification was actually frustating for many, so there is now a "speed close to surface" setting so it should make everyone happy.

  • New controls in Fractal Fly! - v4.2023.06.04 - 4 June 2023

    This update is all about controls! There is mainly a new control mode, called "airplane", with it you can do loops and rolls.

  • Fractal Fly update notes - v3.2023.04.01 - 1 April 2023

  • Fractal Fly update notes - v3.2023.03.25 - 25 March 2023

  • New stuff for Fractal Fly! - 8 March 2023

    Fractal Fly has now a new UI, the old one was very rough and needed a big polish ! And moreover, this update comes with a new fractal! Here is a video to see how it looks:

  • Fractal Fly update notes - v2.2022.08.27 - 27 August 2022

    Main modifications: - Improve rendering quality at low res: In Fractal Fly internal resolution gets automatically lower if graphic card isn't rendering fast enough. In last month update rendering turned to be blurry, rounded and messy when internal resolution was getting low. This shouldn't be the case anymore, though you may get some shimmering. - Speed changes between when you're zoomed or not (you wont go as fast at the size of an ant as at your normal size). But the speed change was annoying and very perceptible. It should now be less disturbing. Other modifications: - Fine tune shadows. - Color and detail fine tuning in Bubble cave.

  • First big update of Fractal Fly! - v2.2022.07.29 - 29 July 2022
