- [DEFAULT] 26w24abc/25ab: Better FPS, new instruments bricks, crosshair - 22 June 2026
So I haven't pushed the last few Experimental builds to the Default branch in the last two weeks, sorry for that! The reason is I tried to implement Virtual Texture to improve FPS but ultimately the ratio complexity/gains became too weak so I scrapped it. One week down the drain! But fear not, as I still managed to improve the FPS via several shader refactors. New terrain shader yields FPS Improvements I tweaked and improved the terrain shader: we jumped from 70 to 95 fps (from 50 fps two months ago!). Still sensible gains!The look will be a bit different, but it will actually look better from afar.Planet Texture:I also added a setting for the planet texture generation, which give planets a hd looks when viewed from space. The new high settings makes the planets looks twice better!Two new cockpit instruments were added:Artificial Horizon:this represent the ship roll and pitch, like in m…
