SimplePlanes Update 1.7 - Damage Control

The 1.7 update is now available! Here is the trailer showing the new features.

Here's what's new in 1.7:

• Countermeasure Dispenser (Chaffs / Flares)
  
• Torpedo
  
• Unguided Rocket
  
• Cleaver (cruise missile)
  

• Part Transform tool
  
• Improved Damage Model
  - Parts can now take damage instead of instantly exploding
  - Engines can catch on fire
  - Control surfaces, RCNs, rotators, etc can be shot out
  - Wings can leak fuel
  - Improved look and performance of bullets
  
• Countermeasures
  - Chaffs and flares can now prevent and break locks
  - Aircraft size and engines also play a role in how difficult it is to acquire a lock
  
• WW2 Destroyer with Flak Cannons
  
• WW2 Torpedo Mission
  
• Number entry on Fuselage Properties
  
• Redesigned Fire buttons
  

• Cycle designer part properties buttons in reverse via right-click
  
• Improved mirroring in the designer
  
• Disable Auto-Sizing of nose cones after it has been manually resized
  
• AI fire countermeasures
  
• Bridge Demolition Mission is a bit harder
  
• Collisions between dynamic rigid bodies now downscale the impact force if the other body has less mass.
  
• Bomb explosions have been updated
  
• Some smoke damage particle effects have been updated
  
• Damage for various weapons has been tweaked as well as the health of the ships. It may take more to sink them now.
  
• AI plane tweaks (dogfighting should work better now)
  
• Bombs and missiles that have been fired are no longer affected by explosions (easier to carpet bomb now).
  

• Fixed part menu scrolling
  
• Fixed bug that allowed missiles without cameras to load terrain.
  
• Fixed a couple bugs related to races.
  
• Fixed some issues with wing leveling mode.
  
• Fixed a couple bugs with control surface deflection calculations.
  
• Fixed a bug with the 'Loading...' label getting stuck when attempting to enter a level with banned parts.
  
• Fixed a bug with AA missiles exploding at the wrong position.
  
• Fixed a bug with mirroring scaled parts.
  
• The fuselage rise/run limits have been increased to 5.
  
• Fixed a bug with part property sliders sometimes showing an incorrect slider position.
  
• Fixed a bug with incorrect calculations for control surface deflection.
  
• The propeller engine no longer restricts modded engine power to within normal range when selected.
  
• Made some tweaks to the missiles related to them traveling at their specified max speeds.
  
• Reduced the distance that a piston snaps to its target position, so it's less jarring when looking closely.
  
• Rockets now check the impact force when collisions occur, no longer blowing up if sneezed on.
  
• Fixed an issue with rotators failing to find a joint after being mirrored. It's still not perfect, but much improved.
  
• The tire squeal no longer plays at the camera.
  
• Fixed bug with center of mass being incorrect for bodies with 0 total mass. (fixes 0 mass missile wobble on detachers)
  

• Ability to invert input from XML by placing a minus sign in front of the input
  
• Updated the boolean type inputs for input controllers to return -1 or 1 rather than 0 or 1. This allows the use of the input controllers min/max values to be used in conjunction with the boolean input types.
  
• Add firingDelay XML Option to Existing Weapons
  
• Hidden XML Option for Self Destruct and Burn Time on Rockets.
  
• Add Support for input="Activate1" (that’s AG1) on InputControllers
  
• The “disableAircraftCollisions” attribute on guns can now be used to prevent your bullets from colliding with your plane.
  
• Missile XML now supports a 'maxSpeed' attribute. Existing planes (but not new ones) with low mass missiles will now auto-upgrade to a higher than normal max speed.
  
• Added "invertType" option to the InputController. Defaults to "axis" for most parts and to "output" for rotators.
  
• XML support for scaling bullets (now set with "bulletScale", not the part's scale - old planes auto-upgraded).
  
• XML support for disabling gun muzzle flash ("muzzleFlash" - true/false)
  

• Added Unity version check to the mod builder window.
  
• Removed warning about multiple mods loading the same exact assembly.
  
• Added load priority for mods to better manage mod dependencies.
  

Thank you so much to all of the beta testers who helped us squash an insane number of bugs!
