Version 4.752 pushed to default build
Hi all
So driven by the fact that the Index controllers need support in the main build I've finally got round to updating the default build to the latest beta.
The development of the betas has included a lot of new features, bug fixes, plugin, sdk and Unity version updates. I've gathered as much of the most important ones together for you to peruse below.
[edit]
Whirligig 4.757
So based on the comments and in an effort to fix as much of the issues as possible I've made a few more changes.
[edit][edit]
Whirligig 4.7572
Changed the way that riftcat works so that it should work with gamepads now.
Added another fix for countries that use "," instead of "." for decimals. Hopefully this will fix any problems for people from these countries. Let me know if you still have problems.
Now back to the previous updates.
New features and improvements
Updates SDK's, Plugin's, Unity
Bug Fixes
If you discover bugs
This is quite a big update with a lot of changes to the core structure of Whirligig. Because of this I might of failed to see new bugs that I've added. Please get in touch here or post on the Steam forum or email me [email protected] I really want to make sure this is a quality update for all users of Whirligig and build a good bases to go forward. The more feedback I can get the better I can make forthcoming updates.
If you have Issues
There are a couple of things you can try. Try resetting the player completely:

You can also return to the previous default build in the betas. To change between betas follow this guide I made:

The version of the previous default is
whirligig_early_access_v.4.72
If things are really bad for everyone I'll need to revert back to the previous default but hopefully with you're help I can fix any of the issues you might be having and we can stick with this version going forward.
And Finally
So these are the updates in this default build release. I hope you like them. I'll be working on some small things in the next update which will occur over the next couple of weeks. These will most likely be small changes to fix some UI bugs and improve the stability. If you have any problems let me know so I can include fixes in these updates as well.
And finally finally, thanks for all your support and I look forward to hearing your thought.
Until next time, happy watching :)

- Index controller defaults added. If you are upgrading rather than running for the first time go into inputs and hit defaults.
- Steam and Oculus controller code updated to improve the left right handed support and general improve the detection and working of it.
