20.06.2019: REFLEX Software Update V6.00.0:
- The mouse can now be controlled remotely, so
that the program can be operated conveniently
via the connected transmitter. The simulation
can be started and stopped by double-clicking
the assigned transmitters pushbutton.
- The simulation can now also be started by remote
control via a short throttle or pitch pulse.
- The simulation now also accommodates human
movements of the model pilot and thus appears
even more alive and natural. The intensity of
the effect can be adjusted via the simulation
parameter "Imitate Human Motion" on the Camera
tab.
- Dragging the direction of view with the mouse as
well as zooming in/out with the mouse wheel has
been improved and supplemented by an inertia
effect.
- On systems with touch screen (e.g. Tablet PC),
it is now possible to drag the direction of
view and zoom in/out via multitouch gestures.
- The user can now intuitively touch and move the
selected model by mouse or touch gesture. The
physically correct behaviour of the model
provides an even more convincing and immediate
experience.
- When using the Hover and Torque trainer, a 6x6
meter area is marked on the airfield, in which
the model is to be maintained.
- The effective prevention of pixel flicker has
improved the rendering quality of models outside
of the near range.
- Also in Virtual Reality mode the simulation now
continues after a crash, even if the model is
only limitedly airworthy. Emergency landings and
autorotation procedures can therefore be trained
more effectively.
- Various dialog windows have been revised to
ensure a pleasant and smooth user experience,
especially if the Windows settings under
"System"/"Display"/"Scale and layout"/"Change
the size of text, apps, and other items" were
set higher than 100%.
- The radio display can now be scaled more easily
and also snaps centred.
- When recalling certain dialogs, the last
parameter changed is automatically re-selected,
making it easier to adjust individual
parameters.
- The simulation now always starts with the rpm
that corresponds to the respective position of
the throttle stick, flight mode or autorotation
switch.
- Ground contact of propellers and rotors are now
simulated more accurately.
- The helicopter simulation now also considers a
possible imbalance in the main rotor system.
- The model context menu has been extended by the
new functions "Transfer model to initial
position" and "Reerect model".
- The user experience has been improved by
displaying a splash screen immediately after
program launch.
- If an attempt is made to make changes to the
general channel assignment for a model with
model-specific channel assignment, a new message
box informs that the changes will have no effect
on the current model.
- Several bug fixes and performance optimizations
have been made.

23.08.2019: REFLEX Software Update V6.01.0:
- REFLEX XTRČ now supports the Virtual Reality
APIs Oculus and OpenVR. This allows the use of
almost any Virtual Reality headset offered
currently and in the future. The revised
"Virtual Reality settings" dialog allows the
selection of the API to be used depending on
availability on the particular system.

--------------------------------------------------
03.11.2019: REFLEX Software Update V6.02.0:
- REFLEX XTRČ now supports the Stickmover from
AVIrem. With this revolutionary training device,
stick movements of both live simulations and
recorded flights can be felt physically in real
world. Activation and configuration is done via
the new dialog AVIrem Stickmover of the Radio
menu.
- REFLEX XTRČ now also supports the YUNEEC USB
Simulator Connector, which allows wireless
connection of all YUNEEC remote controls. All
YUNEEC specific features including telemetry can
be simulated just like with the real thing. For
extended functions of the YUNEEC USB Simulator
Connector a new submenu has been created in the
Radio menu.
- The Recorder menu has been extended by the new
submenu Trim flight, which can be used to remove
undesired sequences at the beginning or at the
end of a recorded flight.
- The Radio display has been enhanced by a new
pushbutton that allows to replay recorded
flights in auto-repeat mode.
- Several bug fixes have been made.
