Create - Xaero's map

v1.0.34

Copycats

• Copycat blocks (panels, steps, etc.) finally render as whatever material you put on them instead of a gray blob. Works on ship hulls, attached contraptions, and free-standing contraptions.

Thrusters

• Thrusters from Create Propulsion: Simulated and Create: Cosmonautics now show their exhaust on the map: a bright white-blue jet at the nozzle that trails off into a stream following the craft's actual flight path. It arcs through turns, stretches with speed, and lingers briefly after engine cutoff.
• Firing, shutdown, and throttle changes show up on the map in real time.

Contrails

• Flying craft now leave contrails. They form a ways behind the ship (farther back the faster you're going), then slowly drift apart and fade out over about half a minute.
• Contrails stay on the map even far from the craft, so you can scroll around the world map and see the whole ribbon until it dissipates.
• All of this was built with performance in mind, so it costs basically nothing while cruising and cleans up after itself.
