Enhancements to Unreal Engine Option
This version of the FLAMES Unreal Engine option has been enhanced to add several new features. In addition, the option has been updated to use Unreal Engine 5.3, as have all 22.1 Unreal games and game projects.
User Interface Themes
The new Themes window in FORGE allows you to specify the colors applied to the user interface of FLAMES applications. A given combination of colors can be saved as a “theme”, and the theme used by each FLAMES application can be specified.
Support for Dongle Licensing
FLAMES 22.1 introduces support for USB dongle licensing. The licensed product will execute on any computer to which the dongle is attached, which allows you to easily execute a product on multiple computers.
Support for IPv6
Our FLAMES Interactive Server now supports Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) for all network communications.
Unreal Flight Simulator
We are excited to release our new example flight simulator and computer-generated forces (CGF) simulation developed using the FLAMES Simulation Framework and Unreal Engine. The source code for the Unreal game project and the CGF modeling classes are available for free.
Enhancements to Content
With the release of FLAMES version 22.1, many additions and enhancements were made to the content available in the FLAMES Store.
Launcher Enhancements
We’ve made several improvements to the FLAMES Launcher to provide a better user experience.
