Summary (AI)

Approximately Up patch 1.0.008 resolves several issues, including fixes to the Axis Rotometer and Autohemisphere Solar Panels behavior. Cable holders now share paint with cables, and the RCS Controller front panel has swapped Yaw and Roll labels for consistency with output ports. The Manual can be accessed while seated, and negative speed inputs in the BPS are now treated as absolute values. Improvements also include localization fixes for world names, a new color selection method for the Whiteboard, adjusted Solar Storm strength for safer travel from the Moon to Basalt, and various UI enhancements.

Tip: expand all for quick scanning.

Fixed Autohemisphere Solar Panels not returning to their original position after leaving Fly Mode
Added painting support for cable holders — when you paint a cable, its holder (the small stick connecting it to the nearest frame) will now be painted as well
Swapped Yaw and Roll on the front panel of the RCS Controller to match the layout of the output ports on the back and reduce confusion
You can now open the Manual while sitting in a seat
Added support for inputting negative speed values into the BPS (will be interpreted as absolute value)
Fixed world names not being displayed when playing with someone using a completely different localization (for example, an English player joining a Russian player's lobby)
Changed Whiteboard color switching — you can now select a color by clicking on it instead of using the mouse wheel. I believe this feels much more intuitive. The mouse wheel will be reserved for a future update that should add pen size adjustment
Adjusted Solar Storm strength. Previously, there was a chance to encounter a deadly Solar Storm while traveling from the Moon to Basalt. That route should now be about 99% safe — I still left a very, very, very small chance of burning up just for fun
Updated the Rock Obsession radar icon from a filled icon to an outlined one for better readability
Fixed seat binding labels rapidly changing their positions on screen and jumping around
