Summary (AI)

Patch 0.4 for Lakehopper introduces the Glacier, a new single-engine floatplane available as a game option or as a bare fuselage in Manypeaks. Various usability improvements include adding locking door handles for the Glacier, securing the Magnoprop cores to reduce visual clutter, and updating the propeller sprite for better transparency. The binder received additional Glacier-specific information and expanded seaplane instructions, alongside corrections to typos and inaccuracies. Several bug fixes address issues with control inputs, instrument panel indicators, plane respawning, and camera behavior.

Tip: expand all for quick scanning.

In the Glacier, the short Magnoprop core is right behind the instrument panel and was getting in the way all the time. It became necessary to add some way to secure it so it's not constantly highlighted. The same wrench tool is used to secure the locking ring.
Tweaked the propeller spinning sprite to make it more transparent and less distracting. This was critical for the Glacier, since you're looking straight through it the whole time you're flying.
The entire door being interactable was distracting during flight. All Glacier doors now have a handle that must be unlocked first and then the whole door can swing open.
