# 0.7.1 ## Fixed - **Modal dialogs are WORLD-PLACED and follow you if you look away.** The respawn and pause panels sit at a spot with clear line of sight, face you, and ease to a fresh spot after ~2s outside a generous cone. `placement="world"` on ``; the rules are pure and tested in `dialog-placement`. This replaces three compensations that were each fixing a symptom: head-locking (jittered with a jostling death-cam), riding the body frame (put it at knee height), and rendering on top (painted in front but became **untouchable**, because picking is geometric). It also fixes the case none of them could — dying in cockpit view with the camera inside a hillside, where nothing "just in front of you" helps. - **`turnRateDeg` returns exactly what you set.** Converting through radians is lossy — `30` derived back as `29.999999999999996`, which is what a slider readout or a saved scene would show. It now remembers the value you supplied together with the radians it produced, so a later write to `turnRate` is detected exactly and the view derives fresh. Still one stored value. ## Added - **`flightStage()`** — a setting an aircraft can actually operate in: ground, sky and fog at flight scale, a library, a sun configured for the ground it lights, and **a death panel that respawns you**. Takes a plane FACTORY, not an instance, because respawn has to build a new one — passing an instance is what made a crash unrecoverable. Returns `{ elements, aircraft }` rather than an array, since the current aircraft changes on respawn and a captured reference goes stale. The clouds demo lost 22 lines converting to it. - **`tosijs-3d/demo-utils`** — the scene-setup helpers every live example uses are now published, so **code copied off a doc page resolves in your project**. Previously 38 examples across 33 files imported a bare `demo-utils` that no consumer could resolve, and since the demo goes first on every page it was the first thing anyone copied. They ship with an explicit stability disclaimer: **dev helpers, not API.** They can change or vanish in a patch, they are tuned to flatter a doc page rather than your game, and production code should compose `b3dSun`/`b3dSkybox`/ `b3dGround` directly. Vetted rather than published wholesale — the module was not shippable as-is: - `orbitCam` takes **`alphaDeg`/`betaDeg`**; the radian `alpha`/`beta` still work and are converted, so existing snippets keep running. - Options are typed — the two `Record` signatures are gone. - Ground helpers take a **`texture` URL** instead of exporting root-absolute asset paths that resolve only on this site. - `demoSun` uses the **auto shadow-size sentinel** rather than hard-wiring 2048 over the device-tier budget. - `volumetricDemo`, `impactMarker` and the asset constants stay **private** — they are page-specific, not API.
