Cameron Posted August 7 Report Posted August 7 (edited) Hello All, This will serve as an official announcement that we have released update version 1.8 for the CL650. All customers who have purchased the CL650 up till now have been sent an e-mail by X-Aviation with complete instructions on how to obtain your update. We have made this a very simple process! For those that purchase the CL650 from today forward, your purchased download will already be updated to version 1.8 for you. What if I didn't get the update e-mail? If you did not receive your update e-mail don't fret! X-Aviation has updated our system to allow all customers to update with ease, regardless of whether you received an e-mail for the update! Here's what to do: 1. Login to your X-Aviation account here: https://www.x-aviation.com/catalog/account_history.php 2. Find your original Challenger 650 download and re-download the file. It will download as the latest version! The following is a list of additions/fixes included: Release Highlights: Added support for Zink rendering mode in XP12. This should provide a good amount of performance uplift to AMD GPU users. Nvidia users should see some improvements to framerate stability. Hovering mouse over PFD & MFD will now bring up semi-transparent popups for DCP & CCP, to allow easier manipulation of display settings without having to look down on the pedestal. The forward equipment bay is now modeled, including the main battery disconnect, TRUs and all CBs. Use this to disconnect the main battery now, instead of the Ground Services menu. Aft equipment bay isn't complete yet, so use the menu method to disconnect the APU battery. The radome can be opened to allow looking at the antenna & nose HIDs lights more easily. FLC DESCENT mode now retards throttles more slowly and stops moving after 4 seconds, releasing manual control back to the pilot. You may need to manually adjust throttles after this to achieve fully idle FLC descents. When VRAM-limited, texture blurries on the cockpit textures should be much less frequent now, since we've marked them as "high-res" and so X-Plane should prioritize them over other textures. Changing cockpit lighting now immediately causes X-Plane to refresh the reflection cubemap to avoid windshield glare at night in XP12 Worked around issues with some FMOD sound triggers not working in XP12, even though the exact same FMOD sounds work fine in XP11. Retuned the "buzzsaw" sound to be more audible and closer to the real airplane both outside and inside. Several hundred bugfixes (see full commit log below). Bugfixes Commit Log: 3DMODEL: Wings 3DMODEL: Exterior labels 3DMODEL: Vertical Tail - Added Canadian Flag 3DMODEL: Exterior Labels - Fixed animation for labels on nose equipment door 3DMODEL: Circuit Breakers - A lot of clean up.

nicofiz Posted August 8 Report Posted August 8 Amazing work as usual, the popups on PFD and MFD are so helpful! 1 Quote
MTRNord Posted August 8 Report Posted August 8 Are there plans to make the screens work on Linux Steam (wayland) XP12 version? These people have no zink bridge and no screens render while the plane itself works. This only affects the screens. Not sure what log files you need, but the main log.txt has no crashes or similar.

jenijek Posted August 8 Report Posted August 8 (edited) Thank you very much! There has been a noticeable improvement in personnel stability. xplane 11 !gpu and cpu ! Edited August 8 by jenijek Quote
N330CT Posted August 8 Report Posted August 8 Nicely done on the update. Love the ccp/dcp popups they are very helpful. Its also going to be nice to put oil in it without having to shut of monitors! Stable and good frames....great job. Quote
wyhhero Posted August 9 Report Posted August 9 (edited) This is so great, so I did a test at once I got the notification message, haven't touched many parts yet but I can see at least the Sat phone back to work in X-Plane 12 and I finally can ask Jenny to prepare everything ready high from the sky!! One more noticed is the Flex setting for thrust seems working fine and better than before. (I remember in 1.7, when Flex is set, the thrust limit will be overridden with the default value after I finished the first climb phase and begin the second one. Now the thrust limit always complies with my Flex setting which is good! Appreciate for the update!!) Just one issue I'm encountering is the warning of "Main battery off" while just displayed when I was pushed back and ready about to set out. I cannot find any options in the Challenger 650 menu like "Main Battery Connection" to fix this. I think maybe it was because I was too excited when inspecting the new version and opened the front hatch doors newly introduced in 1.8 and broke some circus wires? Anyway, will do a check again later on. Update: Ahaa, got it below: Release Highlights: The forward equipment bay is now modelled, including the main battery disconnect, TRUs and all CBs. Use this to disconnect the main battery now, instead of the Ground Services menu. I know I should have taken good care of this precious toy not to break it~~ Appreciate for this detailed implementation, make me feel more realistic to play like a real thing~ Will fly more to enjoy and experience this update more~~ Appreciate for all Devs for bring this wonderful masterpiece! Thank you all! ~~ Update with screenshot: Really took me a little while to find but is feeling good to discover the "Main Battery" connector hotspot. Could be accidentally disconnected by my curiosity when open this hatch door in the night with poor light sight and touched everywhere by mouse click... Edited August 9 by wyhhero 2 Quote
