philipp Posted July 19, 2012 Report Posted July 19, 2012 A heads up from the new CRJHQ :CRJ 1.5 brings a few fixes for X-Plane 10.10 compatibility, yet another small bump up in framerate, a few improvements in navdata processing, and two cool new features.The first is easier fuel loading. Now you can enter the exact amount of fuel you need in the CDU, and the CRJ will fill its tanks appropriately, without stumbling over X-Plane's idiosyncratic behavior of filling the center tank before the wing tanks.It's really simple, but saves you a lot of headaches with otherwise possible fuel system misconfigurations:The second thing is a really nice addition for iPad owners, who want to enhance their cockpit experience:I'm proud to introduce RRC - retina remote CDU - which makes the iPad an even better companion in your CRJ cockpit. The new renderings were done by Andreas Guecklhorn (@Gourmador) who has just learned Blender and did the CDU as an exercise. He not only did these gorgeous 2K textures but also the slick 3d-effect of the screen and the subtle glow of the text, like you'd see it on the CRT display in a real CRJ cockpit (no LCD screens in there yet!). I added some Javascript magic for better usability and day/night modes. Also, it is now a fully iPad-aware HTML5 App - you no longer have this browser-like feeling with resizing and moving - it feels as solid as a native iOS-App.This is a 2048x1024 screenshot right from the iPad. It must be viewed in 1:1 mode or the subtle glow effect will look overdone. So if you're not viewing it on an iPad, make sure you display it pixel-by-pixel, not scaled, and realize how small your computer screen actually is...http://philippmuenze...rj/IMG_0007.PNGCRJ 1.5 is a free update for all customers, and will be available after the beta-phase of X-Plane 10.10 is over.Cheers,Philipp 1 Quote
Mike Hotel Posted July 19, 2012 Report Posted July 19, 2012 (edited) The CRJ is the most expensive XP aircraft I have ever owned - now I need a new iPad, too. Good one! Edited July 20, 2012 by Mike Hotel Quote

aviatop Posted July 21, 2012 Report Posted July 21, 2012 And what about CRJ dynamics in 10.10? Is it still flying like a rocket near the ground level or changes have been made in this way? Quote
scubajuan_new Posted August 21, 2012 Report Posted August 21, 2012 How about new renderings for a retina display on a macbook pro? just got this puppy Quote
Ahmed Posted August 26, 2012 Report Posted August 26, 2012 Will that work with the ipod-touch? lol jk is it possible to have a little bumb up in the FPS for version 9?I was about to crash the screen with 10 FPS climbing Quote
FloB Posted September 12, 2012 Report Posted September 12, 2012 (edited) Hi Philipp,does the "fixes" for 10.10 include the new per pixel-dragging?Dialing the AP and radios unfortunately is a pain like it is now...either too twichy (radios) or too clumsily (AP). Any improvement in that regard would be great.Love the CRJ, hardly fly any other plane since I own it.CheersFloPS: And now thinking the first time about getting an ipad...but have to win a lottery first Edited September 12, 2012 by FloB Quote
