We appreciate your feedback and support! Enjoy these latest updates, and stay tuned to the forum as we continually announce the latest happenings.

There was a misconfigured object file in the 1.0.1 initial update where the heads of the pilots could disappear at certain weights. This has now been patched on the installer side, and we have the patch files here if you prefer to not run the installer again. We also have a quick adjustment to night lighting brightness. SR22_PILOTS1.obj goes into SR22 (and SR22TN)/objects/PPL and replaces the file with the same name SR22_INT_1_LIT.dds goes into SR22 (and SR22TN)/objects and replaces the file with the same name If you don't want to do it manually, you can always just rerun the installer and it will handle it all for you SR22_PILOTS1.obj SR22_INT_1_LIT.dds

Their heads weigh that much???? Keep up the good work guys, this is my #1 bird in the bird cage for sure. Here's a thought on the disappearing heads, have them fly off if you use the CAPS system..

There was a swap out of the installer mid-way through the process. If you get this warning redownloading the installer should resolve it.

I've been incorporating the sim into my cockpit so needed all the commands and datarefs as well. So anyone needing them I might save you some time. Hope this helps! As a note this is only for the TN verison - however I would imagine they are both using the same refs. Commands.txt Datarefs.txt

That's normal; we only implemented that effect for landing lights. As I recall X-Plane's API for plugins doesn't give us enough information about where the strobes and nav lights are to do it for them.

Unfortunately not - maintaining the ability to detect and run different code for XP10 and XP11 has grown in scope, there are new datarefs in XP11 that we take advantage of and the new flightmodel. It was simply not feasible anymore, especially in light of the small numbers of users still on XP10. Cheers, Jan

So as one does I purchased my 14 hour old SR-22 on FSE. Now ferrying it up to the Caribbean from Central Brazil. After a 4.5 hour flight I prepared for descent into Barbados. I knew thunderstorms where ahead but winds were reporting 11kts gusting to 15kts with potential shear in the area. Well long story short 16nm from the airport the shear kicked in and erased any thoughts about an "on rails" flight model (it flew so well I questioned it a bit). Once I hit shear it abruptly noses up, I fought 3 to 4 of these before it caught be off guard. On the 5th nose up I lost all nose down attitude the plane immediately went 90 degrees straight and proceeded to stall sending the nose backwards over the tail into an almost uncontrollable series of loops and just when I thought I had it under control, upside down and headed to the earth with throttles chopped I went to pull it back level. Just as I was about to breathe a shy of relief another shear hit that culminated in me just starting to enter a flat spin at 3500 feet. It was a battle from start to finish about 45 seconds into fighting for recovery I looked at my altitude and saw me broaching 1800 feet, I had roughly 800 feet to make a decision. Can this be saved? Should I go for the CAPS? I was on the edge - decided to continue to fight - at ~950 feet recovery happened, I waited too long but I did it! What could have been a disaster of pilot error flying into conditions they probably shouldn't, low on fuel and oxygen - nowhere else to go I saved it. I was now 8 miles from the airport at which I decided I would finish at 1500 feet, shaking from adrenaline. It's the first time in a VERY long time that a simulator actually had me sitting on the ramp, engine off, thinking holy cow that was hard, interesting, exciting, scary, challenging and a true practice of years of simulator practice paying off in a very practical way. I felt accomplished! To the group who made the plane and continue to improve it. Thank you - this weekend has been fun, but this afternoon has been a resharpening on things I need to practice more and be a little less lazy about - flight planning w/ alternate routes, stall and spin recovery, and most importantly having fun! And importantly - I now know the flight model is pretty darn accurate! ;-)

Flying west in the evening, not good Idea Too Many rays Just right

Cool giveaway! Any of that would go great with my simulator! I'm glad to see you guys aren't totally insane. When I first saw the topic I thought it would be the full RSG Cirrus Perspective package and thought I would have to hire a bot farm to help me win LOL!
