For most future updates, starting with the current updates that have begun testing (SR2X G1000 1.4.0 and SR2X Entegra 1.2.0) we will begin opening public beta access beyond just our Discord, but will additionally provide access to our customers here. To join the beta, fill out the request form here and we'll get you added as soon as we can. Details on the current beta: SR20/22 G1000 1.4.0: - Improved maintenance system with expanded procedures and more detailed readouts to distinguish between states and mechanic actions. - Physics model improvements including addressing the starting behaviors by addressing issues in the fuel priming logic. - 3D overhaul for windows and ice visualization system (IVS), which looks much better and should increase sim performance! - Proper Instrument Brightness Knob Behavior with G1000 Screen Dimming See the full current changelog for 1.4.0 here: https://torques.im/SZzJ12 SR20/22 Entegra 1.2.0: - Improved maintenance system with expanded procedures and more detailed readouts to distinguish between states and mechanic actions. - Physics model improvements including addressing the starting behaviors by addressing issues in the fuel priming logic. - 3D overhaul for windows and ice visualization system (IVS), which looks much better and should increase sim performance!

duly noted and fixed. the "little aircraft" on the HSI is part of the "panel glass overlays" and simply turned off during development. It will be there for release . The altitmeter adjust bug is white (supposed to be orange)...there's no hole in the yoke for the control lock....and .....***. SUCH is the life of quality control before release! I'm a lot pickier this time around than I was 10 years ago it seems.

The Challenger 650 has a comprehensive GPS/GNSS simulation, as well as fully realised Inertial Reference Systems. Some interesting behaviour can be seen. The avionics will need to retrieve the GPS almanac on first start, just like the real thing, except the simulation grabs it over the internet (at a realistic data rate) rather than using the satellite antenna. When you first load the jet, it may take some time to get a GPS fix. Remember getting a brand new SatNav (remember those?!) out the box and having to wait 20 mins until it could find itself, well now you know it was downloading the GPS almanac, just like the Challenger. When the avionics have a GPS position, they may indicate GNSS ONLY. This is because the Inertial Reference Systems take some time to align. Longer at higher latitudes, up to about 18 minutes if you try starting at CFS Alert. Less time on the equator. The IRSs need to "feel" the motion of the world turning beneath them to find true north and establish position, and the world moves more linear distance in the same time at the equator compared with the poles. As the IRSs are not available for navigation at this time, you may see a GNSS ONLY message on the CDU. This will clear when the IRSs align fully. You can even see the time to align by displaying the IRS STATUS on the MFD. Use MFD DATA, then DSPL MENU buttons on the CDU to choose the display page. Once the IRS have aligned, you're good to go.

Yes they are, and we should have put them in the Operations Reference doc. Sorry about that. PBN/A1L1B1C1D1O1S2T1 M-SBDE1E2E3FGHIJ1J4J5J7M3RWXYZ/LB1V1D1
