Hey,
Just a quick update regarding the next free version (1.2) updates. I've been working on lots of small fixes, mostly for XP11, but there are some new features, which makes life easier flying around with the Let
Updates:
Reflective windshield
Reflective instrument glasses
Added cockpit view limits, so you can't get inside the instrument panel and fall out on the side window - handy if you're flying with TrackIR
A/P update by @drwindows which was linked in a previous post (thank you again!)
Increased the instrument lamps' strength, looks better at night
Removed the background texture from behind the instrument panel - was a "hack" for instrument reflections which I never finished properly
Decreased ADF freq selector's strength, makes it easier to set
Updated flight model: tuned trims, flaps and engine parameters for XP11
Working Nav2
Added TO/FROM indicator for HSI
Removed reflections from outside OBJ's, not needed anymore
Pitot overheat at low speeds (failure)
TODO
Cockpit lights to be set to 0 when cold start
Flashing ANN instead of steady light
Side panel LIT texture fix (some elements light up at night, which shouldn't)
Normal map fix for outside objects
And the ones which I forgot to add to my list
Update outside OBJ files with latest XP11 features (reflections, PBR textures)
Kollsman window in the 2nd altimeter
RPM&TRQ tends to stall after a proper shutdown + restart
Hope I can keep up the current pace fixing the bugs and make a beta release in few weeks. Fingers crossed.
In the meantime, I'm working in the v2, which will include lots of custom systems: you'll really have to read the manual to fly this beauty properly otherwise, you can end up having no engine at about 4000 ft
