• Support for aircraft-specific EIS and MFD Engine page layouts, including optional Lean Assist and Fuel Calculator functions.

G1000 Nxi

• Fixed a bug where the XPDR keypad entry would break when the XPDR mode selector button was pressed while already in XPDR mode.
• Fixed an issue where the MFD navigation data bar DEST field displayed the incorrect airport in certain cases.
• Fixed incorrect calculations for MFD navigation data bar fields related to the destination (DTG, LDG, FOD) in certain cases. These values are now also consistent with the airport displayed in the DEST field.
• Fixed an issue where the last digit of COM frequencies could not be entered with the controlpad.
• Fixed an issue where the Control Knob events did not reset the Control Mode reset timer
• Fixed approach minimums GCU keypad entry not working
• Fixed an issue where the flight plan could become corrupted after removing an approach in rare cases.

Garmin GNS430W / GNS530W

• Fixed an issue where the autopilot would not function correctly after loading or reloading the GNS instrument in the middle of a flight session (e.g. when hot-swapping instruments in certain airplanes).
• Prevent instruments not loading correctly when hot-swapping.
• Fixed an issue where GPS signal could degrade inappropriately during long flight sessions.
• Fixed an issue where the flight plan could become corrupted after removing an approach in rare cases.
• For aircraft developers:
  • Added support for configuring the index used by the LNAV Computer using the panel.xml tag; where this is not set it will default to 0 to preserve support.
  • Added support for setting the autopilot max bank angle using the panel.xml tag. Where it’s not set, this will default to 20.
  • LNAV data simvars will now be published with indexes according to the LNAV Computer index.
  • Added support for disabling the autopilot through XML configuration using the “” tag.

WT21

• FMC: Fixed FPLN RECALL not working on the co-pilot FMC.
• For aircraft developers:
  • Added plugin system to allow third party developers to customize and extend the functionality of the WT21.
  • Added alternate style option for the artificial horizon on color schemes via CSS variables (documentation follows soon).
  • Removed CJ4 specific code from the WT21 and moved it to CJ4 plugins.
  • CDU: Ported CDU to new framework in Avionics SDK to enable extensibility by third party developers.

Aircraft

• Corrected a tooltip which indicated a value in celsius degrees rather than angular degrees

General

• Improved performance of glass cockpit heavy airplanes (ex. 747) that use the Coherent/JS tech stack.
• Initial work on improving plane and livery model matching for live traffic aircraft. It will now try to partially match aircraft types of the same airlines, if a specific livery or model is not installed. As a last resort it will try to fall back to an airline that generally serves the current airport or region.
• Known Issue: The nameplates of AI traffic can show a wrong aircraft type ICAO.
• Ground Contact Resolution Improvements
  • More accurate ground contact model.
  • Optional soft ground collision model for tires / flexible gears.
  • Enabled new soft gears on C172 and Cabri.
  • New high accuracy physics system to enable vibrations and micro movements.
• Added multi rotor support for helicopters (Chinook, dual rotor, etc.)

Boeing 787-10 / Boeing 747-8i

• AT: Fixed an issue where autothrottle would not automatically activate if armed and TO/GA pressed below 400 feet RA on approach.
• AT: Fixed TO/GA activation logic on approach.
• ND: Improved the fix info distance circle projection at higher latitudes.
• ND: Fixed a bug where the flightplan would not be displayed on the map.
• [787] SYS: Fixed an issue where the engine gen control lights would flicker “OFF” on full engine power because of engine combustion issues caused by fuel starvation.
