Change Log (updated 25 April 2015)

[Matthew King]

Version 2.1 will contain the following (Est 15 March):


Fixes

- Autobrakes option always sets to 2 despite the value imputed on the user profile.

- Before landing checklist does not commence when the aircraft is within the nm designated on the user profile page; this has been changed to initiate when the aircraft fall below the designated AGL...please update the User Profile

- Reset VS option disengages the speed hold mode...speed hold is now forced

- Seat belts option does not result in the copilot setting the seat belts to off/on when above/below this option.

- Trip Fuel does not allow you to input more than 99999 lbs of fuel.

- Est Power option causes slow interface

- Fixed "Total Fuel used" on log book

- Fixed Trip time on log book (NOT FIXED W/ V2.1)

- Fixed "OPT" Tab; clicking the option failed to dynamically update the appropriate variables (e.g. clicking on/off GPWS now dynamically turns on/off the option)

- Fixed duplicate Transition Alt Calls

- Fixed "TOLD" data updating Vspeeds and Flap Retraction Speeds while in flight, which created erroneous V2 calls


Additions

- Add force flight mode; some models (e.g. Majestic DASH-8) do not utilize FSX internal engine components. Thus, it's necessary to force the "After Start" flight mode.

- Add detail explanation for all interactive checklist option.

- Add flap/gear restriction speed warning (i.e. the copilot will warn the pilot if he/she tries to extend the components while the Aircraft is above the operating speed).

- Add Arm Spoiler option (i.e. copilot will now dis-engage the arm spoiler option on takeoff and arm it when you're within 4 miles of the destination airport)

- Add POH link to Aircraft Profile/Kneeboard

- Add MZFW option to the Aircraft Profile; option used on Loadsheet

- Add Checklist Flows option; Copilot will perform checklist flows automatically at the appropriate flight phase(i.e. when the checklist phases is activated)*

- Add Copilot now retracts flaps on landing when "Mng Flaps" option is selected via the Aircraft Profile option

- Add Copilot now retracts spoilers on landing when "Mng spoilers" option is selected via the Aircraft Profile option

- Add Copilot now resets autobrakes on landing when "Set AutoBrakes" option is selected via the Aircraft Profile option

- Add Takeoff briefing to interactive checklist (Copilot ensures speeds have been entered in the V1, VR, V2, and Flaps 0 numbered boxes on the SPDS tab)

- Add Landing briefing to interactive checklist (Copilot ensures Vref speeds have been entered in Vref numbered box on the SPDS tab)

- Add Default Pause from airport (nm) via User Profile options

Version 2.2 will contain the following (est 15 May):

Fixes

- Fixed checklist items
-- Altitude, Heading (166 and 167) and Vertical Speed (293) interactive checklist will now proceed to next call (without hitting "ctrl") when these values are not set to "0."

- Fixed Auto Pilot Settings interactive checklist Option (number 46 nd 49)
-- FSFO will now proceed to next call (without hitting "ctrl") when the heading and altitude selector does not equal "0" and the master autopilot is "off."

- Fixed ZULU/GMT; time is now correct

- Fixed total trip time; this was reported fixed in V2.1, but that was inaccurate...it's fixed now

- Fixed Flap calls; the 5th position was not being called on Aircraft w/ 6 flap settings (e.g 757/767).

- Fixed Flap calls; the 2nd, 3rd, and 5th position was not being called on Aircraft w/ 8 flap settings (e.g 737).

Additions

- Add the ability to update airport/runway data via Peter Dawson MakeRwy tool.
-- This will allow you to update airports at will
-- Now accepts 3 digits/characters ICAOs

- Add Taxi and Descent Checklist phases
-- Taxi checklist is initiated when the aircraft's ground speed exceeds 9 mph
-- Descent checklist is initiated when the aircraft is within 50 nm of the destination

- Add Copilot Sets Auto Pilot setting (e.g. heading, ILS, Alt and IAS) according to the selected Take Off Runway
-- Must have Tune ILS/RWY selected via the Aircraft Profile screen

- Add advanced random payload options

- Add weight manifest and summary to ACARS, GRND page

- Add Import FS9 flight plan option

- Add 80, 60, 40 knots calls on landing
-- Must have "Call 80 Kts" checked via Aircraft Profile menu.

- Add N1 Panel
-- Some Aircraft don't have the ability to reduce thrust on takeoff; thus, I created a generic N1/Thrust reduction within FSFOV2....works great

- Add Failure Panel
-- Fail any system at any time...

- Add copilot call (copilot will inform the pilot when nav, alt, hdg, fd, A/T, and appr modes have been engaged/disengaged. Additionaly, he will advise when loc and GS are "alive")
-- Aircraft must be in the air and "FO Calls" must be selected via the Aircraft Profile....

- Add Random failure mode
-- It's now possible to simulate aircraft instruments/equipment failures
-- ADF Radio
-- Altimeters
-- Attitude Indicator
-- Airspeed Indicatior
-- COM1 Radio
-- Compass
-- Fuel Gauge
-- NAV1 Radio
-- Transponder
-- VSI
-- Engine failures (1 through 4)
-- Flaps
-- Spoiles
-- Landing Gear
-- Pitot Heat
-- Reverse Thrust (1 through 4)
-- Fuel Leaks

- Removed "Eng Data" from ACARS Prog screen 2 of 3
-- Added/Replaced with System Diagnostic screen to enable users to determine aircraft failures (see random failures above)
