|Here it is, the latest official version of the Extra500: release 1.1.0!<br/> | |||
<br/> | |||
The Model now has reached "production" status and a small list of changes you can find below:<br/> | |||
* Engine+fuel: realistic flame-out, fuel flow to collector compartment, anti ice influence on TOT, improved oil press and temp model<br/> | |||
* Aerodynamics: flap performance, elevator-30deg-flaps authority improvement<br/> | |||
* User interface: interactive checklists<br/> | |||
* Sounds: corrected sounds for test, CWS and AP disc<br/> | |||
* Model: added interior, yokes<br/> | |||
* Avionics: IFD moving map, automatic NAV tuning, automatic NAV switching, magnetic variation fixes<br/> | |||
* Autopilot: added OBS and fly vectors mode, significant improvement of coupled ILS performance | |||
<br/> | |||
This version does perform a bit better on my computer, but this has to do with improvements to FGFS, not of the aircraft model. So if your computer was struggling with the initial version, we recommend to use current FGFS git/nightly builds or wait until 3.2 comes out! | |||
