ceux qui avaient déjà acheté la version 1.1 ont recu un mail avec un lien pointant vers l´endroit ou télécharger gratuitement la mise à jour, le lien contenait le numéro client et le code personnel pour montrer patte blanche pour pouvoir télécharger le fichier ( 68 Mo en fait).
Voilà les ajouts, en grande partie :
So, for those interested in just a few of the things we have updated in this version- here is a NON-CONCLUSIVE LIST.....
WARNING NOTE: This list is pieced together from my unofficial notes- and email from the developers on the team. It is not complete- and it´s not well formatted.... but it´ll give you a pretty sound idea of what you have coming up!
FMC/CDU:
==================================================
=========
New pages
- RTE DATA page
- PROGRESS page 2 ( head / cross winds, LNAV Xtrack error etc)
- REF NAV DATA pages ( wpt, navaid, airport runways in review mode)
- FLIGHT PLAN SUMMARY ( from REF NAV DATA page, allows selection of saved FPs)
- DES FORECASTS
Mods to existing pages
- sid star transitions
- approaches
- Implemented approach transitions
- missed approaches
- sorted entries in select desired waypoint by distance
- MOD ERASE EXEC on CLB/CRZ/DES pages
- CRZ CLB / CRZ DES announced on crz page
- MCP alt in scratchpad when in cruize and MCP alt reset ( makes starting a CRZ CLB CRZ DES easy by just uploading scratchpad in L1 - after EXEC´ing
- crz winds input possible on PERF INIT page
- ABEAM PTS on LEGS for DTOs
- identical CDU messages are no longer stacked
- some messages go away if condition no longer exists ( DRAG REQUIRED / RESET MCP ALT /...)
- holding the CLR key for 1 second will clear the whole scratchpad
Behaviour
- VNAV descent completely based on predictions ( PERF INIT/ RTE DATA/DES FORECASTS)
- TOGA upon TO / landing will now command keep track at engagement as roll mode, not HDG SEL. ( no roll mode announcement).
- GA 1 push / 2 pushs MCP speed blanked, speed commanded as per flaps calculated for MTOW
- 1 AP GA will disconn AP / FD only
- CWS stuff
- Anti- Stall system will force LVL CHG if needed
- Engaging LVL CHG will keep current speed target if one exists, else current speed is selected as target
- Throttle will not kick in when decelerating and approaching speed target
- VNAV will not disconnect except if reaching Vmo / Mmo above airport speed limit or target + 15 ( !) below
- decel before TOD if required
Procedures
- sid star transitions
- approaches
- approach transitions
- missed approaches
- holds in procedures
- speeds in procedures
- flyover in procedures
- turn direction ( not yet implemented in ACS)
Other fixes
- fixes for INTC calculation
- fixed problem unable to see transitons when route not active
- CRZ DES working ( -1000 fpm)
- TOD sequencing correctly when just before a wpt
- fixed a problem that resulted in going to VNAV PTH and levelling off on an alt float wpt
- target IAS Mach display correctly on CRZ page
- Fixed problem with star selection ( not going to page2)
- Fixed problem not correctly merging sid star flight plan without discontinuity
- Fixes the hdg intercept problem
- Des now / crz des should level off at highest restriction
- FMC version is again 10.4, new appraoch page and RTE reverse are back
- fixed the fix page fix not appearing on ND
- fixed sid/rnw selection
- fixed the TOD ETA / dist / non-sequencing problems
- fixed the problem with common part of sid
- FMCSPD is announced as AT mode when levelling off at MCP alt coming from VNAV. It will revert to MCPSPD when speed dial is actioned or a another SPD pitch mode is selected.
- Fixed the problem that when at cruize alt and engaging VNAV the AC will start a CRZ DES
- FMC speed target in cruize below DES page airport speed limit alt will no longer go above airport speed limit if applicable, whatever the CRZ target speed is.
- changes to MCP SPD button logic so VS does not get engaged when SPD button is pressed while VS mode is inhibited ( because MCP alt not reset and holding at alt)
- If an inherited speed constraint exists in descent, one can delete it with DELETE L3 in DES page to resume whatever previous speed limit there was.
- LNAV not engaging on ground and dep. rnw not showing properly on ND
- MCP FMC alt conflicts.
- TAS SAT ok on PROG page 2.
- TOC TOD indicators floating in the air following a DTO fixed.
- As per Steve´s request, took away indicators on mod legs
- Decels are modeled differently
- the TOD is positioned according to an idle path angle, which is function of the aircraft´s weight winds temperature etc
- AT will switch off upon landing
- RTE wpts no longer vanish from page when 1 wpt in the airway sid star is sequenced
- CRZ CLB speed targets management fixed, as per your reports
- Corrected slow climb to MCP alt when leveling off at cruize alt and MCP alt > cruize alt
- SPD des will initiate descent automatically if no PTH available
- VNAV disconnect taken away in CLIMB ONLY when speed constraint with no alt. Waiting for further info ( HJ)
- VNAV PATH descent : level segments are levelled off and flown as if alt hold was engaged : ie. proper.
- Lots of fixes on FIX predictions ( including the DTO problems, distances etc)
- panels should udpdate correctly regardless of popups and frame rates should increase when navigating in the different panel, even when not using the switcher
- mag heading used for runways in FMC instead of mag course ( from navdata files)
- NB is now a valid wpt fix name
- Reversion to VS mode when MCP alt is changed during ALT ACQ
- Reversion to FL CH when underspeed is improved
- Speed button should be lit even if throttle announced ARM when in MCPSPD thrust
- TRANS NONE announced in APPROACHES on ARR page
- save restore of FPs take procedure floats into account
- NAVAID and FIX are now valid navaid and fix names

So- these are just a few of the things we´ve done.....As you can see by reviewing the list- some of them were done because we felt they were necessary- and some were done because we felt they would greatly add to your enjoyment of the airplane- and THAT is ultimately why we develop airplanes the way we do!
Stay tuned- you´ll have the update soon enough!
