2.2.0.403
A new update is now available via the Fenix Installer, this has a couple of optimisations that nets us a bit of high-priority CPU time, we hope that this may help some affected with the oscillations free up a bit of headroom and therefore alleviate the issue, let us know if it helps please! Additionally, some fixes to GPS data, and for those flying in the US - switching STARs should now be a bit easier
Finally, FLX has learned how to behave itself a little better, so improvements all over the airplane really! Enjoy
@everyone
Avionics and Systems
Optimised internal scheduling of display rendering
Added cargo distribution to loadsheet
Added AOC FREE TEXT
Added AOC ATIS request via VATSIM and IVAO
Added new source of GPS ephemeris data - updated NAVSTAR tracking algorithm with more current data, fully prepared for full GNSS constellation (Galileo/Beidou/etc) when the real A320 is able
Improved internal W&B code to better support sharklets and ACTs
Improved conditions for auto-tuning ILS
Fixed approach transition altitude not being based on the entered QNH
Fixed values like 0.11 being rounded in the RNP field
Fixed STAR not being reloaded or cleared after changing runway
Fixed aircraft freezing during rare circumstances when using the ACARS printer
Fixed S speed being impossibly low at around 45 T gross weight
Fixed SayIntentions ACARS not connecting if a Hoppie code wasn’t entered
Fixed CLOSEST AIRPORTS not showing an EFOB
Fixed “HUNDRED ABOVE” and “MINIMUMS” playing when an MDA/BARO was entered on the ground
Fixed ACARS client not correctly respecting “invalid login code” responses
Fixed ALPHA FLOOR engaging on approach when below 100 ft RA
Fixed SPD LIM not showing with a dual SFCC failure
Fixed certain speeds showing when they shouldn’t with a dual SFCC failure
Fixed cross track error not showing on the ground
Fixed ECP ALL button logic (it shouldn’t “remember” the last selected page)
Fixed formatting issues of the ATC unit on DCDU
Fixed FUEL X FEED OPEN light appearing when the valve isn’t fully open
Fixed tailstrike protection chevron not being amber
Fixed physical BARO MODE switch becoming out of sync when linked
Fixed COM3 playing at 100% volume
Fixed HF2 transmit indicator lighting up when HF1 was active
Removed MAX FLT TIME limitation on yellow hydraulic low level (HYD RSVR ISOL VALVE INS)
Art and Sound
Fixed A319 & A321 safety card showing A320
Fixed flap rods in A319 and A320
Fixed overhead bin missing polys on high density cabin
Fixed odd coloured paint on the wing of the A319
Fixed ATC model not being said correctly in-game (incorrect localisation key)
EFB
Improved cargo distribution to target an optimal CG
Improved takeoff performance based on airport elevation
Fixed EFB being blank on start-up if the previous session was quit with the EFB “sleeping”
Flight and Engine Models
Here we did a bit of work to the FADEC when it comes to FLX computations, some may have noticed a discrepency between the FADEC’s assigned thrust rating and what was actually achieved before - this has now been resolved by a thorough rework of the FADEC, but also with it’s associated data sources. Additional to this, as a bonus of giving something a rework - you get to improve certain other aspects too. You may now observe the FADEC rating subtly changing as you roll down the runway during takeoff, this is normal - the FADEC is continously computing the appropriate thrust output and therefore slighty varying EPR/N1 - this is now reflected across the range, but we’re still tweaking the IAEs a little.
