PMDG 747-400X for FSX Version 2.10 Schedule/Info

[Jan-Paul Schuchna]

Captains-

 

I have a few schedule updates that I thought might interest you. I've wanted to provide you with these updates, but had to nail down a few details before we could go public with them.

 

I have three products to clarify- so I am going to make three individual posts in order to ensure that the information is easy to read and find!

 

PMDG 747-400X 2.10 Update:

===========================

We are preparing to release a fairly comprehensive update for the PMDG 747-400X. This update includes a number of fixes, some updated features, and some general cleanup. As usual, we have tried to incorporate many of the requests from here in the forum and while we haven't captured ALL of your requests, we have included a number of them.

 

This update will be made available to all customers via our download center- and we'll obviously make an announcement here when it is available for you! Currently I am anticipating release late next week. We have a few minor items to update, and one of the key people for those fixes is currently "on the road" so the time-line MIGHT shift slightly.

 

CHANGES INCLUDED WITH THE VERSION 2.10 UPDATE:

==============================================

1) Fixed Crash-To-Desktop when exiting from 747-400X Freighter version

2) Significantly improved Save/Load state for saved flights / start situations

3) Fixed case where ILS radio frequency did not reload after load saved state

4) Fixed rare Crash-To-Desktop under certain CDU window resize scenario

5) Fixed erroneous brake temp indication when SimConnect Brake Indication values

were erroneously returned for fractional brake pressure settings.

6) Updated Virtual Cockpits to include a clickable TOGA hotspot on the MCP. (mouseover screw)

7) Corrected right main landing gear brake assignment.

8) Improved speedbrake logic to prevent accidental trip of autobrakes if FSX erroneously

reads the spoiler handle as DOWN. (Handle DOWN will correctly disconnect autobrakes)

9) Improved engine spool inertial delta to improve autothrottle handling of high energy changes.

10) Corrected flaw in outboard aileron lockout system logic.

11) Improved LNAV propensity to correct XTRK errors.

12) Improved LNAV handling of course tracking in various scenarios.

13) General cleanup of some animations in the VC (window shades, etc)

14) Corrected static knob settings for Air Data, FMC, Flight Director knobs on F/O side of cockpit.

15) Corrected logic for CWT L/R and STAB L/R pump switch PRESS lights.

16) Corrected EGT Limit bar behavior during engine start.

17) Corrected Fuel On index bar behavior during engine start.

18) Corrected incorrect logic preventing VREF election for return to field prior to climb/cruise.

19) PROG page opens to 1/3 correctly .

20) Tightened autopilot roll logic to improve lateral tracking behavior in turbulence.

21) XTRK error correctly populates rather than remaining blank.

22) Corrected 400 Passenger model SPEC mapping texture.

23) Updated EPR modeling on PW/RR engines to reflect more accurate values.

24) PW/RR EPR less than 1.00 ram effect model based on dynamic pressure and throttle position.

25) CLB thrust reduction now correctly senses flap lever position rather than flap angle.

26) Modified EGT behavior during shutdown to incorporate more realistic temps/behaviors.

27) PMDG Options "TCAS Show All Traffic" setting now ignores Above/N/Below switch in order to show

all traffic. (Above/N/Below switch still functions correctly if "all traffic" is not selected.)

28) Corrected behavior of GPWS Gear Override Switch.

29) Eliminated silly FSX tire vapor animations in rain/snow

30) Changed the way FMS reads SID/STAR files to ensure soft constraints (A/B) are properly read.

31) Considerable changes to handling of soft constraints in VNAV climb/descent. (Should fix occasional

problems with UNABLE NEXT ALT logic and calcualtion of ToD when the first waypoint after ToD is soft.)

32) Improved Direct-To maneuvering algorithm with LNAV engaged.

33) Changed sequencing criteria for flyover-type waypoints to improve flyover performance.

 

Stay tuned here in the forum, where we will let you know the moment this update is available!
