Finally, thanks to our friends at Aerosoft, we have newer AIRAC navigation data.

(Requires the NO SMOKING sign to be ON)

Safety Briefing: Triggered by moving BACKWARDS faster than 3 knots during pushback

Boarding: Triggered by turning ON the fasten seatbelt sign when on the ground.

Revised and improved the accuracy of the FMOD sound experience , including new announcement clips during certain portions of flight:

Updated both the aircraft and FMS manuals to conform to the current state of the add-on

Revised side tabs' visibility trigger so that the activity selections are now presented only when the mouse cursor has moved to within 50px of the left side of the monitor

Side menu graphics improved, checklists now in higher resolution and resizable.

Audio panel revised so that COM, NAV and ADF radios can be turned on and off with an LED in the button to indicate current status

New Load Planner adds the ability to simulate a random passenger load and baggage/cargo calculation along with CG management. Very useful to have realistic data available to add in the FMS PERF 1 page

Version 2.3 (March 26th 2018)

MFD heading and compass rose now display correct values

Revised the (Options) Menu, Pushback Menu and Checklists to be resizable as well as moveable

Pop-Up Menus are now bigger if a 4K screen is detected

Fixed all the reflections on the windshield and side windows of the cockpit - they were barely visible in XP11. Remember you can always disable them with a click of a button! Please check the manual for more information.

Horizon on the HUD is now actually on the Horizon!

Click regions on the PFD/MFD screens now work correctly even if the screens are swapped

Starters are now air driven

Revised systems settings to reduce the number of master cautions and warnings

on startup - also disengaging the FD will not trigger annunciators

Changed the dataref for locking cockpit door to deconflict with FMOD

Integrated the Terrain Radar plugin into the MFD The Terrain Radar plugin has to be downloaded separately

Easter Egg - lock the cockpit from the pedestal and then look into the cockpit from the outside ;)





Terrain Radar Plugin : The E-Jets are now compatible with the awesome Terrain Radar plugin.

Please download the plugin from this link? and install it into the X-Plane main plugins folder (X-Plane/resources/plugins). Once it is installed the plane will recognize it and you will be able to enable/disable the Terrain Radar or the vertical status display by a menu on the lower right of the MFD.





FMS / Menus:

Added capability of loading version 1100 flight plans within the capabilities of the FMS This does not mean loading procedure/runway data that has been added to the header area, but does allow the FMS to extract the same data from the new format that was loaded from older format fms files

Added capability to save LOADED flight plans in addition to saving only the ROUTE

Runway visual departure and visual approach placement improved, using accurate runway heading data from airports.txt

Revised procedure waypoint types FA/VA/CA (fix to, vector to, course to an altitude) so that positioning of the waypoint is more likely correct and/or does not crash the sim

Added correct units display to PERF2 when user selects KG instead of LBS

Improved SASL initialization to more reliably reinitialize when the aircraft is reloaded/moved, and also added command to silence the annoying MASTER CAUTION alert that has always been present whenever the sim loads

The Menu, Pushback and Checklist flyout tabs are now locked in place and cannot be moved away from the left side of the window in error

PERF 2 now uses HH:MM instead of decimal hours for the predicted time of flight

PERF 3 has correct units displayed for the predicted approach weight

Updated the SASL initialization routines so that the terrain radar is not on by default





FMOD:

E175 / 195

Assigned GPU to a different dataref

Adjusted engine interior volumes, increased by 6dB

Increased "hum" sound when next to the engines in the cabin

Added a hint of more wind on the front engine interior

Added Doppler to engine exterior

Increased engine start volume

Adjusted front wind exterior

Adjusted sound extent for bleed air

Adjusted engine exterior audible distances, higher pitches are audible further

Added a distant blast sound

Lowered volume a bit to prevent distortion on some systems E195

Added a second high power sound to give the engines a slightly lower tone

Lowered volume a bit to prevent distortion on some systems
