Initial Release (read release notes in stor page)

Features not available in first release:





FMS

1) OFFSET data management (hard to implement but willing to add it). OFFSET data path thus not displayed on EFIS displays

2) DESCENT FORECAST page (like OFFSET hard to implement but willing to add it)

3) FMS OVRD management (will be added later)

4) ENG OUT page (will be added later)

5) ABEAM data (not yet fully understood how it works so it will be added later, if possible)

6) Custom waypoints (manually specified points such LAT/LON, PBD or course intersection are not actual possible)

7) EXEC key must be pressed in the same page where changes has been done (willing to fix this in later upgrades)

8) Holdings are limited to three for a single flight plan and there is no wind correction

9) VNAV implemented at a basic level, some situations could not be considered or erroneously managed (due unplanned situations or implementation issues)

10) For unknown reasons some flight plans sections could suddenly disappear from EFIS when in MAP mode, setting the range to an higher value make them visible again

11) PROGRESS page 2 (not satisfied about actual displayed data accuracy so I have disabled it, will be restored as soon as I will fix it)

12) not yet implemented a function to save a manually inserted flight plan





3d internal/external graphic

1) Cargo/service pax/pressure valve doors not animated (actually they are only drawn, we'll wait for user feedback)

2) Wingflex (will be included later)

3) Tabs on elevator, rudder and ailerons (operational but not yet animated by script, will be fixed later)

4) Animated cockpit windows (not actual planned, maybe later and depending by user feedback)

5) Animated oxygen masks (not actual planned)

6) Circuit Breakers: there're a very large number of them so after an evaluation about cost-benefit ratio we decided not to plan this feature right now, in the future we could possibly think at some of them (we are open to receive suggestions from users about that feature)

7) dynamic/static reflections on instruments (not possible on XP10 for our own technical reasons, probably implemented on XP11)

8) fog/ice effects on windows (will be included later)





Miscellaneous

1) reversers volume control manageable but not yet operative





Plugins

1) Smartcopilot: configuration file originally planned but not created due time constraints, we'll prepare it later (custom configuration files not supported as we'll not provide the list of needed custom datarefs given the overall complexity of the systems)

2) Xsaitekpanels: this plugin is actually incompatible and causes problems to the plane thus is not supported, we'll provide a configuration file only if we'll be satisfied with our own tests (like for Smartcopilot we'll not provide the list of needed datarefs)

3) DataRefTool: plugin not fully compatible, we saw some problems on the plane caused by it so it's not supported.

4) XPrealWX: for unknown reasons it isn't compatible with our UpdateManager plugin so if you have XPrealWX installed, there's an update available and you choose to accept it the UpdateManager will crash during the update process and you have very good chances that the simulator will crash too: the only solution is to close XP, physically remove XPrealWX (disabling it through the plugin menu is not enough) and then go with the update process.
