🚧 New release : v1.6.0 (2022-12-17)

This update brings a new cockpit feature : VFR Maps

Bring the cardboard on the yoke from the lower center console by clicking on it and choose one of the few available VFR map websites. Currently, we have FR, UK, US. I haven’t found a lot of ready to use websites. Skyvector would have been cool, but they forbid iframes.

If you have website suggestions to add to the list, I’m all ears !

Happy VFR flying !

🚧 New release : v1.5.0 (2022-12-08)

The cargo update

I’ve finaly added the objects I had modeled last summer. WIP :

• It’s planed to be able to load/unload cargo.
• It’s planed to have decals on most of the cargo objects, so you’ll be able to customize them easily.
• I also have a few other cargo options in my todolist (not modeled yet) But this will be for future updates, theses cargos have been wating for too long in my hangar !

Features / fixes :

• cargo configurations : new page in the book
• no more weight needed for passengers : I’ve removed the condition, you only need to check the options in the book now.
• ingame documentation update
• SU11 asobo’s plane retro port of the configurations, variables, etc
• Wing texture fix, thanks to SebStep91

Don’t overload the plane, fly safe !

🚧 New release : v1.4.0 (2022-11-24)

New features :

• ingame manual : click on the Help sticker on the left of the PFD
• passengers :
• check the options in the book
• set weight > 0 in the MSFS “weight and balance” page

Fixes :

• reload of saved stated delayed a little (I found a race conditions)
• panel sticker UVmap fix

Happy flying with the new passengers and don’t worry if they do not smile a lot, I’m sure they really appreciate the flight !

🚧 New release : v1.3.0 (2022-10-25)

• but does not record (yet) :
  • the group of 4 internal lights (they’ll require animation recoding)

Thank again for all your reports from the previous versions.

I hope you’ll enjoy that one

See you in the sky, hawks !

🚧 New release : v1.2.0 (2022-09-27)

Fix :

• now this mod uses Working Titles G1000 panels by default. Thanks to Nautiker777 for the report If for a specific reason you want to use default old G1000 system, you’ll have to replace lines with WT1000 references in panel.cfg with : htmlgauge00=NavSystems/AS1000/PFD/AS1000_PFD.html, 0, 0, 1024, 768 htmlgauge00=NavSystems/AS1000/MFD/AS1000_MFD.html,0,0,1024,768

Thanks a lot for all your messages and thanks for your replies to the poll for the next features. The primary choice is STATE SAVING in plane. I’ll be working on that feature. The objective is to :

• save buttons and levers positions
• save fuel quantity
• save mod options (chocks, checklists… that’s almost already done)
• stay compatible with startup options from MSFS : I need to see what to do when one wants to start from the runway or inflight (you probably don’t want to spawn there with everything turned off, but I’ve seen payware planes doing that with state saving…)

🚧 New release : v1.1.0 (2022-09-18)

Thanks to all the kind words for the 1st release of this mod !

I’ve tried to handled the most urgent problems :

This new release fixes :

• external lights (landing + taxi) are now visible on the model
• windshields are cleaner : I’ve removed (for now) the annoying textures with prints & stains (we’ll see later with the dirt & aging layers)
• objects in cockpits (bottles…) have been enlarged to match better real sizes (they are only the begining of custom interior decoration)

This release also adds a few simple new features :

• you can now hide the checklist card, if you don’t want it at all
• you can show or hide the various objects in cockpit
• new external static objects :
• tie downs
• pitot covers
• cowl plugs not perfectly static, you’ll see…

If you want to choose the next incoming feature, please see the poll : https://flightsim.to/group/40194/cessna-172sp-skyhawk-as1000-improvement

Happy skyhawking !
