Hello Everyone,
I've updated my SWL-10. Normally I don't make an announcement for these updates but this one is so significant I thought I'd make a post. The main highlight of this update is the SWL-10 now has new wings!
Edit: V1.6 has been released with navigation improvements for the ILS!
Changelog
V1.5
- Updated a large quantity of the variables using newer coding structures, removing over 20 variables and modifying others to improve performance
- Replaced pistons pushing labels into view with code in the labels
- Landing gear can no longer be retracted when plane is on ground
- Nose gear must be down and locked for steering to work
- Modified landing gear doors to have a realistic open angle (main gear) and less moving parts (nose gear)
- Landing lights now require gear to be down and locked to turn on (in addition to the light switch)
- Plane has to be on ground and stopped (IAS < 5) for ground power to work
- Removed faulty autoland button and related checklist items
- Checklist has a single set of next page/previous page buttons instead of 11
- Ram air turbine is more realistically scaled
- Engines no longer require hydraulics to be on to function (engines can be started as soon as electrical power is enabled)
- ILS DME display now works instead of being a duplicate of the label above it
- Drastically improved ILS variables (large paragraph of code reduced to a few lines)
- First officer's gauge cluster now has a heading bug
- Added line with a dip to attitude ball for better readings (see last image)
- Added support for Xinshan International Airport into the ILS
- Added frequencies for Xinshan International Airport into the ILS and Com checklist pages
- Remade all wings using the 3 part airfoil technique
V1.6
- Added dial to see the heading to the runway compared to your heading to ILS module
- Modified some components of ILS module to make room for new gauge
I also updated all the version headers to be links to download previous versions.
SWL-120
While I'm here I'll share this screenshot of a new module on the SWL-120's overhead panel (right module).
@TheTomatoLover I'm not though...
I'm just interested in aviation.
I swear this guy is a pilot and engineer
