NEWS - Aircraft Update Boeing 747-200 Classic v1.2.02 by Felis X-Plane 12

 

 

Felis updated his Boeing 747-200 Classic only days (September 12th 2022) after the "Early Access" release of X-Plane 12. The aircraft was compatible with X-Plane 12, but in the release being so early in the X-Plane Beta phase, it would mean only a limited number of areas would have been covered. The Boeing flew in X-Plane 12, but was not fully developed.

 

So here is another update in v1.2.02 in delivering more fixes and changes to make the B747-200 compatible with X-Plane 12.

 

Notable is that X-Plane 12 is still in it's Beta phase (currently b13), so more changes and refinement will still come, but it has been announced that X-Plane 12 will go final before Christmas 2022.

 

Version 1.2.02 (November 17th 2022)

 

Now compatible with X-Plane 12

+++ fixed backlight of buttons on the audio panels

+++ fixed LTN giving error, when selecting leg between waypoints having same lat or lon, but not both.

+++ IND lamps now less bright in DIM mode

+++ clocks use less power and should not drain batteries too fast

+++ LTN now resets POS screen and STS to level 10, when turned OFF after the flight.

+++ fixed power logic for INS and LTN. was unable to start with dead batteries

+++ LTN should save time of passing each waypoint for FPL page

+++ new libradio plugin

+++ fixed Crash on the Ref/Brg/Dist Screen, when entering a custom waypoint like AAA123.

+++ initial engine tuning

+++ fixed loading and balance calc.

+++ fixed crossing the LON 180 line in the LTN logic
