NEWS! - Aircraft Updated : Diamond DA40NG v1.2.0 by SimSolutions

 

 

SimSolutions have updated the Diamond DA40NG to v1.2.0. This update is focused on the conversion of the aircraft to X-Plan 12.

 

The usual X-Plane 12 compatibility points are all covered here. Performance, Effects (Ice-snow, windshield rain) and the textures have all been implemented. Plus new borders around the pop-out instruments, and switches that previously had no manipulators and animations, now have manipulators and animations, such as the cabin heat, trim, and AP disconnect switches. There has been a fair few changes and fixes as well.

 

Version  1.2.0 (November 26th 2022)

## New Features

* Added X-Plane 12 support: new rain effects, fixed light strengths & minor internal stuff

* Added display reversion (the button is disabled in X-Plane 11, but will still trigger in a display failure)

* Added an optional border around the display pop-outs with the appropriate dials & buttons (WIP)

* Added persistence: The aircraft will now restore its state (including location, altitude & speed) if initially loaded within 5nm of its last save.

* Added a proper settings window

* Some switches that previously had no manipulators and animations now have manipulators and animations, such as the cabin heat, trim, and AP disconnect switches.

## Minor Changes

* Added IVAO Altitude support for radio transmit & receive flags

* Modified the gear suspension & steering

* Internal graphics wrapper was overhauled; should render text a lot more competently now

* Overhauled internal code managing the G1000 modifications

## Fixes

* Fixed flap lights

* Fixed the automatic engine start command not working

* Fixed cockpit view in X-Plane 11

* Attempt to fix wonky engine load controller
