Stephen Posted January 8, 2022 Report Share Posted January 8, 2022 NEWS! - Updated : ToLiss updates A340 to Version v1.0.2 Aircraft updates have been coming thick and fast over the Northern Holidays from ToLiSS. First was the A319 late November 2021 v1.6.2, then the the A321 v1.3.1 in early December and now coming back around the circle comes the A340 to v1.0.2. (there was a small post release release v1.01 October 30th 2021). Details include features the addition of an animated RAT (Ram Air Turbine ), a CVR and Battery self-test, flap and nose gear animations with different wheel speed animations with particles AND animated hydraulic lines to the landing gear for higher realism. And an ECAM taxi camera... The "Taxi Camera" feature is AMAZING... You get the choice of all three screens in the Pilot (Replaces PFD, but switchable to the MFD/NAV via the PFD/ND button far left). The same for the Co-Pilot and the lower ECAM SD display. All three screens are controlled by a "CAMERA" switch panel lower left Pedestal. Quality is excellent, and finally someone has worked out on how to deliver a very realistic Camera feature to the flightdeck.... obviously it would be ToLiSS! Note on the RAT. I found some (earlier) A340 liveries shows the RAT uncovered (right wing) on a lot of the liveries, so the liveries have to redownloaded to later versions or to use the latest V1.2 paintkit to fix the issue. Full Changelog v1.0.2 is below Version 1.0.2 (January 6th 2022) Minor new features: - Electrical system now features battery self test - ISCS sliders now allow editing the values with keyboard for better precision - Custom landing gear particle model - Custom landing gear tire rotation model to allow individual speeds for the forward and aft wheels on the same bogey - Cargo fire extinguishing test is now operational - Fault injections can now trigger on increasing or on decreasing values of altitude and air speed - Added flap animation and nose landing gear animation to taxi cam - Added CVR self test - Added chocks to keep aircraft in place at the gate - Reworked cockpit, ground contact and engine sounds (with friendly support of Henrik Ku) - Added animated hydraulic lines to landing gear - Added animated RAT Bug fixes: - Resolved an issue with the brake fans - DC BAT bus shows invalid data, if BAT1 and BAT2 are switched off - When preselecting a heading on ground, the FCU heading window will initialize with the current heading - Reduced IRS drift values by half for more realistic values - Made behaviour of CLR button XPDR panel more realistic - When selecting flaps 1 for landing, the Status page will now be called (As it should) if status is not normal - When status paged called automatically, the STS key now lights up and can be used to remove the status page - When Using Auto Brake to full stop, pressing pedals won't disengage it like is the case in real life - Minor FMGS fixes - Corrected locations of wing condensation emitters. - Moved location of engine particle emitters further aft to better match engine location - Fixed standby compass - Corrected pack inhibition condition on ground with doors open (applies now only when engines are running) - Fixed animation of spoiler 3 actuator on right wing - Fixed flex temp range - Fixed FBW roll angle limits - Improved AP turn direction depending on FCU heading rotation knob - FCU green button lights now respond to the ANN LT switch as they should (instead of the FCU background light rotary) - SD Weight/CG on ground indication is now a function of the data entered on INIT B page, and will be replaced by FMGEC estimated weight in flight - Retuned idle thrust for more accurate descent profile following - Improved reliability of automatic pitch trim setting prior to take-off - Increased ground cart pressure for better engine start performance Full ToLiSS X-PlaneReviews A340-600 release review is here: Aircraft Review : Airbus A340-600 by ToLiSS Notable was the CPDLC (Controller–Pilot Data Link Communication) feature was not included with this update, but it is still in-development, as is the rear MCDU MENU.
