FGAddon 1.13 / FGFS 2024.1

New Features

• Added compatibility to landing_rate_addon https://github.com/RenanMsV/landing_rate
• The aux fuel pump now enrichens the mixture a bit, like documented in the POH
• FDM: Simulate wing incidence, so the plane is calibrated to keep wings level at ~130kts cruise speed (the C182 has no aileron trim, but the wing is adjusted; this is adjustable in the factory settings of the plane)
• Avionics fan and overheat simulation (in case of fan failure, and/or very hot cabin conditions)
• C182T: Standby battery simulation
• MASTER and BAT switch (as well as avionic master bus switches) are now operated together. shift-click to operate individually (POH 7-34).
• New lever handling (simulation of mixture vernier and throttle friction lock):
  • Shift-usage now adjusts in 10% steps (previously it was 50%)
  • Alt-usage (new) now adjusts in 1% steps
  • Normal operation is still 5% steps
• KR87 ADF receiver: Implement ET timer and fix some bugs, so the instrument should behave like the real one now
• Engine starter overheat and failure simulation (respect the crank duty cycle)
• Compass correction Card can now be "zoomed into" by clicking on it
• Added ALT mode to trim wheels (finer control)
• Engine can now be heard in multiplayer for remote C182 planes
• Nicer animation for parking brake lever (according real world YT video footage)
• Passenger model appearance is now configurable
• Some Documentation.md enhancements
• Added option to drain and add oil (in small sips), to make oil handling more realistic

Bugfixes

• Autostart now uncages heading-indicator and artificial horizon, in case they were caged before
• Electrical wiring minor rework and bug fixing
  • most importantly the GPU can only supply power if the master switch is on
  • 182T variant energy distribution regarding the FG1000 changed t essential bus, according POH
• Adjusted prop lever travel; so it gives finer control over the engine RPM
• Stop prop spin on shutdown in simple engine operation mode (added engine static friction)
• Updated some dialog layouts
• Adjust trim wheels to match new "standard" fgdata mousewheel action
• Fixed "panel hole" in panel texture on left side (regression)
• Fixed fuel tank selector wrapping (when switching from left to both)
• KT76C Transponder: Fixed bug with Test mode and partial codes

Other

• Some code refactoring regarding changes in the FGFS core

⚠️ This version is compatible to FlightGear 2024.1, and might not work as expected in 2020.3.

FGAddon 1.12

New features

• Oil type can be changed now. Use the new SAE 30 grade oil for cold temperatures
• Rearranged/enhanced GUI/Menu
• Ground equipment (Electrical and Fuel trailer) now have actions to connect/disconnect power and to refuel
• Fuel tank trailer has new more high quality model
• Compass calibration card, and magnetic influence of avionics on compass
• Compass is now pivot mounted and more realistic; it can get stuck for example in steep banks
• Autostart refactored; its behaviour is configurable now. Mixture can be auto-leaned. Better logs into the logfile that may help debug further problems.
• New correct Cessna magneto key for the C182S
• COM-Radios now support setting the squelch override like described in the manual
• New towbar for easier ground handling (select from the nose wheel clickspot)
• VAC, AMP and ManfoldPress gauges can fail now
• Flashlight converted to Compositor. Instruments are now properly illuminated, Also you now can light stuff outside the plane from the cockpit!
• New animation for the Fuel selector
• New plane cover. If you don't cover your plane, it may get frosted over in winter!

Bugfixes

• Internal static port is a bit more laggy now
• Spark plug fouling is a little less aggressive
• Radio Stack now remembers radio channel selection
• Small fixes in oil temp handling
• Rain flow direction of back window fixed
• ELT better detects crashes now
• Landing/Taxi light now visible in Multiplayer
• NAV needle deflections revised, so they show accurately 2° deviation per dot now
• Autostart failed in cold weather
• Autostart spins up gyros now, so auto-calibration succeeds always
• Fixed some Instrument tooltips
• Instruments settings behaviour is consistent now: scroll-wheel up raises the setting (down lowers) at all instruments
• Instruments settings knob rotation directions now correspond to real world footage
• VSI was oscillating randomly at ground (small jitter)
• Courtesy lights now actually emit light from the light source
• C182T FG1000 initialization error fixed
• State system better supports changing states at runtime. Previously there ave been small problems like engine temps
• ADF disc rotation fixed

Other

• Also some more small changes, bugfixes and code refactorings that will make development easier in the future.

⚠️ This version is compatible to FlightGear 2020.4, and might not work as expected in 2020.3.

FGAddon 1.11

Fixed problem with winter kit installation with electrical system on.

FGAddon 1.10

Just some small fixes and a small upgrade of the KAP140

FGAddon 1.9

• FGCamera support enhanced: Walker now opens door before leaving the plane
• Bugfix: wrong shadow on propeller disc removed (thx @TheFGFSEagle!)

FGAddon 1.8

• KAP140 Autopilot refactoring Upgrade: The buttons were converted to events, so external hardware can easily interface with it. For details, see the kap140-README of the KAP140 project.
• Added compass correction card (thank you @TheFGFSEagle)
• Bugfix: Spiral cable of right Yoke was not removed with the yoke in parachuter configruation

FGAddon 1.7

• New yoke cable (thanks, @TheFGFSEagle!)
• Some small bugfixes
• In-air-start now has a stabilizer "autopilot" that keeps the plane wings level for a short time
• Hobbs meter is now realistically linked to oil pressure, and RPM gauge shows one digit more (it was dead before)
• some small interiour lighting enhancements
• Gear breaking forces revised
• Added documentatoin for GMA340 FGCom integration
• Airplane icing simulation can now be disabled individually
• Transponder changes to ALT when autostart is used

FGAddon 1.6

• Small internal enhancements

FGAddon 1.5

Some bugfixes and new features!
