E-Jets Update 0.9.2

Dear Supporters,

slowly, a little calm is returning. We thank you for your numerous feature requests and bug reports. They help us to raise the E-Jets to the next level. We have made some important changes, first of all the throttle calibration. Please read the corresponding documentation!

We also worked on the flight physics. You should now be able to land on shorter runways without flaring endlessly. Also rudder deflections during the flight have been reduced significantly.

We are also working hard on the FMS backend code. It is still a bit too early to show pictures. But the development is going according to plan and as soon as we start implementing it in the simulator, we will show you more details.

We are still struggling with the ILS problem. There are 2 possible solutions, but both require some time. So please be patient and use RNAV (LNAV + FPA) approaches if possible.

In February we will implement the first milestone of the new autopilot: Autothrust Management, which will be the basis for all further lateral and vertical modes. Without a reliable autothrottle, the rest cannot be implemented. So things are moving forward.

For now, have fun with the new version!

Bug Fixes

#676 – Incorrect cabin pressure difference leading to warnings

Proper differencial pressure calculation is now included based on real world chart references.

#769 – Able to shutdown engine while TLA is not idle

Engine cannot be shut down if throttle is not idle. Rotating the starter knob to OFF won’t trigger shutdown process.

#748 – MFD Weights LBS/KG not matching

Weight units across all displays are now in sync. You can change the unit in the EFB settings page.

#756 – PA volume not linked to cockpit door

The passenger announcement volume now reacts on the cabin door if you are in the cockpit.

#788 – Incorrect LOT livery aircraft registration

The previous fallback registration belongs to an E170. It’s is now updated.

#789 – KLM livery wrong ATC code

The fallback ATC code for the KLM livery was KLC, it’s now updated to KLM.

#720 – Takeoff Config Test only works once per session

It is now possible to run the T/O config test multiple times which is necessary if the first test returns any error.

#805 – EICAS: Spoilers not deploying upon landing/RTO

The spoiler deployment is now indicated on EICAS upon landing and rejected takeoff.

#750 – GPU AVAIL should show anytime when GPU is connected

GPU Avail light is not connected to aircraft electricity anymore.

#783 – Right engine model/textures mirrored

The right engine was inadvertently a mirror image of the left. This has now been corrected.

#762 – Certain RWYs not selectable in MCDU

The standard API of MSFS currently has a bug that occasionally returns the wrong runway (the opposite direction). This was fixed by us with an additional direction check. Now all runways should show up properly.

#643 – Transponder selection wrong on initial MCDU startup

The transponder readout was missing TA/RA when the radio page is being opened the first time.

#829 – American livery missing “i” on right fuselage

The „i“ dot on the right side of the aircraft was missing on the American livery.

#646 – MCDU pages should default to 1/x upon opening

The MCDU subpages now always open page 1 of X when you re-enter the menu. The last opened page is no longer saved – according to real world procedure.

#791 – Fuel caution and warning indications not accurate

The fuel caution and warning indications were not accurate to real life.

#644 – Spoiler deployment logic corrected

Previously, the ground spoilers were also accidentally extended in flight when the spoiler lever was operated. These are now deployed during ground operations (RTO and landing).

#810 – Autobrake not disconnecting on manual braking

The autobrake can now be disabled by applying manual braking. In RTO mode a minimum speed of 60kts is required, otherwise autobrake is not engagend anyway.

#836 – FMS2 is not magenta (PFD)

FMS2 readout on PFD was green and is now magenta.

#840 – CRS knob not correctly setting NAV1/2

The CRS knob was quite buggy and not setting course to NAV1/2 correctly when switching between them.

#837 – Throttle Axis does not work for single lever hardware

Throttle lever does now work if bound to THROTTLE AXIS if it’s a single lever hardware

Improvements

#501 – Performance Improvements

We made improvements regarding the simvar calling. It should get you slightly better performance although it’s currently only being used for the MFD. If it’s a proven approach we’ll apply it to the other screens as well.

#645 – APU Fadec Self Test

APU % readout on EICAS now blinks amber for 3 seconds then solid when starting the apu, bleed valve should come on shortly after apu start instead of immediately. System logic defines start sequence complete after 95% APU + 3 seconds for Pneumatic and Electrical loads

#759 – Missing CAS messages on shutdown

We added mising CAS messages on shutdown.

#493 – Electric sound power up on BAT

The battery fans have a rising sound when power is connected the first time.

#635 – Strobe light effect on short winglet improved

We implemented a custom strobe effect for the short winglet to recreate the real word strobe light behavior.

#578 – Screen bootup sequence improved

The power up sequence got tuned based on a new real world reference.

#834 – MCDU off on 0% brightness

The MCDU now switches off if you set brightness to 0%.

#701 – Spoiler axis + toggle assignment

TOGGLE SPOILERS and SPOILER AXIS assignments are now properly connected to our aircraft logic.
