Version 4.300 is now released in FGAddon. It might take a day or so before you can update it if you use launcher.
I expect to within the next couple of days to make another video tutorial (#6) to demonstrate the Datapanel, TI changes, flightplans and map-areas and how to land with and without them.
As always please report any issues or questions you have.
The changelog this time is 250 items so I will just post the main changes below:
General changesit0uchpods has completely overhauled the Autopilot. Its more stable, and works really nicely.
Key 'y' now toggle to slave flight inputs to display cursor (only on TI).
There can be 4 mission routes and 2 return to base flightplans. The active one will show up in route-manager as usual. (only in Flightgear 2017.3.1+)
Read more about it in the new readme.ja37.txt that is distributed with the aircraft. (is in JA37 folder). Or read it here:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NikolaiVChr/flightgear-saab-ja-37-viggen/master/Aircraft/JA37/readme.ja37.txtThe readme.ja37 will eventually turn into a pdf manual. Its very concise right now and covers TI menus, cursor, datapanel and part of MI. Eventually it be explain more things, its more of a reference now.
Notice in the aircraft it normally use the term polygon to describe a flightplan/route or map-area.
Flightplans and map areas can be pre-loaded into the aircraft from the FG launcher, read bottom part of readme above to see how.
TILS now auto activates (if the runway has an ILS) glideslope when you switch to one of the landing modes (LS or LT). ILS can still be used manually if you don't like flightplans.
First steerpoint in plan RTB will autostart in mode LR when a mission plan ends.
There is a new livery SAF32, its bigger size than the others, so is not set to new default, else I would have. If your PC can handle it, try it out.
Masterarm is now a knob on right panel lower shelf.
For a select number of aircraft the radar will now only show them depending on distance and their radar cross-section. (other Viggens, F15, F14, Mirage-2000, Mig21bis and a couple others.)
HUD changesThe terrain collision arrows now stay steady on 3 secs after the alert finishes.
In tactical mode the altitude scale is now just a number.
The pitch lines now is attached to the flight path indicator.
The scales and center texts now spins around with the pitch lines.
Weapon text and ILS/TILS is now next to distance scale.
Landing mode no longer auto toggles at gear down. Use TI or key 'Y' to enable it.
Pressing ctrl-shift-q in cockpit view will now zoom in on HUD. The HUD view has been removed.
Heading bug will no longer show A/P bug.
TI color displayIn menu SYST: S, L, LS (key Y), LT, OPT and LR now work.
Steerpoint polygon legs now show only the current leg, and next leg only if distance to it is less than 20Km.
In main menu MSDA all polygon legs for all flightplans are shown and map will force show names.
Datapanel on right panel next to the pilot is now activated. It can edit values on the TI display, or you can input/output various things. (see the above readme for more, or ask me)
On the display using the cursor you can now edit flightplans, click on the buttons and move the map around. See the readme.ja37 on how to activate it, or wait for next video tutorial.
Map areas are zones shown on the TI, and for editing works just like flightplans, except you cannot load them into the route-manager.
AerodynamicsAI wake turbulance is now supported (FG 2017.3.1+)
Wave drag has been revisited, due to new performance data I have gotten. This means more drag in pretty much all regimes. Sorry about that.
