Hello everyone! I’m sorry for my absence, just popped in to give a quick update.
Firstly, about MS Marketplace: unfortunately, I have no idea when it’ll be available for sale there. The airplane has been submitted for approval almost 2 months ago, and so far no response whatsoever. I wish I had better news regarding this, but it’s pretty much “it’ll be there whenever it gets there”. It’s completely out of my hands at this point. I have no further info on this. Everything has been done on my end (and yes - the airplane will be 100% career compatible), it’s really up to the MS Marketplace people to review and approve or give feedback on what to fix. Other online marketplaces should follow shortly after this release.
Now, regarding the next update - still no release date for now - I’ll get a small list below:
DONE:
- Several fixes to the exterior model like adding missing bolts, stall tabs and stall strips, trim tabs and aileron counter-weights;
- New livery for the Traveler (in honor of @RoosTaZA for all of his help and amazing work on the new flight dynamics, thank you once again!)
- Traveler now has a MPH specific speedometer;
- Completely remade normal maps (still not sure on how I feel about them, might revert back to the release version, I’ll post some comparison shots soon);
- Stall warning buzzer;
- General small modelling/mapping issues fixed, too small to be worth mentioning in detail.
WIP:
- New flight model (still tuning)
TO DO:
- Add missing key assignments to the Century-1 autopilot;
- Modify Century-1 clickspots;
- GTS-750 integration;
@Editer @Brooklynguy7607 Yes, indeed the Century-1 is “sort of” capable of following a GPS track, but not in the configuration present in the simulator. The Century-1 is only capable of tracking a needle from an instrument, regardless of the source. So, like @Brooklynguy7607 said, if an HSI capable of reading the GPS track was installed in this plane, the Century-1 would be able to track it. But as it is currently, the autopilot is only capable of following the needles in the VOR instruments, since the panel configurations in sim only feature a very basic heading indicator. Regarding the clickspots, I’ll adjust them and make them much bigger, as I too found it to be quite annoying to adjust the knobs. Maybe I’ll also make the clickspot to toggle modes be below the actual knob for convenience? I’ll experiment with this. Also, I’ll add the relevant keybinds to the configuration (sorry, I completely missed this) for convenience. ![]()
@JPVann9916 Glad to hear you are enjoying the aircraft!
@Decimator33 I’ll take a look at this and fix it for the next update, thanks!
@DAQUA3828 Sorry, I have no idea when it’ll be available, unfortunately. I have no further information on this.
