RELEASE NOTES Sim Update 5 Beta - 1.7.10.0
If you are playing on PC, outdated packages in your community folder may have an unexpected impact on the title’s performance and behavior.
If you suffer from stability issues or long loading times, move your community package(s) to another folder before relaunching the title.
General Bug Fixes
- Blocked update of key motion parameters for user aircraft (position, orientation, translational and angular velocity vectors, translational and angular acceleration vectors, total force and total moment vectors) while the user is in the in-game menu.
- Additionally, blocked update of translational and angular acceleration vectors, as well as total force and total moment vectors, while in Active Pause mode.
- This change ensures export of fixed (last valid) motion parameter values via SimVars in situations where motion is not actually being simulated, and also fixes a G-LOC issue during Active Pause.
Aircraft
- Fixed an issue breaking some behaviors for FS2020 aircraft (Tags Once, Delta, Wrap, Lock, DisabledWithMotionControllers, DisabledInVr, Disabled not being properly read)
Boeing 737 MAX 8
- When PERF INIT is automatically initialized on runway spawn it now uses the filed cruise altitude instead of a default.
- Improved autothrottle tracking accuracy in thrust target modes.
- Fixed an issue where the autothrottle would erratically move at the target position in thrust modes.
- Fixed a rare crash when attempting to draw a very long position trend vector on the ND map
Flight System
Flight planning
- Fixed an issue where flight level cruise altitudes were not always properly respected or converted when filing a plan with ATC
EFB
- Fixed an issue where Direct To bearing was not converted to magnetic bearing.
- Fixed route string input dialog textbox lacking a scroll bar and having a visual artifact.
- Discontinuities in the flight plan are now drawn as dotted paths.
Aircraft Gameplay
- Fixed “disable_assistances” implemented through an assistance preset (would fail in Career mode when other presets were applied)
ATC
- Fixed an issue that caused ATC to sometimes assign cruise altitudes above the service ceiling of the aircraft.
