v0.6.3 of the comet is due for release within 36hrs of SU10 being released in the sim… Everything is working fine and as intended in the beta at least!
Some of the new graphical additions are a little rudimentary due to a new child being added to my life at the weekend, but everything functions great on the new version!
Update changelog:
New modern fuel system closer to the original found in 1934
Fix to the issue where you were spawning with a full front tank resulting in unbalanced cg by default… Now you have half a tank and 3 hours flight time within CG limits by default
New fuel system controls for the additional valves in the cockpit
A swap from engine temp to oil press gauges, alongside some minor corrections to get the pressures about right for now…
Updated fuel usage which better fits ranges for cruise altitude flying (the range is currently about 500nm too high at sea level however!)
This also means a change for the simplification mod… I have removed the old fuel system and updated it to the new one, only shifted the tank positions and empty cg, so all fuel levels have no effect on CG position (it sits pretty much midway between both limits). It also has all valves open by default so it essentially acts as 1 big tank.
I will be updating the manual for the release too to describe and support the new fuel system, and will copy some of the information over here too.
Edit:thank you to the 1500 people who have downloaded her so far!
