Das nächste Update für den Microsoft Flight Simulator ist erschienen. Mit Version 1.14.5.0 bekommt der Sim unter anderem eine AIRAC-Erneuerung, Verbesserungen an den Flugzeugsystemen und Kondensstreifen. Das Update kann wie immer beim Start des Simulators installiert werden. JustFlight hat im Zuge dessen angekündigt, den Release der Piper Arrow noch einmal zu verschieben, um Bugs, die durch das MSFS-Update entstehen könnten, zu vermeiden.
Mehr Infos zum Update findet ihr hier.
NEW CONTENT
- FSX legacy liveries available on appropriate planes : Kenmore, Emerald Gold, Global Freightways, Orbit, Pacifica and World Travel
- Contrails are now displayed on the player’s aircraft (MP and AI are not supported yet)
- New customization menu in the World map to further adjust the aircraft to perfectly match specific real world aircraft. The changes only affects the next flight and they are not persistent.
- Empty CG position: We can now have a different empty CG position, just like real world aircraft that all may have slightly different empty balance.
- Wear: We can now increase the wear of the fuselage to get a slightly higher parasitic drag and simulate older aircraft.
- Control surface limits: We can now adjust the maximum angle limits for elevator, rudder and aileron control surfaces to simulate the slight difference that may exist between different real aircraft. Check Type Certificate Data Sheet (TCDS) Information for real world aircraft control surface angle limit variation tolerance.

Falsche Überschrift. Der wichtigeste Content steht zuerst und lautet:

Das musste ich auch dreimal lesen um es einmal zu glauben ? Orbit, Emerald und World Travel… das Erste was jeder Simmer seit 15 Jahren platt macht, kommt endlich in den MSFS ?
