Ihr liebt Flugsimulation.
Wir berichten darüber.

Raus aus der Beta, offiziell veröffentlicht. Microsoft und Asobo haben das Aircraft and Avionics Update 1 (AAU1) für den Microsoft Flight Simulator online gestellt. Damit wird nicht nur die Avionik in diversen Flugzeugen verbessert, sondern auch das Schneeproblem auf vielen Flughäfen behoben.

Als Modder sind sie gestartet, dann wurden sie offiziell von Microsoft eingespannt. Working Title kümmerte sich im letzten Jahr um die stetige Verbesserung der CJ4, des G1000 und des G3000. Jetzt sind die Mods zu einem festen Bestandteil des Flugsimulators geworden. Was in den letzten Wochen bereits in der Open Beta vorhanden war, ist heute offiziell veröffentlicht worden.

Das bedeutet auch: Alle alten Working Title Mods müssen aus dem Simulator entfernt werden, um Konflikte zu vermeiden. Schade auch: Die Navigraph-Integration der Charts, wie sie zum Beispiel der CJ4 besitzt, verschwindet aus vorerst aus Kompatibitäts- und Lizenzgründen – hier kann mit der Toolbar-Integration aber für Ersatz gesorgt werden, um im Sim Charts zu betrachten.

Auch neu im Zuge des Updates: Die komplett weißen Vorfelder und Flughäfen, die bei Schnee im Sim keine Seltenheit waren, wurden behoben: Mit dem Update sollen Runways und Taxiways auch im Schnee besser zu erkennen sein.

Das Update wird wie immer automatisch bei Simstart installiert. Wer die Open Beta nutzte, sollte den Inhalt schon haben.

SDK

IMPORTANT: From SU11 onwards, we added some restriction on allowed files in an Asset Group of type SimObject (aircraft), see this link structure 4 for more infos on what files are allowed or not. Please note that despite what the doc is saying you don’t have to manually edit the definition files to reference extra files that you want to put in your simobject asset groups (the doc will be updated for official release).

  • [SDK][Aircraft Editor] Fixed wrong default values for some parameters
  • [SDK][Aircraft Editor] Changed condition on afterburner_available and fuel_flow_gain to avoid malfunction on turboprop engines
  • [SDK][Aircraft Editor] Changed constraint on 2D-array parameters to avoid erroneous zero values at the end
  • [SDK][Samples] Added a standalone installer for the Wwise project
  • Fixed an issue that caused the NAV radios to not properly accept inputs when connected to the non-modular Electrical System

Known Issues

  • Some icons on the Longitude Systems and Controls pages may not display, but page/pane operation is not affected
  • TO/GA button on the CJ4 throttle handle may be hard or impossible to click for some users, but a clickspot has been provided on the Fire Bottle button to the left of the autopilot panel and the key binding will work to activate TO/GA
  • The test display screen on the GNS430W and GNS530W will not presently move the CDI needles
  • The nearest intersections page on the GNS units may display procedure intersections which appear to be duplicates

Also das Snow-Runway-Thema ist bei mir nicht wirklich gelöst. LOWI ist zB immer noch komplett zugeschneit. LOWS aber dafür nicht (mehr) – da ist es frei. Vermutlich ein ORBX Problem…??

Also ich war gestern in Helsinki EFHK (von ORBX), da war morgens vor dem Update noch alles verschneit, abends nach dem Update hab ich nochmal nachgeschaut, da war ordentlich alles geräumt. Scheint also kein generelles ORBX-Problem zu sein.

Gerademal LOWI ohne ORBX angeschaut, die Taxiways und Runway sind definitiv frei. Aber die Textur des Vorfeldes ist bei Schnee weiß.

Dann mit dem ORBX LOWI. Da ist auf dem Vorfeld eine andere Textur, aber auch die ist bei Schnee weiß !

Aufgenommen vor dem FSWeekend, ausgestrahlt nach dem FSWeekend: In dieser Folge besprechen eure drei Simulanten Rafi, Julius und Tommi schon mal vorab die Highlights und jonglieren dabei die Erwartungen an die Messe in Lelystad. Wer wird das WE dominieren? Und was wird die Sim-Community mitnehmen? Aber auch im normalen Tagesgeschäft der Simulanten passiert viel, etwa der Fenix-Installationsausraster von Rafi und Tommis Fundstück "⁠Arrows Across America⁠", bei dem ihr die Postflüge der 20er-Jahre nachfliegen könnt.
Auf dem aktuellen FSWeekend war PMDG seit längerem mal wieder in Europa offiziell präsent. Und das Team hatte durchaus interessantes Gepäck dabei, denn nicht nur haben sie bekannte Boeing 737 präsentiert, sondern auch die anstehende 777 ungeschminkt der Öffentlichkeit gezeigt. Und dabei auch ein paar Informationen genannt, welche so bisher nicht bekannt waren. 
Die Skisaison neigt sich so langsam aber sicher dem Ende zu. D.h. der Schnee schmilzt und die letzten Après-Ski Partys werden gefeiert. Auch wir feiern gemeinsam heute das eher anspruchsvolle Altiport fliegen und hüpfen von Airport zu Airport um uns gemeinsam der Herausforderung und dem Spaß an den Anflügen zu stellen. Kommt und fliegt mit!
