Level-D si i na chystaném updatu dává záležet  Navíc už je k dispozici krásný nový manuál: http://www.leveldsim.com/files/LVLD767_Manual_for_FSX.zip
Changes and Additional Features in Version 1.40 (for FSX)
Level-D module
- Improved "Import Panel Data"
- Added “Load FMC data” to import panel data dialog
- Added engine status, flaps, gear, speed brake, radios, trim & barometric settings imported with panel data
- Extended turn range for pushback ( from -150° to +150° )
- FSX pushback truck synchronized with the pushback dialog
FMC
- FMC VNAV descent behaviour based on the Pegasus version of the FMC
- VNAV descent compensates for WINDS
- VNAV descent code handles any combination of altitude constraints (AT, AT/ABOVE, AT/BELOW)
- VNAV slows before descending when initial descent speed is slower than cruise speed
- Added INSUFFICIENT FUEL, DRAG/THRUST REQUIRED messages
- Fixed SIDs being deleted when approach was selected
- Fixed proper selection of STAR runway transitions when runway was changed
- Fixed ALTN airport STARs & approaches were missing on ARR page
- Fixed selecting NONE for approach transitions crash
- Fixed IDENT page info with situation load
Pedestal
- Right ADF & ILS now powered by the Standby AC bus
- Left VHF Comm now powered by the Standby DC bus
- Standby Comm freqs now saved & restored with flights
- Fixed wrong rudder trim dynamic tooltip indication
- Added an aileron trim dynamic tooltip
Electrical
- Left RDMI lighting, needles and compass card now powered by the Standby AC Bus
- Right RDMI lighting, needles and compass card now powered by the Right Main AC Bus
- VOR L & ADF R now powered by the Standby AC Bus
- VOR R & DME R now powered by the Right Main AC Bus
- ADF L & DME L now powered by the Left Main AC Bus
Flight Model
- Modified flight model to real world climb performance
Visual Model
- New FSX visual model
- Light bloom feature
- Old FS9 liveries are fully compatible
Virtual Cockpit
- New gauge illumination effect
- Added camera points of view
- Deleted 2D Cockpit Side/Back views. FSX does not support bitmap views
- Hidden clickspot for setting airspeed bugs now active from the VC
Miscellaneous
- RDMIs: VOR/ADF flags show and pointers INOP when source data is not available
- EHSIs: ADF pointers do not display when source data is not available
- Manual settings for NAV1/NAV2 receivers are restored when switching from AUTO to MAN
- Updated default Level-D keyboard commands for FSX compatibility
- Fixed unwanted RAT deployment while loading a flight
- Level-D menu items are now dynamic (they disappear when they were grayed in FS2004)
- A/T will maintain Flight Idle ~32% in all AT modes
- Fixed the A/T going to IDLE in VNAV_PATH cruise if above cruise altitude
Support
- Enhanced Pilot’s manual including comprehensive tutorial flight
- Start-up flight for the tutorial included (see FSX Missions)
Level-D SDK
- Fixed SPD light on Aerosoft’s MCP when FLCH is in altitude capture mode
- Fixed Clock Elapsed Timer state (left and right)
- Updated LVLD_SDK headers for C++ compatibility
- Added “L:LVLDAutobrakes” xml read/write variable
Configuration Manager
- Updated and revised for FSX. Instructions included with utility & manual documentation
Repaint Manager
- Updated and revised for FSX. Instructions included with utility & manual documentation
A Note on Pegasus FMC descent behavior (for FSX)
The descent logic in the FSX version of the 767 has changed quite a bit from what you're used to in FS9. This was done to simulate the behaviour of the Pegasus version of the FMC, which differs quite a bit from earlier models. Below is a quick point description of the logic.
VNAV descent logic for PEGASUS FMC
ON Path
within speed limits and alt limits
Pitch mode = VNAV PTH; AT mode = throttle drops to IDLE, then enters HOLD
idle descent phase Speed limits +/- 15 knots, up to Mmo/Vmo-11 knots or down to speed protection
past idle phase Speed limits +/- 10 knots, up to Mmo/Vmo-11 knots or down to speed protection
overspeed reverts to:
Pitch mode = VNAV SPD; AT mode = IDLE to HOLD, aircraft pitches to VNAV speed
DRAG_REQUIRED message
underspeed reverts to:
Pitch mode = VNAV PATH; AT mode = SPD, aircraft throttles up to maintain min speed
THRUST_REQUIRED message if AT is disengaged
Above path* (speed window closed):
Pitch mode = VNAV SPD; AT mode = IDLE to Hold,
aircraft pitches to VNAV speed + 15 (limited by Mmo/Vmo-11 knots)
DRAG_REQUIRED message
Below path* (speed window closed):
Pitch mode = VNAV SPD AT mode = SPD, aircraft pitches to -1250fpm
thrust added to maintain VNAV speed
In VNAV PATH descent opening the MCP speed window results in the pitch mode changing to VNAV SPD. The aircraft leaves the path and pitches to MCP SPD. Programmed not below altitudes will be honored if encountered, however speed constraints will not.
VNAV “Approach” sub mode.
This non-annunciated sub mode becomes active when inside 25nm, or past the first WPT of an approach, or if the runway is the active WYPT, or FLAPS down. In this sub mode when the MCP Speed window is opened the FMC remains in VNAV PATH, with A/T maintaining MCP speed. This approach mode allows VNAV to be used with speed intervention on approach. (We model the option in which this mode also engages whenever flaps are selected.)
*Above path / Below path means more than +/- 500 ft |
