•Manually entered magnetic variation (CDU OPTIONS page) will now be applied to all directions in TAD and CDU. Exception is CDU OFFSET page, which always uses the variation computed by EGI.

•The map convergence correction was applied to TAD. Now the flight plan line is always oriented straight up when the aircraft is flying along it.

•Fixed MRS/DRC calculations for CBU-97.

•DRC/MRS calculations now account for target elevation - i.e. they should work correctly in mountains.

•PBIL does not move oddly (like going parallel to horizon) anymore on low altitude deliveries.

•CCIP pipper does not jitter anymore with CBU-97.

•TGP line-of-sight does not return to the LSS start point anymore when laser track was exited.

•Default CBU-97/105 open height is temporarily changed to 1800 ft.

•So called ‘initial points’ will be loaded with correct elevation into CDU.

•Fixed FPS drop down by 30-40% when ILS is turned on.

•Search radars now display correctly on the RWR.

So the testers have not tested what has just been released?

[MadTommy]

Need seeds please.. very slow d/l right now.

 

Time remaining.. 1 year 1 week ;)

[Nate--IRL--]

So the testers have not tested what has just been released?

 

This is RC5 - RC4 was going to be released until we found a small glitch in the options. This has been fixed. The Major 1.1.1.1 Version has been locked for sometime - and has been extensively tested. The RCs were ironing out the little imperfections left.

 

Nate

[MTFDarkEagle]

Excellent :)

 

Just a question (don't shoot :D): is 1.1.1.1 still compatible with BS2?

[Nate--IRL--]

BS2 1.1.1.1 should be along soon.
