Version History

This is the X-Plane 11 version. If you need the X-Plane 12 version get it here

The Piper PA30 Twin Comanche is 100% X-Plane 11 compatible. We purpose-built this model from the ground up to take advantage of all the new features of XPlane 11:

FMOD Sounds: We built the sound system using FMOD Studio and XPlane 11's new sound engine. Enjoy effects such as spatial 3D sound location, Doppler effects, custom interior and exterior engine sounds and a variety of different button, knob and switch clicks.

VR-Ready model: Works great in VR mode

Physical Based Rendering (PBR) textures for exterior and interior objects, to provide appropriate surface reflections and specular high-lights.

Interactive menu system with intelligent Check Lists, interactive Weight & Balance calculator, Pre- Flight Options menu and pop-up Power Settings table â€“ our new graphical on-screen menu system features interactive user choices and selections in a graphical interface.

Dynamic pilot and passengers “ go to the Weight & Balance menu to add passengers and cargo for your flight. Your passengers will appear in the cockpit of the airplane as you increase their weights on the menu. Extra luggage will appear as you increase the luggage weight. The Total Weight and Center of Gravity dynamically change as you add weight to the aircraft.

Accurate Avidyne AXP340 Transponder with power-on boot screen, Pressure Altimeter display, Flight ID display, Altitude Monitorfunction, simulated ADS-B OUT, Flight Timer, Stop Watch Timer, and power-off count-down timer. The AXP340 is the most realistic transponder simulation we've ever created.

Accurate Fuel System: Optional tip tanks are selectable from the Pre- Flight menu. With the optional tip tanks turned ON, the Twin Comanche has six (6) separate fuel tanks. X-Plane does not support separately selectable fuel tanks, so we wrote custom code that simulates running out of fuel on the selected tank. But don't worry! If you get close running out, we'll (optionally) flash a message on the screen to change tanks before you run out of fuel!

On-Screen Warnings and Notifications: 13 different warnings and notification messages will appear on the screen, depending on conditions and triggers. You can turn off the warnings and notifications from the Pre-Flight menu Options section.

Pop-Out Instruments and Gauges: several key gauges and instruments can be 'Popped out' of the panel for easier viewing. VR friendly!

Auto-Update: ShadeTree Micro Aviation (STMA) AutoUpdate plugin - your Twin Comanche will now auto-update when loaded in X-Plane

Compatible with the RealityXP GNS530 (sold separately by Reality- XP.com) - we included a RealityXP.GNS.ini file that makes the Twin Comanche ready for the RealityXP gns 530W plugin.

And: Custom HDR interior and exterior lights with custom strobe flash sequence; Custom 3-D Propeller Effects with Prop Feathering; 12 Extra Hi-Res Liveries Included â€“ and a custom Paint Kit is available for download so you can create your own livery. Fuel truck locations are set for the Twin so that you can call for Ground Service in X-Plane 11.

Version 1.3 (Feb 10th 2018)

Autopilot Fixes and other fixes

New Features:

Added ShadeTree Micro Aviation (STMA) AutoUpdate plugin - your Twin Comanche will now auto-update when loaded in X-Plane

Virtual Reality Ready! Changed all cockpit manipulators to be compatible with X-Plane virtual reality preview version 11.20vr1. The Twin is fully functional in VR, but may require more modifications before the X-Plane VR version is released

All new FMOD engine sounds created from actual Lycoming engine sound recordings

Saved-state preferences - your options and settings are now saved each time you exit X-Plane, and they will be restored when you reload

Added new storm scope instrument to panel (default X-Plane storm scope)

New control menu icon can be repositioned on screen - its position will be saved when you exit, and restored when you reload

Control menus can be resized and repositioned to your preferences - size and position will be saved when you exit and restored when you reload

Fixes:

Autopilot bug fixes: Re-wrote pa30autopilot.lua script - autopilot modes were not engaging as expected in previous version, and autopilot was not responding to X-Plane commands. Autopilot is now more compatible with standard X-Plane datarefs, and keyboard/joystick-mapped X-Plane commands can be used. Compatible X-Plane commands are:

sim/autopilot/NAV

sim/autopilot/heading

sim/autopilot/approach

sim/autopilot/back_course

sim/autopilot/servos_toggle

sim/autopilot/altitude_hold

Autopilot pitch wheel can now be adjusted with PITCH mode off

Autopilot UP/DOWN pitch wheel manipulators were backwards (up/down arrows) - fixed

Fixed problem where the airplane would pitch up or down violently when dis-engaging the autopilot

"NAV SELECT" toggle switch now correctly switches between pilot and copilot as autopilot source

Directional Gyro now shows either NAV1 or GPS course - does not show NAV2/OBS2 course (use OBS2 for NAV2 navigation)

The slip ball on the turn/slip indicator was using the wrong dataref - fixed

The "bank" indicator on the turn/slip indicator should actually indicate the rate of turn, not the bank angle. Changed accordingly.

Fixed problem with COM2/NAV2 LEDs fixed (were too dim)

Ammeter was not indicating alternator bus load correctly - according to Piper owner's web site, the Piper ammeter should indicate the demand load on the alternator bus.

Knobs and buttons on the COM2/NAV2 radio were mis-aligned

COM2 inner knob not rotating when adjusted

Fuel pump sounds continued playing after battery and engine shut down - fixed

Wing objects were missing LIT textures

Corrected LIT datarefs for wing tips strobe and nav lights

Increased brightness of landing lights

"VFR" button on transponder now toggles between 1200 and 7000 for European compatibility

Added plugin code to set audio volumes of ADF, DME and Marker based on audio panel volume knob setting

Added plugin code to set audio panel to monitor ADF1 if BFO mode (tone mode) selected on ADF receiver

Added storm scope instrument to panel – customer request

Adjusted fuel consumption - fuel flow rates are now per the POH

Fixed a problem with the GNS530 right-side knobs - they sometimes would not allow user to scroll left or right enough to select characters

Cylinder #4 CHT needle fixed - was not registering a temperature

Adjusted nose wheel steering angles for low-speed and high-speed turning introduced in XP11.10

Version 1.2 (July 22nd 2017)

Engine sounds improved with more realistic sounds

New custom airfoils and flight model improvements provided by Alan Shafto of AeroSimGaming

New digital DME receiver added to top of radio stack

Now uses X-Plane's built-in support for 3D propeller disc effects

Alternator and Radio Altimeter switches now OFF at startup "cold and dark". They are ON if the aircraft is loaded in flight or engine running.

Hide Yokes command now uses default X-Plane dataref so that the X-Plane Hide Yokes menu option works correctly

Prop wash sound now only audible from exterior views, and only when viewpoint is behind the aircraft

Added cowl flaps drag - be sure to close the cowl flaps to achieve maximum cruise speeds

Added new avionics cooling fan sound

Power Settings pop-up menu replaced with a more realistic, practical power settings table based on actual flight experience

Version 1.2 - Bug Fixes

FIXED: Engines would not start correctly if user turned off "Custom Engine Start" option

FIXED: Increased engine starter RPM ratio in PlaneMaker to allow in-flight engine restart with feathered props

FIXED: On-screen menus were out of proportion on multi-monitor setups

FIXED: Oil Pressure readings were too high

FIXED: Fuel Flow indicator was too low - changed calculations for weight of fuel using correct specific gravity values for AVGAS. Now agrees with X-Plane data output for fuel flow gals/hr

FIXED: Props were feathering too quickly - changed prop pitch rate to 22 degrees per second

FIXED: Airplane taxis too fast

FIXED: Props frozen during replay - now using X-Plane 3D prop disc instead of plugin-controlled - props are now animated during replay

FIXED: Our Weight & Balance Total Weight now matches the X-Plane total weight shown in the X-Plane Weight and Balance menu

FIXED: Left side main tank fuel pump was turning OFF when switching from right side main tank to right side auxiliary tank

FIXED: Cargo Weight slider on Weight & Balance menu was dis-proportionate to the width of the slider area

FIXED: Removed prop wash sounds from interior views - prop wash sounds now only heard from behind the aircraft in exterior views

FIXED: Autopilot elevator trim effort indicator now correctly shows the difference between trim wheel selected pitch and current aircraft pitch (many thanks to Kuikueg from X-Plane.org forum who provided this fix)

FIXED: NAV tail lamp was shining omni-directional. Changed to shining only aft-ward.

FIXED: Landing gear tires too low on pavement

FIXED: Engine gauges for CHT were off scale

FIXED: CHT/EGT gauges were slightly off scale
