v6.04a (14th December 2019)
Systems:
DG drift (after flight reset) - fixed
ICAO name changed from X-EFOX to EFOX
Fully operational fuel system was set. Make sure to operate the fuel valves during flight (master fuel valve underneath the cockpit panel - on the left side, left/right tanks fuel valves behind the seats, on the sides).
Fully operational choke system was added
3D modeling:
Initial, simplified additions were made (will be fully detailed down the development road):
Animated Elevator trim plate was added.
Rudder trim plate was added (fixed, just as in the real aircraft).
Interaction:
Altimeter setting sensitivity tuneup.
Airspeed indicator is now having the following scales:
mph + knots (combined with a dual scale).
kph (click on the ASI bezel to toggle).
Systems:
version 6.0 (10th December 2019):
Major Update Release
- Major Update Release
- Project internal architecture - preparations for painting kit (and for partial re-mapping):
- All 3 variants are now sharing a single fuselage texture file.
- All 3 variants are now sharing a single panel texture file.
- All 3 variants are now sharing a single panel (preps for features implementations for all variants at once).
- Interaction:
- Co-pilot was added, will be visible when the payload exceeds his weight (~73 kg / ~160 pounds).
- Interior modeling + texturing rework:
- ~80% of the textures are of enhanced resolution.
- Seats, seat belts remodeled.
- Baggage compartment accessories (bag, first aid kit) were added.
- Main panel - instruments (modeling, PBR, night textures).
- Glass covers added to warning lights.
- Carbon monoxide detector was added.
- Front cockpit frame rods dash-opening.
- Transponder is now standard is width.
- Exterior modeling + textures:
- PBR works all around.
- Air scoops intakes remodeled.
- Systems:
- Magneto rocker switches datarefs changed (now slider[1], slider[2]).
- Cockpit lighting for night flight was added (connected to the main bus - switch on automatically when there is current).
- Low-res magnetic compass was replaced with DG.

Version 5.0b1 (June 18th 2018)
3D modeling:
Internal engineering modification to set the foundations to different cockpit panel layouts for each of the variants in the future.
Artificial Horizon and engine instrument gauges remodeled in 3D.
Low resolution textures for most of the cockpit panel was upgraded to high resolution.
PBR normals for the aircraft were added (interior/exterior).
