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:

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.
