BAC 1-11 update - release candidate

Fingers crossed, this 1-11 update will soon be out on my website.
I'd like to first see if any CBFS 1-11 pilots would like to try it (or anyone else who may wander in here).
I've been using these models for the past few weeks & all seems well.
All the normal download files have been updated.

Changes made

• Extra pedestal night lighting for VC
  'Grabable' controls in VC
  Simulated engine 'Top Temp' limiter (from VC pedestal only)
  Hopefully more realistic engine temperature performance (Spey 512)
  Much improved Thrust Index gauges (100% for takeoff gives a proper rated thrust)
  VC views panel included for co-pilot position
  'G force' flexing wings
  Wing views + On/Off toggle
  Fixed minor bug where APU switch was sticking.
  More accurate air system & pressurization, including Safety Value & Ram Air switches
  ILS backcourse now operational
  More realistic stall warn with stick push if not rectified
  2D panel lights & VC roof lights now work independantly
  Proper generator switch action
  HSI - To/From indicator added
  Attitude Indicator - proper CDI + VOR/LOC flag
  Authentic sounds for stick shaker, stick pusher, overspeed, takeoff config warning, engine fires
  Also extra beeps & horns for Altitude alert & Cabin Height
  To avoid clutter, Toggle icons are now all on their own popup window
  ADF tuning knobs move the correct numbers (as per the real radio unit)
  AP disengage light works
  Working engine fire test, stall test & overspeed test switches
  26 deg flap drag reduced slightly, can now use technique given in AA 1-11 400 manual. 26 deg & 45 deg selected before intercepting glide slope.
  Drift degrees added to info on 'Check List' popup window
  Engines respond quicker in higher RPM range, idle to full time more realistic.
  Gear warning settings corrected

Think that's about it.
This model is not intended for FSX, it's for FS9.
Seems I'll have to make a separate FSX version to cope with the MSFS teams idea of backward compatibility. :huf:
There should be a Trident update to follow in the next few days.

Hi Dave,

Extras look rather nice, I'll try them out tomorrow some time. Re the drift that you've added to the checklist pop-up, is Landing Lights ON for take-off on there yet? I can't wait to see the wing flex.

Hi John

the landing lights have been on the active checklist for well over a year for me

Well I'm resisting landing lights 'on' as a compulsory check for takeoff.
It's dead easy with FlyNet though, you're ok to go if all the first column are ticks & all the second column are crosses.
Landing lights 'off' is an included check after takeoff.

As a point of interest, the Trident manual (real one) says that landing lights are under no circumstances ever to be extended during takeoff. :think:

DM

Yes, but doesn't the Trident have fixed and extendible landing lights?

Tks DM,

I'll pay attention to the second column X's from now on

Tried update last night very nice.

Best regards

Took my new improved G-ASTJ for a test spin today, excellent work DM! I particularly like the stall warning and stick pusher, certainly gets your attention if you've let it wander... And the icons panel is very handy but out of sight when not needed. Night lighting looks great too, all in all another great update, thanks :dance:

Quick addition to my last post - did a VA flight in G-ASTJ today to Frankfurt to test it all 'for real' and all the little details make for a very immersive aircraft. I got the benefit of the altitude alert and cabin pressurization sounds (took me a while to identify what the pressurization warning was :redface: )

The 1-11 is definitely my favourite aircraft at the mo, great work DM !

Thanks for giving it a try everyone.

Yes the cabin height warning is bound to confuse a lot of people.
You can cancel the horn by clicking on the amber warning light on the centre panel.
If you're not bothered about setting cabin pressure, you should just click the safety valve switch (centre panel) to 'CLOSE' before you take off. The horn shouldn't go off then.

I'm going to make the 1-11 & Trident updates available from my website on Monday.

Thanks
DM
