Changelog

🚧 New release : v3.4.1 (2024-11-06)

MSFS2024 information:

• This plane is currenlty mostly compatible with MSFS2024 as a legacy port, that is to say, without fancy new 2024 features.
• It flies the same, all features work the same. The current issues in dev alpha are common to all aircrafts from MSFS2020 (lights, pilots avatars…)
• One feature is not compatible anymore : manual defrost uses a hack on the windshield that’s very bad in MSFS2024 : I need to remove it I’ll probably try to work on it and make it a native MSFS2024 plane : use native dust/mud layers, native pax & cargo if we can Of course, if my computer can handle it (not sure at all)

Changes:

• added lights on radios and GPS : use the light knob to adjust
• removed manual defrost for MSFS2024 compatibility

I wish you good bush flights either on MSFS2020 or on MSFS2024 !

🚧 New release : v3.3.0 (2024-10-30)

Following the Reims Rocket update, here’s the GPS update too !

This updates brings two radio stack variants :

• WT GNS430
• KLN90b Use the book to select them, like the other variants.

Other new features :

• Panel cover can now be used with G5 units
• New 3D model for HSI

Fixes:

• GPS & NAV emissive label in HDI fix (on correct circuit)
• Gauges textures reworked a little

If you want to use the KLN90B, you’ll have to install in your community dir the mod from falcon71. Get it on github

🚧 New release : v3.2.1 (2024-06-03)

Fixes:

• Wrong checklist entries
• GPU was showing in air spawn when active in state saving

🚧 New release : v3.2.0

New feature:

• Manual defrost : It is prohibited to fly in icing condition with this plane but in case it’s too late and you really need to see a little more through the windshield, use the ice scraper after opening the window, and land as quickly as possible ! demo

Fixes:

• Sportsman material (comp error)
• gpu trap door texture

🚧 New release : v3.1.0

Fixes:

• Frost material corrected (it was plain white)
• Landing and taxi lights correct positions (thanks to delta2k5 report)

🚧 New release : v3.0.0

Major rework :

• I have abandonned the reference to the 2 existing asobo interior models (G1000 & classic), as it was getting harder and harder to follow the updates and impossible to debug with encrypted files
• All features from my other mods have been backported to this one through a huge model edit :
  • working doors, windows, sunvisors
  • a configuration book to choose all options
  • wheel chocks, tiedowns, covers, gpu
  • VFR maps on a cardboard on the yoke
  • a tablet to display external applications (sky4sim, fs mca, vfrmap…)
  • visible pilot, copilot, passengers
  • custom seats configuration (pax, cargo)
  • checklist cards and flip checklist box
  • various radio stacks (vfr, all radios, pms750, tds750nxi)
  • optionnal garmin G5 units
  • state saving
  • Retro interiors (a few liveries available)
  • etc.
• New features and fixes for this mod :
  • Manual flaps lever between the seats (you can use an axis/mouse or up/down buttons through 4 positions)
  • Rivets are now rendered correctly
  • prop animation fixed, materials updated
  • light blueish windshield (exterior only)

Please, note that old liveries will need to be updated for this plane : it’s like a new variant. Texture pictures will be fully compatible, it’s a matter of configuration and layout changes only ! Feel free to contact me if you need support.

That’s a lot of changes and I hope there won’t be too much bugs left. Hoppefuly not enough to let you enjoy the bush ways !

Fly low, fly safe !

I have not started the flight model tuning update yet. I’ll do it as soon as I can !

Asobo has not replied to my access request to the missing (encrypted) files. I hope they’ll do.

Known bugs :

• if the classic 172 Textron has the fuel valve locked on the left tank, you will have the same problem in this plane with the classic version.

• small square glitch under the win thanks to Airpac1

There is still work to do on this model, especialy with the flight model that is still overpowered.

I have asked Asobo the access to the missing (encrypted) files of the classic version in order to have a fully working cockpit. I hope they’ll grant it to modders
