DeltaWing Simulations F-16C Block 52+ 09-10-26 - Version 1.7.0_1b XP12 Fixes: -Fixed the FCR range stepping up to 160 on its own and not coming back down with the MFD buttons. A HOTAS axis assigned on the tablet now only takes effect once it is moved, and the cursor can no longer undo an MFD range change by sitting at the edge of the display. -Fixed the LOCK voice playing every time FCR Bug Next Target or FCR Bug Previous Target was used. It now plays only when a target is locked. -Fixed the DED INC/DEC rocker not tuning the COM1 and COM2 preset channels. Scrolling the preset channel now tunes the radio straight away, on the COM pages and on the CNI page. -The CNI page now shows the COM1 and COM2 frequencies actually tuned, not the selected preset. -Renamed the kneepad checklist "Before takeoff checklist" to "Before taxi - systems checks". Its items are the systems checks done before taxi. 29-09-26 - Version 1.7.0_0b XP12 Fixes: -Fixed the aircraft being unable to reach 9 g when leftover payload weight saved on the pilot station moved the centre of gravity forward. -The payload stations no longer pick up phantom weight from X-Plane's re-arm or Weight & Balance. Only the Mission Editor loads them. -Fixed the jet jolting back and forth when pulling maximum g at low speed. -Fixed the nose being pushed down after releasing the stick from a high g pull. -Fixed the slow uncommanded roll with the stick released. -Fixed the HUD getting stuck in Dogfight mode after cycling the DOGFIGHT/MRM switch. -Fixed the pop-up DED, which did not draw at all. -Fixed the radar antenna elevation control, which could not be moved. -Fixed the RWR contacts being offset by the magnetic variation, and ghost contacts remaining on the scope. -Fixed the HMCS going blank after returning to NAV. -Fixed an error when firing the last air to air missile. -Fixed the MFD jumping to the DOGFIGHT page when no missiles are left. The AAM / MSL page now stays up with its weapon fields blank. -Fixed an error in the HUD missile diamond while a target is locked. -Fixed the gun sound and HUD gun cues going silent while the Mission Editor handles the gun. -Fixed the emergency jettison leaving Mission Editor stores on the aircraft. -Fixed the AOA indexer lights staying dark. -Fixed the NWS light staying on after takeoff. -Fixed the standby ADI snapping when caged. PULL TO CAGE now slews the sphere to level. -Fixed the MFD TEST and DTE pages, which now work. -Fixed MASTER CAUTION, which could not be reset. Pressing it now puts it out until the next caution comes on, except while ELEC SYS is lit. -MASTER CAUTION no longer comes on for the warning lights (CANOPY, TO/LDG CONFIG, OXY LOW) or for the low speed, altitude and pull up warnings. It now comes on for SEAT NOT ARMED. -Fixed the SMS page showing no missiles, or no selected station, after a re-arm from the Mission Editor. -Fixed missiles launching with MASTER ARM off or in SIM under the Mission Editor. Missiles now need MASTER ARM at ARM. -Fixed the fuel tanks emptying in the wrong order. Wing and CFT fuel now feeds the fuselage tanks, so F-1, F-2 and A-1 stay full until it is gone. -Fixed the EXT FUEL TRANS switch. External fuel now goes into the wing tanks, centerline first in NORM and the wing tanks first in WING FIRST, and the CFTs are used first only in CFT FIRST / NO FILL. -Fixed the fuel totalizer and the DED BINGO total: the external wing tanks were missing from the total in NORM, and the total could rise by a pound or two during a transfer from the Mission Editor's external tanks. -Fixed various manual issues. Additions: -The kneepad is now a rugged tablet with its own apps, a day/night theme and a portrait/landscape swivel, in both the 3D cockpit and the pop-up. -Data cartridges can now be saved and loaded as files without the Mission Editor, from the kneepad FLT PLAN page and the MFD DTE page. -Added the Data Cartridge Editor for editing steerpoints, radio presets, TACAN, ILS and the cartridge name. -Added a DATA CARTRIDGE entry to X-Plane's aircraft menu. -Added a pop-out icon to the kneepad tablet's status bar, so the tablet can be popped out of the cockpit again. The viper/Menu command still does the same. -Added the air to air GUN mode on the SMS page, with the EEGS gunsight. -Added all five EEGS gunsight levels, with a bullet stream funnel. -Added the Dogfight ACM radar modes (30x20, BORE and 10x60), selected with TMS. -Added the AIM-9 missile diamond to the Dogfight HUD. -Added the HMCS view outside VR, and reworked the HMCS symbology (RWR cues, declutter, blanking and alignment). -Added the DED pages DEST DIR, MAN, INS, CMDS BINGO, MAGV, GPS, BULL, HMCS DISPLAY and ALIGN. -Added the MFD pages TEST (fault list, including FLCS faults), DTE, HSD CNTL, FCR CNTL and DCLT. -Added the NWS / A/R DISC / MSL STEP stick button. On the ground it toggles nosewheel steering. In the air it steps missiles (short press) or missile type (long press), and steps the air to ground delivery mode. -Added analog HOTAS axes for cursor slew, antenna elevation and manual range, and for the ICP SYM, BRT, RET DEPR and CONT wheels. Set them up on the kneepad HOTAS AXES page. -Added the ALR-56M style RWR scope, with threat symbols, lethality rings and new warning tones. -Added flight control surface and hydraulic failures. -Added radio state output for the Mission Editor. -Added afterburner shock diamonds, an afterburner glow inside the tailpipe that grows with the burner stage, and engine fire effects. Improvements: -Horizontal tail travel and rate now match the real aircraft. -Refined the fuselage shape in the flight model. -Smoother return to 1 g when the stick is released. -HUD reworked: conformal pitch ladder, real symbol sizes, one line width in every mode, and every HUD control panel switch now works. -HUD warnings reworked, including the ALOW and ALIGN flashes and WARN RESET. -The DED now uses the real 5 line, 24 character layout. -Engine exhaust effects now start at the nozzle. -Better frame rate: the displays only redraw when their content changes. -On a hot start the HMCS brightness is set to maximum and the RWR is switched on. -Updated SASL to 3.23.1. -Manual updated: new tablet chapter, new pages and figures, and a glossary with 93 terms. 25-08-26 - Version 1.6.3_5r1 XP12 Fixes: -Fixed the cockpit displays going blank after recalling a COM1 or COM2 preset channel that had never been programmed. -Fixed the backup UHF radio CHAN window never showing the selected channel. -Fixed COM1 and COM2 preset recall tuning the radio to zero instead of the stored preset frequency. -Fixed a regression that parked the EPU fuel gauge on empty. A serviced EPU now reads full. -Fixed a regression that made the cabin pressure altitude gauge read ten times too high. -Fixed the external fuel tank gauges showing a full tank on stations with no tank fitted. -Fixed the DED time page showing a fixed 01/13/22 date instead of the simulator date. -Fixed the IFF MASTER knob not returning the transponder to standby when moved down. -Fixed the ANTI ICE switch driving X-Plane's global anti-ice rather than engine inlet heat. -Fixed the PROBE HEAT switch leaving pitot, static and AOA probe heat on after being switched off. -Fixed ICP key 1 not changing the source on the DED FIX page, which was stuck on OFLY. -Fixed the kneepad LOAD TO DED button doing nothing when the calculator had no result. -Fixed various manual issues. Additions: -Added a new update available notification. 17-08-26 - Version 1.6.3_0r1 XP12 Fixes: -Fixed HSD targets sitting on top of the aircraft symbol and never moving when the display was decoupled (DCPL). -Fixed the MASTER CAUTION light never illuminating for the low speed and altitude warnings. -Fixed the ENGINE caution light illuminating when a failure was armed in X-Plane rather than when it actually occurred. -Fixed the FLCS caution light, which could not illuminate at all. Additions: -CAT I / CAT III is now simulated. The STORES CONFIG switch sets the g limit, maximum AOA, roll rate and rudder authority. -In CAT III the g limit also varies with aircraft weight. -Added the STORES CONFIG caution light. It lights when the switch does not match the loading, either way, until it is corrected. -Added the rudder authority limiter. Pedal authority now reduces with AOA and with roll rate, and reaches zero at high AOA. -Added FLCS failures, from X-Plane's Failures menu: air data and AOA sensors, leading edge flap lock, and control channels. -Added the FLCS BIT. On the ground the BIT switch sweeps the control surfaces and reports a pass or a failure. -The BIT switch drops out on its own when the test ends, and the test is cancelled if the aircraft starts moving. -Added FLCS RESET. Faults hold until the switch is pressed, so the reset procedures work: the light either clears or stays on. -Added standby gains, engaged by a dual air data failure, with the FLCS warning light. -Added the DIGITAL BACKUP (DBU) switch and the DBU ON warning light, so the preflight DBU check can be carried out. Improvements: -Turn coordination (ARI) is now unavailable on the ground roll and at very high AOA, returning once the wheels spin down. -Roll rate is now correctly reduced below 250 knots, so roll response there is deliberately softer than in previous versions. -MASTER CAUTION reworked. Every caution light now feeds it, and it goes out when the condition that caused it clears. -MASTER CAUTION is lit on the ground before the engine is running, which is normal. -Leading edge flaps now hold their position when locked by a failure, which noticeably affects high AOA handling. 15-07-26 - Version 1.6.2_0r1 XP12 Fixes: -Fixed display and HUD freeze (and disappearing drag chute) when entering replay. -Fixed crash when entering Dogfight or Air to Air mode with no weapons loaded. -Fixed gun ammo count not decreasing while firing. -Fixed cabin altitude reading 10 times too high. -Fixed external fuel tank quantity being shown when no tank is installed. -Fixed low speed warning triggering too early at light weight (now scales with weight and AoA). -Fixed kneepad calculator dropping decimals on negative coordinates. -Fixed steering point AUTO/MAN sequencing to work independently of the autopilot. -Fixed radar (RWS) showing stale ghost contacts. -Fixed right MFD button press animating the left MFD. -Fixed ANTI-SKID switch position applying a parking brake at low taxi speed. Additions: -Added Mission Editor Data Transfer Cartridge (DTC) receiver - loads steering points, threat points and radio presets. -Added threat and steering point symbology on the HSD, with threat radius rings. -Added a dedicated Air to Air missile HUD with ASE circle. -Added HUD symbology glow. Improvements: -Major Fly-By-Wire overhaul - clean 9G tracking, coordinated turns, real stabilator travel limits, retuned AoA limiter. -Fly-By-Wire handling refinement - low speed pitch and roll, turn coordination, high altitude handling. -HSD symbology now scales with range (symbols get smaller as you zoom out). -Decluttered and refined the Dogfight/EEGS gun sight. -Wheel brake channel now defaults to PARKING BRAKE. -SASL upgrade to 3.22.5. 10-03-26 - Version 1.6.1_0r1 XP12 Fixes: -Fixed TACAN not showing correct Bearing on HSI. -Fixed AoA Indicator on six pack, it was showing the actual Nose pitch position. -Fixed Fuel Flow indication, it is now changing numbers when near the next 100th, 1000th and 10000th with correct logic. -Fixed EPU to always show 100%, not yet 100% simulated. -Fixed IFF M1/M3, M1/MS switch to now enable transponder mode 3 in M1/M3 and mode 2 in M1/MS position. -Fixed Cabin Pressure Altitude to show the actual Cabin Pressure Altitude. -Moved HUD Speed, Altimeter, Heading and crosshair positions to be closer to the positions of the real HUD. -Fixed Fuel indicator not displaying correct information. Additions: Improvements: -SASL upgrade to 3.21.2 11-07-25 - Version 1.6.0_7r1 XP12 Fixes: -Fixed Heading Hold not working for autopilot. -Fixed CRS not being set from the DED. -Fixed Autopilot not disconnecting when pulling on the stick.
