DeltaWing Simulations F-16C Block 52+

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. AUTO now runs inlet heat only with the engine running.
-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. It now reports NO RESULT TO LOAD.
-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 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:

-Fly-By-Wire handling refinement - low speed pitch and roll, turn coordination, high altitude handling.

-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

-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.
