Release 1.9.1 update

  • Task time and task speed so far on task displayed on B21 Nav Panel
  • If NO tow connection, then “rudder waggle” will CALL a tow. THIS REQUIRES SIM UPDATE 12 (CTD bugfix).
  • B21 Nav Panel will set the “Start” waypoint as current when task is loaded.
  • Red arc on ASI (Vne) now adjusts for altitude.
  • Flutter sound corrected to TAS Vne – starts at Vne(TAS) + 10%
  • B21 Nav Panel now provides ‘gold star’ for task completion without assists such as slew or engine, and also notes on Task page assists (such as slew, engine, time adjustment, overspeed) or potential assists such as modified cfg files relevant to the flight model. Assists such as slew are only recorded after passing task start. Programming effort to defeat these checks is NOT in the spirit of this freeware and should be declared or viewed as a “cheat” if comparing multiplayer flights.
  • Four new liveries are added: Sweden/BGLS and three from Rik R78 (thanks for those).
  • LCD ‘instrument off’ backgrounds are darker for the modern instruments.
  • Alternative ‘wav’ sound files are included for vario beeps i.e. “vario_pos.wav” and “vario_neg.wav”. E.g. “sound/vario_pos-sine.wav” can be copied over “vario_pos.wav”.
  • Already tested to be SU12 compatible, but no option for that yet…

Release 1.8.3 update

  • Flutter simulation added TAS 82.22 m/s
  • Added track line on nav map
  • Overstress damage speeds adjusted
  • Nav glider icon center point moved back from nose so circling looks more natural.
  • BUGFIX for nav panel blank waypoints filling display after settings change.
  • Performance tuning for custom maps (reduced update cycle for map panning).

1.8.2:

  • IMPORTANT: this release contains a bugfix for an FPS issue caused by takeoff/landing on grass.
  • Significant Nav Panel upgrade with choice of maps in addition to the the default MSFS/Bing. Wind arrow added to map and all map styles working North Up and Track Up.
  • Zoom in/out added to thermalling aid
  • Support for MSFS aerotow, winch launch with Jimmy wing-runner, in addition to existing built-in winch and motor launch. Yellow cable release knob can be used to reject MSFS launch at load-in and release MSFS aerotow/winch cable after launch.
  • C of G and trim speeds adjusted for improved range from max speed fully ballasted to low speed unballasted.
  • Water ballast re-implemented using the new MSFS support and accepting the new TOGGLE WATER BALLAST VALVE control input. The existing TOGGLE NAV/LANDING/BEACON LIGHTS controls are retained for the individual switches and are necessary for multiplayer visibility of the ballast effects.
  • Variometer sound updated improving frequency range and ‘steps’ in the audio and mellowing the tone. Controls input “INCREASE/DECREASE COM3 VOLUME” added for home-cockpit control of vario volume.
  • ‘Wind’ sound improved for more pilot feedback from stall to Vne.
  • Pilot model changed and now defaults to “OFF” so less confusion with the default cockpit camera position. Red button on stick still controls pilot ON/OFF.
  • Cockpit camera positions updated for better default view and support for ‘quicklook’ left, up, right.

1.8.2.A : Bugfix adding “ui_typerole=Glider” to livery planes in aircraft.cfg
1.8.2.B : Tow release knob now drops the MSFS tow cable
1.8.2.C : Winch speed adjusted, pilot model position adjusted, thermalling display ‘time backwards’ tweak.

1.7.3 Update Info:

  • Multiplayer animations include engine extract and ballast dump
  • Flight model improvements to pitch stability, elevator authority, positive flaps modelling.
  • Sound updates wind, flaps, winch
  • Nav Panel updates incl. scrollable task page for long tasks.

1.62 Update Info:

  • Adverse yaw, adjustable via a mouse-over of the radio frequency swap button (see image in gallery). You can adjust the adverse yaw on a range 0..1, or leave it alone for a reasonable default value.
  • Included library of liveries, tested and working in multiplayer. As part of the standard package so you can be confident other AS33 owners will recognise your plane.
  • Animations updated to work across multiplayer as well as possible, so including gear, spoilers and control surfaces (but not yet the extending prop or the ballast dump effects).
  • In-cockpit textures updated to desaturate some of the colors.

1.51 Update Info:
The update incorporates a code refresh for the recent sim updates PLUS the following features:

  • Key/button mappings provided for the main interactions in the glider, so you can set buttons on your stick, mouse or keyboard to improve access to the panel/controls.
  • Built-in winch launch added (click the yellow tow-release knob), in addition to the existing engine/prop self-launch.
  • New thermalling display added to the central nav panel (see the update video linked above for an overview).
  • Accurate max 56:1 flight performance, calibrated across all flap settings and with/without ballast.
  • Self-launch via retractable engine
  • Full competition soaring panel. Total-energy, netto and speed-to-fly varios. State-of-the-art Nav Panel with moving map with task including start/finish lines. XCSoar-style flight data display including required glide slope to waypoint, achieved glide, and predicted arrival height. Predicted altitude calculation can be applied around multiple waypoints factoring in the headwind/tailwind affecting each leg. Task page which confirms task completion giving completion distance and speed plus speeds for each leg of the task.
  • Metric/Imperial units settable for all instruments, plus personal preferences such as dark or light instrument backgrounds.

Thanks to everyone who has provided great feedback to help us bring you our sailplanes / gliders for MSFS 2020.

Detail Features:

  • The self-launch engine is designed for simplicity, i.e. from a stowed engine the engine start is designed to take 12 seconds (engine management on, engine extract, throttle up to start)
  • Main Nav Panel shows real time map display with flight plan, attitude indicator, and other aircraft.
  • Airspeed indicator and main Vario feature multi function menu’s with various uptions (please explore the menus, we hope you like them).
  • ASI will glow red when approaching stall or overspeed and incorporates digital airspeed, air pressure and altitude.
  • Vario incorporates Maccready Setting, Speed To Fly (units and green needle indication) and average climb rate.
  • Multifunction display below the ASI defaults to compass with wind direction and speed. Changing trim will automatically switch to the trim screen and flicking the Ballast Dump toggle switches will automatically switch the screen to the ballast display screen. The screen will default back to the compass after a few seconds.
  • The vario sound is configurable on / off / or lift only. A volume knob is provided.
  • The “Task” page on the Nav panel will show the task loaded from a MSFS Flight Plan, and allow the Start and Finish waypoints to be set so task speeds can be calculated and displayed. On task completion a summary is provided including validation of waypoints and overall speed.
  • Negative flaps are accurately modelled, i.e. the ‘-2’ flap is optimal from Vne to 160kph, ‘-1’ to 130kph, and ‘0’ below 130 kph.
  • Ballast is modelled with the weights of the tanks correct and in the correct places, dumping takes the same amout of time as the real AS33 (3..4 mins) with a ballast effect. MSFS does a very good job adjusting the aicraft handling between fully ballasted and dry.
  • Just like the real glider, this model features the Alexander Scheicher anti collision light on the tail section which is activated with the toggle switch labeled Strobe.
  • The wheel brake is linked to the spoilers and is effective between 75% and 100%. A red bar on the ASI indicates the spoiler extension, and a similar red bar on the vario indicatios the use of the wheel brake.
  • Plus many more, please spend some time exploring the model and features
  • Includes wingflex, adverse yaw
