ToLiss has yesterday issued a rather extensive update for their Airbus A319 rendition for X-Plane 11. The update brings the functionalities of the A319 to the A321 CEO level. The update can be already downloaded through the updater located in the aircraft files or by downloading the new files from the stores soon.
As mentioned earlier, the update is rather extensive and brings many new features as well as bug fixes to the aircraft. This includes, for example, the ability to switch and use imperial units in the FMGS and weight and cabin temperatures, or completely reworked engine failure handlings.
Furthermore, lateral control laws have been improved for better handlig during engine failure, the EWD on the ECAM displays has been reworked for better accuracy, and callouts have been added for “Minimum” and “100 Above”.
For livery painters, the liveries can now be configured through a configuration file, and the aircraft registration is now a separate object with a separate texture to be able to easily change the registration.
Numerous bugs have been fixed as well with this update. It is recommended to go through the complete changelog below if you would like to learn more about what did this update bring.
The aircraft can be purchased through the X-Plane.org Store for approximately €65.
The announcement was made through the ToLiss Facebook Page.
Changelog (v1.5.2)
Major new features:
- Option to use imperial units for FMGS, weights and cabin temperatures
- Complete rework of engine failure handling: ECAM actions and speed target rework, beta target added
Minor new features:
- Improved lateral control laws for better handling during engine failures
- Added injected faults to the situation save.
- Complete rework for the managed speed computation for a given CI during the climb phase
- Retuning of the fuel burn for the existing engine types (IAE + CFM)
- Rework of the EWD for better accuracy of the representation
- Livery specific configuration items can now be done via a livery configuration file
- Added support for approaches with MA route points between the MAP and the runway, like e.g. LOWI RNP-Y for Rwy 08
- Oil quantity now decreases when the engine is running and increases when engine is stopped and all the oil accumulates in the sump.
- Crew oxygen is now consumed if you breath through the oxygen mask.
- Aircraft registration is now in a separate object (selcal.obj) with separate texture to easily adapt the registration to custom liveries
- Added Minimum and 100 above callouts for MDA minima
- FMGS can now compute predictions across discontinuities
Bug fixes:
- Improved Glide Slope tracking performance
- Fixed an issue on XP10 that could disable LNAV tracking
- Improved GPWS mode 2 performance to reduce occurance of false warnings
- Fixed behaviour of FIX INFO page when two radials are entered and the first radial is cleared
- When copying the active FPLN into the SEC FPLN, the SEC FPLN page is now called automatically
- The ILS frequency is no longer deleted when entering the GA phase
- In DES phase, when extending flaps or slats, the managed speed target remains unaffected now, as it should
- When moving the thrust levers into reverse prior to touch down, the associated ECAM warning now self-clears upon touch-down
- Speed target in GA phase reduced to Green dot (rather than 250kts/CI speed)
- During TO, in SRS mode, the magenta bug now remains on the V2 mark, but the AP controls pitch to achieve a speed between V2+10 and V2+20 when all engines are operating
- KEDW is now available as an airport again.
- Fixed issue with disappearing LOC indication when flying the LOC backcourse
- Fixed issues with Minimum callouts when they did not coincide with Radio altitude callouts
- Fixed issue with inconsistent runway naming between procedures and scenery
- Improved smart copilot synchronization of the MCDUs
- Fixed a bug leading to x-plane freeze when changing runway after a go around (under certain conditions)
- Hydraulic brake accumulator pressure does not change anymore when changing from yellow supply to accumulator supply without changing amount of braking
- Fixed an issue with alternate flight plan loading if alternate plan is in “fms” format.
- Cabin chime queue is fixed so that no chimes are lost anymore.
- Corrected the logic for AC power supply to the system 1 fuel pumps. Direct supply from GEN1 now depends on the GEN 1 LINE switch as it should.
- Corrected vertical guidance for LOWI RNP RWY08 approaches. (You have to make sure to be at flaps 2 when crossing WI750/WI810, the subsequent 3.77deg slope cannot be flown clean without accelerating)
- ILS tracking retuning in LOC and G/S
- BSCU failures now actually do something.
- Limited alternate braking pressure to 1000psi
- Fixes to the VOR cone of confusion model – you do not lose DME or identifier anymore
- Improvements to ILS auto tuning
- Standby DDRMI now uses the same datasource as the VOR/ADF needles on the ND.
- When performing a DIRTO with Radial In or Radial Out, the heading does not resync anymore upon insert, if already in Heading mode
- RNP departures from NZQN RW23 work now as they should.
- Reduced speed trend and vertical FD jitter occuring during high accelerations
- Fine tuned AP altitude tracking and capture
