The developer X-Crafts has updated their E-Jets series for X-Plane 12 and 11 to a new version, bringing improvements to the previous 1.1.0 update that changed a lot of aircraft’s behaviour.
1.1.1. Is All About Improvements
The X-Crafts team has updated the aircraft to improve the new functionalities. This includes DIRECT functionality, which will now work on both the Magenta and Amber flight plan rows.
The Amber direct creates a new direct waypoint upon inserting a new waypoint from the aircraft’s present position. The Magenta direct, on the other hand, intercepts a course from the last waypoint to the newly selected one.
The pitch attitude on approach has been increased in X-Plane 11 to resemble the real-world behaviour of the aircraft series. The pitch will now be positive.
The PFD will now show the radio altitude every five feet below 200 RA instead of the previous 10. According to X-Crafts, this should make landing predictions much easier for the pilots.
Another clickspot has been added for scrolling through the flight plan to the PLAN page, this is located around WAYPOINT CENTERED, in the middle of the page.
The developer also added the G/S INHIB button, which manually cancels out glideslope alerts and is illuminated when pressed any time below 2000 feet radar altitude, it will be automatically reset upon climbing above 2000 feet radar altitude or descending below 30 feet.
Small Portion of Fixes
The X-Crafts team also improved the ILS autotune compatibility, the PLI will no longer show up on the final approach unless your aircraft stays at a pitch attitude of more than 5 degrees.
The door manipulation option has been disabled in flight.
To update your aircraft, you have to download it either again through the store you purchased it from, or via SkunkCrafts updater, either as a standalone application or an in-game plugin. You can read more about updating the aircraft here.
