What’s New
Below you’ll find the release notes for v1.1.0 as well as the highlights from the previous huge release v1.1.0. You can find all release notes here.
IMPROVEMENTS:
DIRECT will now work for both AMBER (LSK1) and MAGENTA (LSK2) rows on the FLT PLAN page:
AMBER DIRECT: Creates a new DIRECT waypoint when the new destination waypoint is inserted at the aircraft present position. Aircraft will intercept course from PPOS insertion to the new destination waypoint.
MAGENTA DIRECT: Does not create a PPOS waypoint. Intercepts a course from last waypoint to the new destination waypoint.
The pitch attitude on the final approach in X-Plane 11 increased to be positive.
Below 200ft RA, the RA altitude on the PFD shows every 5ft instead of 10ft. This makes landing the E-Jets even easier as you can better anticipate the touchdown!
Added another click spot for scrolling through the flight plan to the PLAN page around "Waypoint centered" in the middle of the page.
Added GS INHIB button
Used to manually cancel glideslope alerts
Illuminates when pressed any time below 2000ft nominal radar altitude and will be automatically reset (light off) by climbing above 2000ft nominal or descending below 30ft
FIXES:
ILS autotune compatibility improved (Some users couldn't get it to run in v1.1.0)
PLI will no longer show up if you're on the final approach unless your pitch attitude is more than 5°
Disabled door manipulators in flight
Introduced in v1.1.0
Automatic Speed Management
Our E-Jets Family v1.1.0 makes flying easier with its new FMS Speed feature, automating speed management throughout your flight. With this level of automation, all you need to focus on is retracting the flaps after takeoff and deploying them before landing, letting you experience the simplicity that real pilots love about flying the E-Jets.
NEW
Effortless Approaches
ILS Autotune is a game-changing feature that simplifies ILS approaches. It automatically tunes the correct NAV frequency and transitions from LNAV&VNAV to LOC&GS, ensuring a smooth approach with minimal manual intervention. Just like in the real plane, you now only need one press of a button to set up the whole approach.
NEW
Steep Approach
With the Steep Approach system now implemented on the E170 and E190*, you can experience the thrill of steep approaches like the one into London City Airport, which brings you down to the very short runway at double the usual glide slope angle at 5.5°!
Are you up for the challenge?
*The E175 and E195 are not certified for steep approach
NEW
Next-Gen Pop-Up Displays
Easily pop up, move, and resize screens like the PFD or FMS for a clearer, more accessible view. Enjoy sharp details and a streamlined cockpit experience with customizable screen placement that remembers your settings for your next flight.
