Via Twitter, FlightFactor has announced that they have updated their Boeing 757 and 767 series of aircraft for X-Plane.
The aircraft developer has updated their Boeing fleet with similar improvements which mean both aircraft are now compatible with the Vulkan API changes made by Laminar Research to X-Plane 11.
Although both aircraft have received a similar update to include added VHF radios for use on PilotEdge online network, improved engine ‘air-fuel mixture’ system which can stop the engine if the engine igniter is not turned on in particular scenarios. Numerous fixes such as TAI indication issues, clock displays, and IRS lamp and states logic are also included.
The 757 is now at version 2.4.6 with separate improvements being made with respects to decision height window fixes, various buttons and lamps and the Thomson livery is now included with the base pack.
The 767 has received independent improvements to the flap placard limits for the 767F variant, Visual Tutorial Mode functionality and added cargo compartment temperature displays bringing the aircraft to version 1.3.10.
To receive the free update to either aircraft mentioned, locate the X-Updater file in the aircraft root folder and follow the instructions to install. The developer has explicitly mentioned that this will only work with X-Plane 11, and will break X-Plane 10.
