Developer Supercritical Simulations Group has today released an expansive update for their E-Jets Evolution Series on X-Plane. Version 1.3 brings a wide range of new features including the full compatibility with X-Plane 11.32 and above, new cockpit actuators as well as an improved spoiler and speed break logic.
In addition to those new features, there is also new night lighting, a completely redone automated flight behaviour in APP mode, as well as new TRS pages. Furthermore, there have been a range of fixes including sorting out infinite magenta lines on the ND, improved autoland and also a better computed TOD.
You can get the update for free by redownloading the installer. If you have yet to purchase, you can buy Supercritical Simulation Group’s E-Jets Evolution from the .Org store for $54.95. Price is correct at the time of writing.
