Just in time for the Black Friday sale, announced on their forum, ToLiss has updated their popular Airbus A319 add-on aircraft to version 1.2.
This update introduces many new and improved features which owners of the ToLiss have been longing for including as an ice-detection system, XP11 style windows for pop-up displays and a custom ground effect model to make landing flare more realistic. There are also many bug fixes in this update. You can view the full set of changelogs at the end of this article.
If you don’t already own the ToLiss A319, you can grab a hold of it now on the X-Plane.org store for a discounted price of $49.00 (Incl. VAT). You’ll have to be quick though as this is a Black Friday offer and it won’t last long.
Changes from build 939 (V1.1.1) to build 971 (V1.2) Major new features: - XP11 style windows for the popup displays - you can move your MCDU or your popup to another screen now. - ECAM rework: Automatic call of system and status pages and EWD overflow logic. - Implementation of the majority of ECAM status messages. - You can switch PFD, ND and ECAM around like in the real aircraft. (3D cockpit ONLY) - Added display units as failure modes to the Fault injection screen - Custom ground effect model to make landing flare more realistic. (You will have to retune your flare technique!) Minor new features: - Added option to synchronize baro settings between Captain, Copilot and ISI - APU now runs for another 120s after switches it off to cool down as in real life. (Generator and bleed not available during this time.) - Warnings for DOORS open is triggered now if you forget to close them before takeoff. - New battery model allowing proper charge/discharge procedure and allowing APU start in air off batteries. - The different engine types now also have the appropriate individual oil pressure, EGT and fuel injection time during startup. (Besides N1, N2, Fuel consumption and thrust which were already different in previous versions.) - Addition of non-linear stick-to-command mapping for the FBW control laws to approach the real life implementation even closer. - Ice detection system to warn you of the impending performance degradation if you don't switch on Anti Ice. - Some visual tweaks from Matthew on wings, engine blades, windows and strobe lights plus the addition of a SatCom Antenna. (Thanks!) Bug fixes: - Fixed the QNH reset to zero when popping up the ISI - Fixed the spurious MCDU resets during power transients. - Fixed issue that rotating the BARO knob in mode STD had an effect on the altimeter. - Added Probe and window heating to the electrical bus loads - Fixed possibility to start APU of batteries when in mid-air. - Fixed saving of the XPDR compatibility preference setting. - CVR ground control switches off now when starting the engines or being off ground. - PACK 1(2) OFF ECAM messages now have a 60-second delay to allow the pilot to switch them off after thrust reduction. - Returning of the volume levels between TRU and air conditioning in the cockpit. - Fixed the bug that SIDs are not available if the runway designator in the apt.dat file and the procedure file are off by 1. - Fixed the import of altitude constraints that are stored in the CIFP file in the format FLxxx instead of altitude in feet. - Improved pitch trim wheel mapping between animation and actual stab position.
