People who are flying the SSG E-170 and E-195 will be welcomed with a new update that brings more functionality to the plane and better compatibility with the latest version of X-Plane 11. The update was announced, although somewhat late, on the .org forum.
The update primarily addresses compatibility with X-Plane v11.32+ and is completely under the hood, so no visual changes. The update includes several other additions and bug fixes to the system simulation.
Version 1.3 (March 29th 2019)
- Updated to be 100% compatible with XP 11.32 or later
- New cockpit actuators, uses dragging method for better control in VR

- Speedbrake logic, messages and commands improved
- Spoiler issue on landing fixed
- Ground proximity and flap override switches
