X-Crafts has recently issued a new update to their E-Jets lineup for X-Plane, bringing ILS autotune compatibility improvements, pitch attitude tweaks, and more. They have also announced their biggest Black Friday sale yet, with discounts ranging from 30 to 50%.
Update v1.1.1 focuses on improving what had been implemented in 1.1.0, which added automatic speed management, ILS autotune, steep approach capabilities on compatible aircraft, and next-gen pop-up displays. The changelog follows below:
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
As previously mentioned, they have also announced their biggest Black Friday discounts yet. The E170 will be a record 50% off, and the other E-Jets will get a 30% discount. X-Crafts also plans to add an upgrade discount for users wanting the full lineup.
