Bug fix for MS market feedback on V1.3.4
One Xbox specific bug has been found:
1, - Checklists aren’t appearing on Xbox. Clicking the checklist icon opens only a blank page.
This issue because checklist has xml tags contains error and out of default step blocks.
* I modified checklist to have interactive elements and proper steps, it works on MSFS with Xbox PC App OK.
A few other recommendations for the Xbox version:
2, - A lot of the controls in the cockpit don’t have labels, so it’s difficult to know what each control does if you can’t read Russian.
* I have added all interactive elements, gauges TooltipID and HelpID labels in English, some of labels can readout status.
3, - The engine currently cannot be started when the ‘Engine Auto Start’ control assignment is triggered, the engine start process begins, but it looks like no fuel is added to the engine for light off.
Compatibility with all of the Xbox controller controls was something Microsoft used to ensure was functional in their testing process.
* I have change control logic for engine starting sequence both on ground and in air. Now it has 2 ways for operating, click start button/switch, or using default MSFS controller defines.
As a general bug on PC and Xbox:
4, - The vortices generate on the starboard (right) wing are currently being generated upside down. They need reversed to match the vortices generated on the port (left) wing.
* I have rebuild aircraft exterior model for fix the right vortices node to match left wing vortices node.
All reported issues on V1.3.4 from MS Market Edition has fixed in V1.3.5
But I have no Xbox console to test, just using Xbox app on PC for Xbox version study and test.
So if something still has compatibility issues on Xbox console, it is better to have reference how to study and fix it
