=================
NEW FEATURES:
1. Major EFB overhaul
* The EFB has received a major functional and visual overhaul.
* The external Flysimware binding software has now been integrated directly into the EFB.
* Hardware bindings can now be configured directly from the new Settings page without requiring the separate external application.
2. New Settings page
* Added unit selection.
* Added Show Passengers override.
* Added Show Copilot override.
* Added Payload Sync control.
* Show Passengers and Show Copilot allow passenger and copilot weights to remain loaded while independently hiding their 3D character models.
* When Payload Sync is enabled, the EFB controls and maintains the aircraft payload station weights.
* When Payload Sync is disabled, payload weights can be entered manually through the simulator Weight & Balance system or controlled by compatible third-party career / flight-management software.
3. New adjustable payload system
* Added adjustable payload sliders for passengers, avionics, baggage, wing lockers, and rear cargo.
* Payload weights are no longer limited to fixed default values.
* Added left and right wing locker payload controls.
* Added improved rear cargo payload control.
4. New Quick Load system
* Added Quick Load presets for fast payload configuration.
* Medium and Heavy presets allow the aircraft to be loaded instantly without manually configuring every individual payload position.
5. New Tank Timer and cabin temperature display
* Added a Tank Timer display.
* The Tank Timer also displays the current cabin temperature.
* The C414A does not require routine left/right tank switching, so the timer can simply be left disabled.
UPDATES:
1. Payload page redesign
* Completely redesigned the Payload page with a cleaner layout and improved weight displays.
* Added individual payload controls and expanded payload configuration options.
* Updated payload limits and available payload ranges to better reflect the aircraft compartment limitations.
2. Improved payload station handling
* Improved synchronization between the EFB and the simulator Weight & Balance system.
* Added support for externally controlled payload weights when Payload Sync is disabled.
* Improved passenger visibility logic so passenger selection, passenger weight, and 3D character visibility can operate independently.
3. EFB cosmetic improvements
* Updated and cosmetically improved the other EFB pages for a more consistent and modern appearance.
4. New TruSim cabin climate logic
* Cabin temperature now responds dynamically to outside ambient temperature.
* Opening doors and windows allows outside air temperature to affect the cabin.
* The amount of temperature change is influenced by how far the doors and windows are opened.
* Even with the aircraft fully closed, outside temperature will now slowly influence cabin temperature through the aircraft structure and insulation.
5. Improved fuel-fired cabin heater logic
* The heater now works with the selected thermostat temperature and automatically cycles as needed to maintain cabin temperature.
* Once the selected temperature is reached, the heater will shut off.
* If cabin temperature falls approximately 3 degrees below the selected temperature, the heater will automatically begin heating again.
6. New climate and pressurization instructions
* Added new instructional images to the Additional Information folder.
* The new instructions cover the climate-control and pressurization systems.
* They explain how the air conditioning, fuel-fired heater, engine heat exchangers, cabin air controls, and related pressurization controls work together.
* The instructions are intended to help users choose the most appropriate heating or cooling method for current conditions while understanding which pressurization controls also affect cabin airflow and temperature management.
