Click to expand...

https://github.com/Working-Title-MSFS-Mods/fspackages/releases/tag/cj4-v0.8.1

KEY FEATURES


  • Added VFR runway approaches - in DEP/ARR you can now choose a VFR runway for landing and specify a runway extension waypoint to be added to the flight plan as far as 25nm from the runway. This allows you to 'roll your own' LNAV/VNAV approach to any runway at any airport. Great for small/private fields! https://streamable.com/idloxs

  • Fixed an issue where sometimes the active waypoint would sequence to the airport and take the plane off course on an RNAV approach.
MCP


  • Fixed an issue where the CRS would not accept input sometimes while not in LNV or NAV mode
PFD


  • Numerous fantastic cosmetic accuracy updates (contribution by TheFlieger)
  • FMS mach value now always shows only two digits

As an aside, you guys saw that Working Title is now officially partnering with the Flight Simulator team, right? They're now all full-time on FS development.


Here's a FAQ on the new relationship.
 
CJ4 v0.11.2 upgrade

More good news.

This update brings some exciting new features like "night" charts (darkened) and storable pilot waypoints, in addition to some important bug fixes.
Click to expand...


https://github.com/Working-Title-MSFS-Mods/fspackages/releases/tag/cj4-v0.11.2


Charts Integration

Charts in the CJ4 are powered by Navigraph - special thanks to the team at Navigraph for their support with API integration. In order to use the charts in the CJ4, you need to have a subscription that includes charts - https://navigraph.com/products/subscriptions. If you have a subscription, all you need to do is select the NAVIGRAPH line in MOD SETTINGS in the FMC and that will launch your web browser and ask you to log in to your Navigraph account - from there an access token will be issued. These tokens do time out from time-to-time, so if you're prompted by the aircraft, or if you ever encounter difficulties loading charts, please go back to this option and resync your account. Details on using the Charts capabilities are in the user guide.
Please note that occasionally the Navigraph token can time out; this especially happens if you do not exit the sim via the main menu. If that happens, please use MOD SETTINGS to refresh your Navigraph token and make a change to your flight plan, such as going DIRECT TO your current active waypoint - this will refresh the chart link.
Changes


  • Implemented charts dark/night mode (activated when panel lights are off or at full [daytime mode] and are otherwise night mode)
  • Added ability to store up to 20 pilot waypoints (IDX->DATABASE)
  • Added ability to type pilot waypoint idents in LEGS, DIR and FPLN pages
  • Fixed Standby Attitude Indicator and Emergency Light Switches
  • Add Emergency Light CAS Message
  • Fix co-pilot audio panel
  • Fixes for TOD problems, including showing a TOD when in an approach and missing when in cruise
  • Fixed VNAV FPTA error that sometimes could cause LNAV to stop responding
  • Added CHECK SPEED message that will show when your speed is >20kts than the current restriction (remember speed constraints are not automatically loaded from nav data and must be manually entered)
  • Further enhancement of terrain colors for the TERR map option; adds curve points above and below aircraft based on aircraft AGL altitude.
  • Cleanup of some small FMC bugs, including missing Working... messages for some screens.
  • Improved duplicate detection methods when importing flight plans (fewer duplicates will flag)
  • Removed 'select waypoint' page being triggered during an import if there are no exact duplicates
  • Refined TOD rounding on MFD in VNAV WINDOW

CJ4 v0.12.0 upgrade

A major upgrade, new web pages, operators, checklist and painter's guides.

http://packages.workingtitle.aero/cj4/2021/04/04/cj4-release-v0.12.0.html


Guides: http://packages.workingtitle.aero/cj4/guides/


Changes

VNAV CLIMB

VNAV Climb should now be working correctly - we know that we’ve warned many people in past versions to turn it off if it isn’t working, but at this point we believe it works as designed. As a refresher, in the CJ4, VNAV in climb is NOT A PATH. It simply provides protection for the pilot to not exceed an AT or AT OR BELOW constraint in the departure procedure. The protection exists ONLY for waypoints that are loaded into the FMC as part of a DEPARTURE PROCEDURE. If you add other waypoints beyond the DP, those constraints will not be respected as climb constraints.
AUTOPILOT/MODES


  • Enabled APPR mode for ILS when tuned in PFD even when an approach is not loaded in the FMC.
  • Added custom vertical autopilot to manage altitude capture and hold modes. (note: the ALT button is now tied to H:WT_CJ4_AP_ALT_PRESSED and the emissive lvar is L:WT_CJ4_ALT_HOLD)
  • Added altitude capture for PTCH mode.
  • Added altitude capture for TO/GA modes.
  • Enabled ability to arm LNAV on the ground and set activation at 400’ AGL.
  • Fixed bug with not being able to turn off the Flight Director when FMA modes are annunciated - the FD button will now disable all modes when being turned off, as long as the AP is not on.
  • Fixed bug that prevented VNAV button press from being read when APPR mode was active - now it is only force disabled when GP/GS have been captured and those are the active vertical modes.
PFD


  • Added PITCH REF value to the FMA when in PTCH mode.
  • PFD Baro preset bug fixed where improper units would sometimes display with the baro preset window open.
  • Fixed bugs with selected altitude < 0 or > 45,000; these values will not display AND the simvar values will not exceed those limits (you can’t get stuck below 0 anymore).
  • Removed inaccurate feature of resetting the FMA modes upon landing - they will now remain in the last selected modes until the FD is turned off.
MFD


  • Improved map/terrain mask (thanks Slip!).
  • Improved ROSE/ARC display to better reflect the real aircraft.
  • Improved min wind vector/speed display.
  • Fixed bug where DES waypoint would appear even after it had been passed sometimes on the map.
  • Improved gps track bug on MFD/PFD and enable during ground ops.
  • Added ability for FMS Text VNAV window to display climb data even when no descent/arrival is picked, and also to show arrival/TOD data after climb constraints have passed.
  • Fixed the Range Banana (altitude intercept arc) on the PFD/MFD to only display the point where the SELECTED altitude will be intercepted, not the VNAV altitude.
FMC


  • Added runway slope calculations to Takeoff and Landing Ref pages - you can now enter a slope and the relevant TOFL/LFL number will adjust accordingly.
  • Added landing factor distance selection on Approach Ref page - you can now select the landing factor.
  • Added ability to enter custom/new pax weight on PERF INIT page using format “/XXX” or “5/XXX” and the pax weight value is persistent.
  • Added ability to enter Gross Weight on PERF INIT page to override ZFW and/or Pax/Cargo inputs.
  • Fixed bug where the final approach fix calculation in LNAV sometimes chose the missed approach waypoint as the FAF.
  • Fixed bug that sometimes caused the departure runway to be undefined (black FMC screen) after flight plan import.
  • Adjusted DIRTO and Vertical Direct page and capabilities to fix bug not allowing a second vertical direct, not allowing a vertical direct to a current direct to waypoint.
  • Added ability to select any vertical waypoint with a constraint for a direct to; when constraints are A/B or A/ the altitude targeted will be the ABOVE value.
  • Fixed bug causing VREF/VAPP display error in FMC in certain circumstances.
  • Removed departure runway altitude from flight plan and LEGS page.
VNAV


  • Fixed bug that would prevent a climb in cases where there is no SID, but a STAR exists and has constraints.
  • Adjusted VNAV FMS Text window to display descent data as soon as the last departure constraint is passed, instead of waiting until the departure procedure has been completely flown.
  • Fixed bug with missing some A/B or A/ constraints in the first descent segment in some rare cases.
  • Changed behavior of path smoothing to cause the first descent segment to always be at the requested VPA in the VNAV DESCENT setup page.
  • Fixed bug with VNAV calculations after a DIR TO.
  • Adjusted behavior after FPLN change is made that adjusts the PATH; if the new PATH causes an out-of-activation range problem, AP mode changes to PTCH.
  • Fixed bug where after PATH arms in an ABOVE PATH intercept situation, PATH won’t disarm even if you deviate from intercept parameters.
  • Extensive debugging and fixing of obscure/non-normal cases.
FLIGHT MODEL


  • Adjusted idle thrust.
  • Adjusted 75% thrust error in thrust table.
MODEL


  • Adjusted behavior of the panel light knob to replicate the function of the knob in the real aircraft - full on is DAY setting, and this is the ONLY setting to get daytime charts.

Changes


  • Fixed bugs with parsing TUN page inputs.
  • Minor cleanup on DSPL MENU FMC page.
  • Fixed bugs with leg altitude (constraint) parsing to address some incorrect constraints in some European approaches.
  • Fix for erroneous sim autopilot altitude capture when using a hardware button tied to all the altitude slots and not just slot 1.
  • Fix for some erroneous situations where VNAV PATH kicks you to PTCH incorrectly.
  • Fix for sequencing missed approach on Go-Around after a new approach is selected.
