New beta published (GFD)

[admin]

Hi all,

A new beta has been published for GFD.  It contains the following changes:

- [CDU] Engravity second cdu not working
- [CDU] Selecting other runway after departure selection and executing can cause internal error
- [General] Scale in y direction cannot be set
- [CDU] Takeoff CG and trim setting implementation
- [Standby Instruments] RMI implementation

Also a new manual has been published.   It contains a new section on page 5 about the magnetic variation configuration of GFD.  Please read this section to make sure your CDU is using the correct magnetic variation database.

For the Standby RMI a new offset was added.  This offset can be found in the official offsets document published on the site.

To add the RMI to your configuration please also download the latest version of the GFD Configuration tool.

Thanks. Now we have two St.by. gauges. A full centerpanel that is for me.

One remark. Could you please name the zip-files in /betas downoad by the appropriate version number? Like this one to be called: glassflightdeck1061.zip.

Hello Nax,

I always rename the files when downloading. You can do that yourself, don't you ?
It is not that simple as it seems to do so. Bart should have to reconfigure his compiler / linker to do so.
Anyway thx for the ideas and feedback.

Happy new year and safe flights in 2010.

Yes I rename them to, but thats after they are autorenamed to i.e. glassflightdeck(3).zip.
No big problem, just a thought.

Happy new year Vincent
