Quick summary· AI-generated
The update addresses numerous systems bugs spanning navigation displays, flight management systems, autopilot behavior, checklist functions, and aerodynamic handling. Performance improvements include reduced texture sizes, draw calls, mesh vertices, and node counts. The detailed changelog covers fixes to engine start sequences, flight-path leg calculations, altitude constraints, runway recognition in custom sceneries, and TCAS traffic display accuracy, among many others.
Excerpt from Threshold
Synaptic Simulations has just released an update for their A220 aircraft in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and 2024. This update upgrades the aircraft to version 1.0.4 and introduces a variety of fixes related to the systems, artwork, EFB, and flight model, which significantly enhance the overall experience. Notable improvements include a reduction in display texture size, cabin draw calls, mesh vertices, and model node count, all contributing to better performance.
The update includes a detailed changelog, which is outlined below:
v1.0.4
Systems
Fixed – General pass over the ND and EICAS to make improvements to performance
Fixed – Slightly adjust FMS cross-track gains when en-route and on approach 1
Fixed – Starting engines with throttles set to max causes crazy N1/N2/EGT values
Fixed – APU start sequence broken when door opens before start request is commanded
Fixed – Ailerons droop the wrong way in windy conditions
Fixed – CI legs with no course change draw loop on the map
Fixed – CI legs find intercepts on the other side of the world
Fixed – VA legs incorrectly treated as vectored when computing discontinuities
Fixed – VM legs incorrectly treated as unvectored when computing discontinuities
Fixed – IF legs not replaced with TF legs when clearing discontinuities 2
Fixed – Top-of-descent marker pinned to aircraft’s present position
Fixed – Turn arcs and intercept arrows are not always drawn correctly on the map
Fixed – PFD displaying date one day ahead
Fixed – PFD vertical and lateral deviation preview pointers using wrong icon for FMS source
Fixed – Map OVLY task menu should time out after 2 seconds
Fixed – Altitudes swapped when entering between altitude constraints into FMS
Fixed – Missing runways in custom sceneries that would use “Macadam” or “Undefined” as surface types
Fixed – FLAPS HANDLE INDEX variable not set to current detent 3
Fixed – AUTOPILOT ALTITUDE LOCK VAR variable not set to current preselector altitude
Fixed – Checklist RESET ALL function should only be selectable from index pages
Fixed – Checklist INLET_OFF variable state flipped
Fixed – VHF frequencies rounding down when set externally or when switching channel spacing
Fixed – OFF indication missing on avionics cooling inlet switch
Fixed – Incorrect relative altitude shown for TCAS traffic
Fixed – Procedure identifiers on FMS PLAN INIT page not cleared when corresponding segment is deleted
Fixed – Several incorrect indications on the AIRCRAFT…
