  • Level-D SP2 Released

    After a lot of testing and tweaking we've finally released SP2 for the Level-D 767-300.

    Please run the Configuration Manager AFTER you install SP2.

    Service Pack 2 Release Notes:

    ========================
    **** NEW FEATURES ****

    - L/R engine indication variations.
    - pause at TOD option (in "Instructor" dialog box).
    - RDMI OFF flags.
    - R ADF receiver added (see also R ADF ident button).
    - keyboard shortcuts for lights and RMI switches.
    - Aerosoft's EFIS boxes compatibility (updated mcp747.exe provided).


    ========================
    **** ENHANCEMENTS ****
    ========================

    AFDS:
    ----
    - better speed control during FLCH/VNAV cruise level change.
    - updated LOC capture code.
    - reselecting ALT HOLD button refreshes the target altitude.

    EHSI:
    ----
    - route drawing code improved.
    - new route drawing symbols added.
    - auto switch to TRUE heading when near poles.

    ENGINES:
    -------
    - the spoolup before start sequence has been improved.
    - EGT peaks during start, more accurate idle EGT.
    - engine bleed air pressure is now biphasic (HP/IP valves).

    VISUAL MODEL:
    ------------
    - much improved gauge smoothness in standard resolution VC.
    - new 3D RMI knobs,MAG/TRUE hdg switch, F/D and A/T switches.
    - updated warning lights on the overhead for better aspect at different resolutions.

    MISCELLANEOUS:
    -------------
    - enhanced SDK (see LVLDSDKDemo.exe for demo).
    - GPWS/TCAS Sounds integrated with Level-D controls and
    customizable: see "How to customize GPWS aurals.txt"
    in "Level-D Simulations\B767-300\Sounds\".


    =================
    **** FIXES ****
    =================

    AFDS:
    ----
    - FD pitch bar moves smoothly to 8° when FD turned on.
    - GA F/D Mode engages even when AFDS is OFF.
    - ASA indications during IRUs alignment.
    - ASA now takes ±5 seconds to update to a new status.

    EHSI:
    ----
    - sideslip accounted for in TRACK map alignment.
    - EHSI/FMC sometimes displayed ETA as x hours 60 minutes (ie. 0160z).
    - plan view runway symbols are correctly aligned with flightpath display.
    - wrong heading was displayed in map & plan modes when in IRS ATT mode.

    EICAS:
    -----
    - standby engine gauges will display during complete EICAS failure.
    - fixed lighting problem with secondary engine display gauge.
    - control surface indicators show droop.
    - caution & warning aurals/lights inhibited during Take-off.
    - no more "cargo overheat" messages.
    - "AUTOTHROT DISC" message is no longer indented.
    - "PROBE HEAT" message logic.

    FMC:
    ---
    - "UNABLE NEXT ALT" message.
    - left VOR ID would not appear on NAVRAD page if right VOR was not tuned.
    - NAVRAD page remote tuning function was not filtering out NDBs in database.
    - vectors waypoints no longer cause incorrect distance predictions.
    - FMC NAVRAD page now looks as it should. ILS autotune will still
    function if you have the option set.

    AUTOBRAKES:
    ----------
    - no more "autobrake" light/message if right hydraulic pressure low.
    - low hydraulic pressure will disarm A/B only in landing modes, not in RTO.
    - A/B switch remains in the RTO position when the RTO braking stops during pedal braking.

    SYSTEMS:
    -------
    - correct power source for F/O Altimeter and ASI.
    - ADP will work with only one engine providing bleed air.
    - pack logic during loss of electrical power.
    - left duct pressure indicator powered by Left Main bus.
    - right duct pressure indicator powered by Left & Right Main bus.
    - the IRU on DC horn now starts after one minute delay.
    - 1 second delay after pressing the fire test button.
    - HYD QTY indications independent of time settings.
    - equip cooling switch, RMI switches and MAG/TRUE switch correctly saved with panel data.
    - BAT DISCH light logic (STBY power switch in BAT position).

    ENGINES & FUEL:
    --------------
    - starting both engines at the same time is no longer possible.
    - crossbleed start need ±70% N2.
    - bleed & bleed ISLN valves remain in last position if not powered.
    - Left fwd fuel pump PRESS light after landing with APU ON.

    MISCELLANEOUS:
    -------------
    - printing of keyboard shortcuts & quick tips now possible on network printer.
    - Shift-K now works (FMC KA Mode activation).
    - various fixes to clocks.
    - some dialogs were not heard at second or successive pushbacks

    SOUNDS:
    ------
    - an issue after FS video replay and some pause/unpause commands.
    - click in an FS add-on dialog box (as SquawkBox).
    - pressing "Q" doesn't affect the gauge sounds anymore in slew mode.
    - Dave's "Stand by One" message volume increased.
    - Ian's "Stand by One" message added.

    GPWS/TCAS:
    ---------
    - Lee Hetherington's updated TCAS2v7.dll, removed code that could cause FS to terminate abnormally.
    - warning panel CONFIG, PULLUP and GS lights no longer stick on at touch down.
    - G/S INHIBIT only inhibits glideslope warning.
    - glideslope warning adjusted to reduce unnecessary warnings at low alts.
    - DH resets to 200 after cold & dark cockpit.

    RADIOS:
    ------
    - the ADF needles will always point correctly to ADF station relative to nose when tuned.
    - the VOR needles will point incorrectly if wrong MAG heading is entered when in ATT mode
    (the heading card will be incorrect).
    - when signal or heading ref is lost VOR needles will freeze in place.
    - when signal is lost ADF needles will freeze in place.

    VIRTUAL F/O - CABIN ANNOUNCEMENTS:
    ---------------------------------
    - there is now a minimal delay of 15 sec between two flaps commands.
    - descent announcements were sometimes triggered by weather turbulences.
    - "We are starting our descent" address tied to TOD (if an FMC route exists).
    - "Seat for departures" announcement no more heard just after unpausing the sim.

    VISUAL MODEL:
    ------------
    - Fixed missing polygon in VC.
