Please select "Activate Online" and use the new Online Activation key that you've recently received. Your Server will need to be online for the activation. Once activated it can be taken offline if required. If you do not have an online activation key and only have the key linked to the Computer ID, please email support@sim-avionics.com to receive one. It is still possible to use your original activation key by selecting the "Activate Static" Button. However I would highly recommend using the online activation method as you will no longer need to wait for a new key if you change your Server computer. Simply "Deactivate" the license and then Re-Activate on the new computer. # Initial 737Max Release SERVER # 737MAX Demo has been added # 737Max LEAP Engine Start Modelled. Including: BRM mode to reduce EGT temp before start, Increased start times, Starter cutout at 62%, second EGT peak after starter cutout, # Taxi Assist - Added to reduce ground friction in P3Dv4 since the DynamicFriction LUA script is no longer operational in P3Dv4. 0 = OFF higher values will cause a reduction in friction to a point where the aircraft will start to accelerate at IDLE Taxi Assist progressivly engages > 3kts and < 30kts # Trim Speed Defaults to 300 after A/P Recall # TOPCAT Perf Data retrieved in separate thread # Rudder Trim resets to 0 when entering the centre null zone # Renamed Aircraft Options 1 and 2 to Avionics Options and Aircraft Options, with the options rearranged to make more room for additional options. # Added DEFAULT_ROUTES_FOLDER= to SERVER.INI For ACARS Uplinks from a SimBrief file the Server requires access to the .sbr file in the \Routes folder. This allows you to specify a remote Routes folder location. # Removed - Auto VNAV arm during G/A. Only Auto LNAV Arm is a realistic option. # Fixed : Option not saving when Server closes: AUTOSTART Engines Using TQ Fuel Ctrl # HYD Resevour qty varies based on Flaps, Gear and Spoiler configuration. # 737 ELEC HYD Pump output modelled. Moving Flight Controls with a single ELEC Pump will cause a LOW PRESS indication. # DH RST - reset when FSUIPC value changes. Affects FSUIPC Controlled EFIS Only (Not FDS/CPFlight EFIS) # FMC Reset option changed to include both engines shutdown. With the FMC reset option selected it will reset < 10kts with both engines shutdown. # Manual Braking only triggered when GS > 10 kts. # INITIAL_STATE_ON_POWERUP.ini added (for anyone experiencing switch position detection on startup) INITIAL_STATE.ini options are applied when the Server Loads, but these can be overridden by the SYSBoard Controller when it starts and detects the initial position of the switches. INITIAL_STATE_ON_POWERUP.ini options are applied when DC Power is established.. usually on the Battery Switch. This can be useful if you need to reset certain switches after a power up. ie 3 position switchs sometimes don't sequence properly on initial start : FLT_CONTROLS_A=1 FLT_CONTROLS_B=1 SPOILERS_A=1 SPOILERS_B=1 A Delay can also be added to this operation [OPTIONS] DELAY=3 : In Secs # Demo Mode area changed to Heathrow and time increased to 30 mins # Added Online AP Recall button. Retrieves AP Defaults from Webserver # Corrected over sensitive Yaw Damper New Values in the FSX-Sim-Avionics-B737.CFG should be : AUTO_RUDDER_SENSITIVITY_REDUCTION=4 RUDDER_DAMPER=200 TAC_SENSITIVITY_REDUCTION=-8 Recalling AP Settings will correct these values # Changing the CRZ Altitude on the VNAV page doesn't cause a sudden pressurization schedule change. # Changing the CRZ Altitude on the VNAV triggers a CRZ Descent if the MCP altitude has been reset to a lower altitude. (Same as pressing ALT INTV) CDU # DES NOW - Now requires Execute # Added CG% Update from PAYLOAD page # ADF Freq Display format corrected # Added direct Payload update to PAYLOAD menu # Fixed : LEGS Wpt sometimes being removed when moving a waypoint to with one of the same name. # Small Adustments to Fuel and ETA calc # Corrected TRIP Altitude prediction to not allow greater than Ceiling Altitude. # Corrected Fuel Flow conversion to LB's in prediced Fuel calculation # RTE DATA added > to end of WPT line # RTE DATA Winds read from FS if no SimBrief plan is available. (note : not as accurate) # Fix to LAT/LONG calc whilst loading .pln files AVIONICS # ENG FF permanently displayed for 737MAX # HDG MAG/TRU corrections # Fixed EICAS on ND not showing live values # Corrected Mag var issue on VOR Centre mode display # Re-worked Terrain Radar SYSBOARD CONTROLLER # Fixes for Ethernet Radios # Light Test works with Ethernet Radios # Ethernet Radio Values refreshed after exiting Light Test Mode # Fixed the Flight Illusion R Flap Needle # Switch positions rescanned when Server connects # Added 737Max Aircraft Type radiobutton selection and specific assignments # Due to a change in the FDS EFIS hardware, the MINS and BARO knobs now have a direct link to the encoders. This means the default direct has changed. For those with FDS EFIS panel older than 6 months you may find the MINS and BARO encoders are reversed. The solution is to close the SYSBoard Controller, Edit the CONFIG.INI and change the entries for : // Reverse Rotary Encoder Directions CPT_MINS_DIRECTION_REVERSE=1 <- Set =1 CPT_BARO_DIRECTION_REVERSE=1 <- Set =1 FO_MINS_DIRECTION_REVERSE=1 <- Set =1 FO_BARO_DIRECTION_REVERSE=1 <- Set =1 # Fixed a lockup with the FDS Ethernet Radios (Introduced around v1.80-1.81) # Fix to Plugin system and Exception error on shutdown # Added FI Gauges 'Speed' slider. This adjusts the internal timer in the gauge to produce a slower/smoother response. # Plugin system added... (additional plugins will be developed) FI Gauges tab changed to Gauge Assignments Gauge outputs can be sent to FI or any plugin gauges. Therefore each gauge needs to be individually assigned to Flight Illusion. Please note : The master "Enable Flight Illusion" checkbox must still be enabled for an FI connection. Phidgets.dll is currently available. This allows the 8/8/8 card inputs/outputs and analogues to be assigned to functions. Also Phidgets Servos can be assiged to Gauge outputs. (Motor Control Card (Motor Control Tab) will shortly be added for motorized throttle output) # Added FI Gauge Dimmer scrollbar to set max brightness # Add option and set =1 to prevent the 737 MCP Speed and Altitude knob from activating Interveen [SETTINGS] BLOCK_MCP_INTV=0 UPDATER # Fixed EICAS typo during file copy #---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Version : 1.80 # Date : 21/12/2017 # Released Version #---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Summary from 1.70 to 1.80 |---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GENERAL CHANGES |---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Improved Stability and Nav Data Validations # Improved LNAV and VNAV handling # Improved A/P Stability # SimBrief FlightPlan Integration - Including Route, Perf, Winds and Des Forecast Uplinks.

(CLR is not required) CLR is used as a backspace whilst entering a new code, incase a typing mistake is made. Once the 4th digit is entered, if you have made a mistake you have up to 3 seconds in which to cancel it - by pressing the CLR key. The code will then revert back to the last confirmed code. Once the 4th digit is entered, after 3 seconds the new code will flash once confirming that it has been accepted. TCAS TEST As there is no 'Test' button on the FDS XPNDR, some logic has been added that a test is performed when the XPNDR switch is moved from STBY to AUTO (or ON). You will see "TCAS TEST" on the ND and some test traffic displayed. After the test you will here "TCAS Test Passed". If you perform the test without establishing AC power, you will see "TCAS TEST" on the ND, No Traffic. After the test you will here "TCAS Test Failed". To clear the failure you should establish AC power and repleat the test. #---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Version : 1.60m # Date : 12/08/2016 #---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SERVER # Window Heat Power Test - now only works when Window Heat Switches are ON OVERHEAD # Removed Large Black Circle from IRS panel SYSBoard Controller # Fixed some XPNDR mode problems caused be the new Ethernet Radio Logic CDU # Track & Bearing calcs modified to prevent some calculation errors. #---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Version : 1.60l # Date : 07/08/2016 #---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AVIONICS # Added to CONFIG.INI : 737_FLAP_GAUGE_DISPLAY_BEZEL=1 CDU # Loading Routes The first waypoint is not loaded - IF the first waypoint is the Origin Airport.

The change will be invisible to the pilot, but it allows for a more accurate 'target thrust' position indication on the N1 gauges. Please note for this to work the Server needs to receive the target throttle position and it will set the thrust accordingly. You do this by assigning your throttle axis within FSUIPC axis assignments, from the FSUIPC menu within FS. (This is the way the majority of simulators are configured anyway). Alternatively if you are using an external system (like SIOC) to control your throttles, you will need to remove the direct write to the FS throttle position - offsets 088C and 0924. These should be changed to 52FA and 52FC. This directs the target throttle position to the Server EEC's instead of directly to the FS throttle levers. To enable 52FA and 52FC you will also need to enable the checkbox on the Server > Flight Controls tab > Use Ext Controlled Throttle. # 777 FlyBy Wire implementation.

ACARS provides online position reporting and online maps, Cockpit to Cockpit Telex messaging and CPDLC messaging for ATC clearances There are many potential uses in the sim world such as, obtaining ATC clearances during busy traffic periods and comms with Virtual Airline Dispatchers. And the benifit is that t's all built into the Avionics. More information can be obtain from Jereon's site - www.hoppie.nl We will also be posting a tutorial on ACARS operation.
