The below log shows all updates for this product since release:
v2.0a
New Features:
- New throttle cutoff sounds.
- New installer for P3D v5.
- Updated GPS management tool for P3D v5.
Bugs & updates:
- Improved the annunicator lights performance for those who had issues in P3D. This helped most of the few users having issues. We are still not sure why only a handful of users still have issues. We think it just may be their PC and sim software.
v1.9F/G
New Features:
- New realistic startup attitude animation.
- N1, N2 and ITT gauges will now show a slight offset value for realism.
- The landing light housing cone now has light effects.
Bugs & updates:
- We updated the flight dynamics. N1 and fuel consumption rates at high altitude are more accurate.
- Window shades are darker for FSX and P3D.
- GPU, APU and Fuel truck sounds now have different sound levels based on interior and exterior views.
v1.9D/E
New Features:
- Backup attitude indicator now runs on a backup battery and will last about 45 minutes.
Bugs & updates:
- The Hangar popup panel "Recognition LTS" label updated to "Shield LTS" label. Fixed.

v1.9B/C
New Features:
- Taxi light now turns on when the gear is only down.
- Around 75 major switches and parking modes state can be saved so when you load a saved flight. So no need to click all systems off. Leave the cockpit exactly how you want it the next time you want to do a flight.
Bugs & updates:
- Version 1.9 - 1.9B had a glideslope capture issue when you click NAV then APP. Fixed.
- RXP GTN 750 panel option now has the GPS to VOR unlocked. This feature will make the sperry DME show the VOR info rather than the waypoint info in GPS mode when this setting off. The HSI DME already will show the waypoint distance/info when in GPS mode. So leave this option off so you can use the Sperry for a VOR.
