OAV ACARS beta changelog | 16SEP16

Post by OAL109 Mike Ionas »

Dear beta testers,

Find below the change log of OAV ACARS beta. Read the changes under testing (blue color) and try to discover possible problems prior to the public release (green color):
  • [New Feature] (v0.2.0.0) Mobile App for IOS & Android providing the option for remote control of the application and the ability for remote checklists following the philosophy of 777.
  • [New Feature] Ability to divert. Still working on the technical aspects, but the concept is to be able to declare a divert airport during a flight and land to it without any problems while filling the PIREP.
  • [Bug Fix] (v0.2.0.0) Change the way ACARS reads the information of an aircraft from the Dispatch Office so that the specific configuration of each company is selected instead of the general configuration. This was mainly a problem for CARGO & EXECUTIVE, where shared types with other companies have different configurations (cargo only for the first one and a small number of VIP passengers for the latter).
  • [New Feature] (v0.2.0.0) Ability to use helicopters.
  • [Bug Fix] (v0.2.0.0) Check the fuel loaded by the pilots (for the companies modeling the financial aspects of a real airline) and present an error message in case it is less than the fuel already stored in the aircraft tanks from the previous flights.
  • [Bug Fix] (v0.2.0.0) Corrected a small bug for the data filed in the db when calculating Starting and End Gross Weight (take off weight and landing weight was used instead of the correct weights
  • [New Feature] (v0.2.0.0) Ability to apply the Parking Brakes via the ACARS. e.g. A pilots lands to the destination airport and FS crashes. Since he/she did not select Parking Brakes On a PIREP cannot be filed and manual submission is necessary.
  • [New Feature] Report recommended departure and arrival gate in the ACARS.
  • [Bug Fix] Map redesign.
  • [Bug Fix] (v0.2.0.0) For Aeroclub flights new parameters were defined for the flight phase transitions as smaller aircraft have different performance characteristics than their bigger brothers. Since there are various types of Aeroclub aircraft the pilot has now the ability to customize some parameters: Airport Radius: 10-100nm, v/s: -300 to -700fpm and landing IAS: 70-120Kts. The first two correspond to the trigger for the transition to the descent phase (triggered when airport radius < selected and v/s > selected) followed by the landing phase (triggered when IAS < selected).
  • [Bug Fix] (v0.2.0.0) When a flight is paused, the paused time is now automatically redacted form the final block time instead of just displaying a message in the PIREP.
  • [Suggestion] (v0.2.0.0) Aircarft characteristics now appear when selecting the booked flight and not when starting it. This gives the ability to the pilot to review the limitations of the aircraft before the flight and correct possible loading errors prior to starting the flight.
  • [Suggestion] (v0.2.0.0) GW is now red when larger than MTOW when the flight is started and an error message is displayed. The same applies during the landing phase if larger than the MLW.
  • [Bug Fix] X-Plane full support.
  • [Suggestion] Όταν κάποιος κλείνει μια πτήση στην Επιμελητεία, η αρχική τιμή pax είναι 0. Αν όταν ξεκινάει η πτήση στο ACARS η τιμή εξακολουθεί να είναι 0, το ACARS υπολογίζει pax και cargo με βάση τον αλγόρυθμο που χρησιμοποιεί και τώρα. Αν ο αριθμός των pax είναι > 0, τότε χρησιμοποιείται αυτός ο αριθμός για τους επιβάτες και υπολογίζεται αυτόματα μόνο το cargo.
  • [Bug Fix] (v0.2.0.1) Fuel weight calculation corrected.
  • [New Feature] (v0.2.0.1) Fuel on Board (FoB) figure from the Dispatch Office is now visible in the main window, so that pilot is aware of aircraft fuel from the previous flight.
  • [Bug Fix] (v0.2.0.1) Username and password are no longer visible in the debug window.
  • [Redundancy] (v0.2.0.1) SQL Server Express 2008 is no longer a prerequisite fo the ACARS and is not checked/downloaded during the installation routine.
  • [Suggestion] Support for consecutive flights without the need to restart ACARS.
  • [Bug Fix] Free flights compatibility.
  • [New Feature] Change the method the report is generated to make the need for Word application redundant.
  • [Redundancy] Redesign the db to make the need for Access db engine redundant.
Legend:
  • [Not Started]
  • [In Progress]
  • [Finished; Beta testing]
  • [Finished; Public Release]

Disregard.

You need Logitech software and logitech ARX on remote device for the remote feature to work.
