X-Plane 9.20 beta-6 released

by mark.avey on July 15, 2008

X-Plane 9.2 has reached beta 6. I normally don’t report on too many of the beta’s, as there are just so many of them, but for this batch of releases, there’s a lot of additional functionality being added to the sim, so I’m making an exception.

Included in this release:

Can view acf in wireframe and nite mode in plane-maker
No more nosewheel steering too far just because of high hydraulic pressure
No more erroneous chaff and flare deployments
Panel-editor in plane-maker ok for huge application res and huge plane panel res
Lo voltage warning comes on when the bus voltage is below the GREEN LOW-END VOLTAGE OF THE GENERATOR, as defined in plane-maker limits screen
The electrical system (including annunciators) will function when above the REDLINE LO-END BATTERY VOLTAGE, as defined in the same page alpha and beta for flight-control systems properly determined, for proper artificial-stability and autopilot functionality and yaw-string display
Speedbrake annunciator works, even if your plane has only body-mounted, not wing-mounted, speedbrakes
Replays now show time in hundredths of a second… needed to test races at reno.
Master caution and master arming not going off over little things any more like flaps or slats or afterburners being in use.
Manifold pressure model fixed: was indicating higher pressures before in some cases
Joysticks should always be read in the same order, so the axis you assign to not have to be changed from one startup of your computer to another
Speedbrake drag fixed
P180 panel won’t be off-screen in panel editor
Panel editor won’t crash while typing
