TorqueSim and X-Aviation are happy to announce the release of the version 1.0.1 update of the Take Command! CitationJet 525 for X-Plane 12.
We have been thrilled by the enthusiastic response to the aircraft following the release last Friday. This update fixes various reported bugs and adds tweaks based on user feedback. Additionally we added some nice new features that we will highlight here. We continue to work on further updates to add additional features and improvements. Thank you for all of your support!
To Update: Download the aircraft installer here and re-install!
If you don’t have the CitationJet already, you can grab it now at X-Aviation!
New feature: Full X-Plane 12 windshield heat and rain blower integration
The aircraft now is fully tied to the latest X-Plane 12 functionality for thermal blowers for windshield deice, as well as interactions with rain. Check out this video here showing the behavior.
Additional key feature additions include a new nose-steering system, overriding the behavior of the base simulation functionality. This should give a much more representative feel of the steering attributes of the 525.
This update also includes the latest version of the UNS-1 FMS which adds various fixes and adds support for power-failure auto-resume functionality.
