TorqueSim and X-Aviation are happy to announce the release of the version 1.0.2 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 earlier this month and the version 1.0.1 update last week. This update fixes some additional reported bugs and adds tweaks based on user feedback. Additionally we added a key new feature for aiding in flight planning. 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: Takeoff and Landing Performance Calculators!
By popular request, we now have performance calculators available for takeoff and landing in the aircraft.
The takeoff performance calculator uses the current temperature, altitude, and weight, as well as an option for selecting the takeoff flap position via the interface. From that information, V1, VR, V2, and Takeoff roll (with various headwind components) will be provided, based on the tabulated performance on a worst-case basis (altitudes/temperatures/weights are rounded up to the next tabulated data set). Takeoff target N1% is also provided, this is using linear interpolation based on the inputs.
For landing, it uses your current weight to determine the Vref speed (flaps full are always assumed for standard landings).
For non-normal procedures, and for anti-ice on procedures, be sure to check for offset factors for both takeoff and landing data.
