http://www.patches-scrolls.de/wings_of_silver_bf377.phphttp://www.gamershell.com/download_35628.shtmlCHANGES included in SERVICE PACK 1:
Core Aircraft Changes:
ü Early BOAC model
ü Highly realistic textures with the latest A2A texturing techniques
NOTE: Without the Accu-Sim add-on the user will see the reports but they will have no effect on the aircraft. Selecting the 377 will give you a brand new aircraft with no wear or damage each time.
ü Animated air stairs (will appear when the aircraft is on the ground and the passenger door is opened)
ü ADI, Oil levels, and CO2 can be refilled from the Realtime Load Manager
ü Improved takeoff warning when flaps are not correctly set to require engines to be running AND to have BOTH engines 1-2 and 3-4 over 75% power
ü Improved navigators map features and functions
ü New autopilot with more tuned and natural handle / bank behavior
ü New control mapping tool to allow mapping autopilot handle and turbo lever to any controller axis
ü Mixture levers can be controlled via default mixture lever assignments
ü Autopilot pitch can be mapped to keys
ü New radio 2D panel (for those who want the most simple radio control)
ü 2D Controls panel can now 'gang' engines together for ease of use, for example, operate all cowl flaps with one button while outside the aircraft
ü Improved auto turbo control
ü New Oil System:
o Oil is consumed based on engine condition and power
o Oil can be transferred from the 56 gallon central oil tank to and from any engine (7 gal per min transfer rate)
o Oil dilution system where heated oil can be pumped through engines for cold starts (giving easier starting)
o Redesigned oil cooler flaps based on streamlined flaps, airspeed and outside air temperature (OAT)
o Loss of too much oil will result in oil pump sump running dry, creating sporadic loss of oil pressure as oil travels up and through engine
NOTE: Without the Accu-Sim add-on the user will be able to transfer oil and use the dilution system but no engine damage will occur if you run out of oil to an engine.
ü New fuel distribution system
ü Several bug fixes including:
o Fixed repeating startup sound on certain conditions
o Turbo rising temp after cold start fixed
o Eliminated the “We need to raise our idle” message from happening at odd times during startup
o Removed fuel pump sound in sound.cfg
o Fixed repeating low CAT warnings under certain conditions
Accu-Sim Changes:
ü Maintenance hangar including:
o Engine inspection reports
o Mechanics notes
o Engine overhauls
NOTE: With the Accu-Sim add-on the user will see the reports and be able to take steps to correct the wear / damage if required. Wear / damage will be saved and be present each time the 377 is selected if repairs are not undertaken.
ü Engine wear
ü Cold weather starts
ü Rare, unexpected failures
ü Failing engines can be nursed to run longer
ü Malfunctions can cause engines to sputter, cough, and vibrate gauges
ü Improved carb icing / shared carb heat
ü Applying high power with high carb air temps (CAT) can now cause detonation
ü Over-torque can cause engine stress
ü Fine tuned RAM air behavior
ü Persistent aircraft, carries over from flight to flight:
ü Users can now live with the same aircraft over hundreds of hours of flight
ü Damage, wear, or even system quirks are all saved
ü Natural randomization system creates fluid physics throughout the aircraft as well as naturally occurring events
ü More sounds including engine fire warning alarm, APU sound and low oil warnings
ü Added "Check Carb Air Temp" warning message to crew reports when one of the CAT's are not set correctly
ü Engineer now reports a turbo failure as serious engine trouble
ü Aircraft state is now saved with saved flights, including unique characteristics, damage, etc., so users can continue flying the same aircraft over long periods of time.
