Falcon 50B Changelog — v1.0.3

Autopilot

#796 The 2ND COURSE selection now shows its needle and can be adjusted with the CRS knobs, so you can preselect a final approach course

#847 Climb mode now reliably transitions to the correct climb Mach instead of occasionally getting stuck at a lower speed

#848 Vertical Speed and Climb modes now capture the preselected altitude reliably, instead of sometimes flying straight through it

#851 The autothrottle now transitions out of takeoff mode into Climb and Cruise as expected instead of staying in takeoff thrust

#852 Engaging Vertical Speed while the aircraft is already climbing or descending now captures a clean rounded rate (e.g. 1100 fpm) instead of an odd value like 1150 fpm

#853 The speed and altitude selector knobs now accelerate when turned quickly, so large changes are much faster to dial in

#856 Descent modes now target the correct cruise Mach instead of whatever Mach you happen to be flying at the time

#868 Improved NAV and LOC tracking for more accurate and stable course capture and hold

#883 The flight director command bars now deflect correctly at higher bank angles and only disappear at extreme attitudes, instead of snapping to the aircraft symbol past 25° of roll

#885 The flight director now commands the correct higher pitch target on the ground when Go-Around mode is active

#811 Added an Imperial/Metric option that now also converts the standby altimeter, GNS-XLS weights and fuel, and MX20 baro to metric units

#813 On the takeoff performance notepad you can now sync speed bugs and weight, and clicks no longer accidentally trigger controls on the landing page behind it (MSFS 2020)

#835 Added an option to scale up the tablet and speed card, making them much easier to read in VR

#836 Added an option to disable rudder-pedal nose wheel steering, so pilots using a dedicated tiller can steer more realistically

#839 The takeoff performance card is now fully clickable (MSFS 2020)

Instruments & Cockpit

#783 The fuel-used counter can now be reset with a right-click again (MSFS 2020)
