Looks like some flight model and propwash stuff, will be interested to find out what the opinion is of them. :smile:

Fix for the parking brake hydraulic issue is welcome for the IXEG.  I have been forced to race to start APU before leaving the ramp, lol.  Relatively few bug fixes tells me that the February 15 release date (per Steam) is still on track.

I installed PB7 and every time I load a flight the sim locks up and stops responding.  It isn't working for me.

 

It looks like the lock up only occurs at certain airports, so far it has only happened when I start on RWY 5 at KAPF.

The propwash effect seems to be slightly higher. Probably just a tuning.

Did a quick look and it's working fine here.

 

S-76 doesn't feel as twitchy on the ground at engine idle, so propeller thrust might have been reduced. Needs more testing and confirmation from others, with helos and fixed wing prop planes.

 

From a hot start on the runway, the Carenado PC-12 immediately swivels to the left when "B" brakes are off, with no wind. Default C172 does the same, although more slowly. 

 

Edit to add:

As a cross-check, I loaded the Carenado PC-12 in XP10. It will also start moving and turn left when the "B" brakes are removed, but much slower than in XP11 pb7. So that's possibly a realistic propwash effect (I don't know, I don't own a real one), but the effect is much stronger in XP11 pb7.

And no night sky fix, not that I had expected it. Everyone interprets realism differently, lol.

AI flies your aircraft leads to a quick CTD with default 737 and 172. Nice tradition to always break something while attempting to fix something else. Reminds me of my skills in DIY. EDIT: Does not happen if AI is activated in flight, only on ground. Strange. Very nice frames though. Close to 90 in this shot.

Not turning to left here. At KOAK, wind 8knts @ 250. Hdg 230. Full mixture, 1000 rpm - straight as a die.
