Please note that not all items were released on mobile, so take a look at the below changelog for details about this update.

 

January 24, 2020 Update:

• * Added B777 added camera display page that renders three real-time cameras. Due to the performance impact this is only available on desktop
• * Added A320, B777 and B747 (M)CDU FIX-INFO page with ability to draw navigation fixes on navigation displays, i.e. distance rings and radials
• * Added B777 PFD and ND with new features: angle of attack indicator, LNAV/VNAV and ILS display at the same time, LNAV/VNAV deviation bars on the PFD
• * Changed B777 PFD and ND with modernized style: more spacing between instruments, flight mode annunciator with gray background, ILS info, ILS deviation bars outside of attitude indicator,
• location of the radar minimums display, updated PLAN mode, MAP centered mode compass rose
• * Added B747 and B777 PFDs and NDs added invalid-data-flags: e.g. when air data or inertial reference unit is not available, added time to IRS alignment on ND
• * Added B777 EFB (electronic flight bag) displays basic airport diagram
• * Added B777 and B747 CDU route creation and adjustments now possible with LEGS page, RTE page and DEP/ARR pages as well as VNAV pages
• * Added B777 and B747 NDs added top of climb and green arc for distance to target autopilot altitude
• * Fixed A320 departure now selectable again from route origin airport
• * Fixed B747 clickspots for the thrust levers now following the visible position again
• * Fixed F18 ADF bearing pointer now displayed on HSI
• * Fixed B777 landing gear now in proper damping mode for landing, no longer behaves like a spring
• * Fixed B777 top of descent point on the navigation display now displayed where the actual descent starts
