August 28, 20241 yr New Features Aircraft Anchors instead of brakes for seaplanes In the past the brake commands could be used to slow down seaplanes. That is obviously not how it works in real life. Therefore we added an anchor, which can be deployed and retracted using the following commands: CommandDescription sim/flight_controls/anchor_deployDeploy the anchor sim/flight_controls/anchor_retractRetract the anchor sim/flight/controls/anchor_toggleToggle the anchor between deploy and retract Fixes and Enhancements General The user aircraft is shown on the map again Various replay fixes Scenery All ships got updated to use our new photometric lights at day and night. We improved the wakes for boats. We increased the number of boats shown in the scenery. Airports Gateway Airports We added support for dual docking jetways at the following airports: London Heathrow (EGLL) Frankfurt Main (EDDF) Munich (EDDM) Dubai Intl (OMDB) New York City Kennedy Intl (KJFK) Chicago O’hare Intl (KORD) Atlanta Hartsfield Jackson (KATL) Los Angeles Intl (KLAX) San Francisco Intl (KSFO) Honolulu Daniel K Inouye Intl (PHNL) Tokyo Haneda Intl (RJTT) Gustaf III Airport (TFFJ) We removed the windsock for the 10 approach and added two elevated windsocks in their correct locations to the north west and south west corners of the airports. As pointed out by Michael Minuck, pilots familiar with the approach into the airport, will use both of these windsocks. On approach they will aim between them when over SUGARLOAF, which puts them on the final approach path for runway 10. In addition we removed the trees before the runway, because the field is empty in reality. Many thanks again to Michael Minuck (N8033Fox) for providing all the details and the fix! Aircraft General Fixed various smaller bugs in the Airbus and Boeing FMC. The current flap setting is now displayed correctly on the new HUD The altitude will be displayed correctly on the new HUD now (XPD-15709). Fixed elevator differential deflection, which was reversed in the sim (XPD-15884). Cirrus Vision SF50 We fixed the fuel tank positions. Local Web API Setting a batch of datarefs via WebSockets is working correctly now. https://www.x-plane.com/kb/x-plane-12-1-2-release-notes/
