New released:
After over 2 years in development, I finally released my Advanced Forward-Looking Terrain Following Radar (TFR) and Autopilot. This is a add-on for MSFS2020 and MSFS2024.
The TFR scans the terrain ahead of the aircraft up to a few miles, and commands the elevator to follow the terrain contours at low altitude, down to 200 ft. It works beautifully and it quite a ride in low-visibility.
How does this work?
MSFS2020/24 has no provisions for scanning the terrain ahead. Instead this add-on uses its own standalone terrain database. Normally this would be a 700 GB database. But very clever programming and data manipulation reduces this to below 1 GB. The autopilot is fully custom coded. It allows the default autopilot to remain active for heading/NAV and speed control. This runs as a stand-alone application. It requires the mobiflight events module be installed.
This program is user-configurable to work with (almost) all aircraft. Configurations have been included for the IFE Tornado, JF Vulcan and Asobo F-18 (MSFS2024).
A detailed manual is included.
This add-on is freeware. Support is not provided, although I may respond to issues. Further development is optional.
