Although only two weeks have passed since the last update, we already have a considerable changelog for the new version.
Autopilot 2.0 in progress
As expected, the new custom autopilot is keeping us on our toes. Several things have been fixed and with the new custom altitude select and altitude hold mode there is now a significantly improved transition phase between the two modes. However, this and other adjustments with regard to the upcoming SU15 update have cost us an unexpected amount of time, so we are a little behind schedule. Let's hope that the SU15 update doesn't have any more surprises in store to interrupt our progress.
Upcoming
For the next update we are already working intensively on the FMS speed mode, another milestone in the autopilot / FMS logic. We weren't able to ship it now but want to give you access to the changes mentioned below rather than postpone the release. We are also working on a new big feature on the sound side, details will be revealed in the next update.
Until then, we hope you enjoy the new version!
