RBCore: 30.00.00025 - 2020-10-13

Fixed

• • Dual Direct-to arrows when you have one direct-to active, then try to make the waypoint immediately before it a Direct-To instead
  • Issue that caused the G1000 SELECT APPROACH screen to freeze if user tried to load an approach at an airport that had no approaches
  • Issue that caused GNS and G1000 to crash if the user re-activated an already active approach
  • G1000 issue where user-defined altitude constraints entered into a flight plan waypoint were ignored
  • G1000 issue where the "selected" approach/arrival/departure was no longer shown selected if you tried to re-select another procedure
  • All gauges to not freeze during approach selection when RealNav data was not installed
  • Bug in the G1000 that caused straight LNAV/VNAV (without any LPV counterpart) to show a glidepath on the PFD incorrectly
  • An internal issue in all GPS units that caused a thread-collision crash at arbitrary times
  • A threading problem in HyperGauge that caused arbitrary sim crashes
  • Messages in G1000 and GNS so the turn anticipation message was a higher priority than other messages, ensuring turn anticipation gets displayed ahead of others
  • Turn anticipation countdown that would sometimes freeze at 9 seconds

Updated

• • Updated "Twin Engine Air" gauge with dual vacuum failures

Added

• • left/right vacuum failure to instructor Station for Twin Engine Aircrafts

Failing Single Vacuum

• • Red light under appropriate engine gauge will light up representing a failed Vacuum

Failing Dual Vacuum

• • Red light + Suction needle drop to zero and a corresponding effect on any vacuum based gauges (i.e. attitude)

Known Issues

Failing Single Vacuum

• • Suction needle will not drop if only one of the vacuums is failed (Sim engine limitations)

Left Vacuum + Cut-off Right engine

• • Will not automatically simulate real-world scenario (Sim engine limitations)

Work-Around

• • In order to simulate Real-World effect, the Instructor will need to:
    • Manually fail the right vacuum after cutting-off right engine
    • Reset failure when igniting right engine to clear
