Airports & Sceneries
– New Features:
– Major EFB overhaul:
– The EFB has received a major functional and visual overhaul.
– The external Flysimware binding software has now been integrated directly into the EFB.
– Hardware bindings can now be configured directly from the new Settings page without requiring the separate external application.
– New Settings page:
– Added unit selection.
– Added Show Passengers override.
– Added Show Copilot override.
– Added Payload Sync control.
– Show Passengers and Show Copilot allow passenger and copilot weights to remain loaded while independently hiding their 3D character models.
– When Payload Sync is enabled, the EFB controls and maintains the aircraft payload station weights.
– When Payload Sync is disabled, payload weights can be entered manually through the simulator Weight & Balance system or controlled by compatible third-party career / flight-management software.
– New adjustable payload system:
– Added adjustable payload sliders for passengers, avionics, baggage, wing lockers, and rear cargo.
– Payload weights are no longer limited to fixed default values.
– Added left and right wing locker payload controls.
– Added improved rear cargo payload control.
– New Quick Load system:
– Added Quick Load presets for fast payload configuration.
– Medium and Heavy presets allow the aircraft to be loaded instantly without manually configuring every individual payload position.
– New Tank Timer and cabin temperature display:
– Added a Tank Timer display.
– The Tank Timer also displays the current cabin temperature.
– The C414A does not require routine left/right tank switching, so the timer can simply be left disabled.
– Updates:
– Payload page redesign:
– Completely redesigned the Payload page with a cleaner layout and improved weight displays.
– Added individual payload controls and expanded payload configuration options.
– Updated payload limits and available payload ranges to better reflect the aircraft compartment limitations.
– Improved payload station handling:
– Improved synchronization between the EFB and the simulator Weight & Balance system.
– Added support for externally controlled payload weights when Payload Sync is disabled.
– Improved passenger visibility logic so passenger selection, passenger weight, and 3D character visibility can operate independently.
– EFB cosmetic improvements:
– Updated and cosmetically improved the other EFB pages for a more consistent and modern appearance.
– New TruSim cabin climate logic:
– Cabin temperature now responds dynamically to outside ambient temperature.
– Opening doors and windows allows outside air temperature to affect the cabin.
– The amount of temperature change is influenced by how far the doors and windows are opened.
– Even with the aircraft fully closed, outside temperature will now slowly influence cabin temperature through the aircraft structure and insulation.
– Improved fuel-fired cabin heater logic:
– The heater now works with the selected thermostat temperature and automatically cycles as needed to maintain cabin temperature.
– Once the selected temperature is reached, the heater will shut off.
– If cabin temperature falls approximately 3 degrees below the selected temperature, the heater will automatically begin heating again.
– New climate and pressurization instructions:
– Added new instructional images to the Additional Information folder.
– The new instructions cover the climate-control and pressurization systems.
– They explain how the air conditioning, fuel-fired heater, engine heat exchangers, cabin air controls, and related pressurization controls work together.
– The instructions are intended to help users choose the most appropriate heating or cooling method for current conditions while understanding which pressurization controls also affect cabin airflow and temperature management.
Flysimware’s tech pilot owns this Cessna 414AW Chancellor with a RAM IV conversion and winglets which allowed Flysimware to have direct access to the real bird. In return this gives you a highly accurate model with extreme attention to detail as Flysimware took hundreds of images, measurements and recorded sounds over a 2 year period.
The Cessna 414 is an American light, pressurized, twin-engine transport aircraft built by Cessna. It first flew in 1968 and an improved variant was introduced from 1978 as the 414A Chancellor.
The pressurized 414 was developed to appeal to owners of unpressurized, twin-engined aircraft, and was based on the fuselage of the Cessna 421 and used the wing design of the Cessna 401. The 414 is a low-wing cantilever monoplane with a conventional tail unit and a retractable tricycle landing gear. It is powered by two wing-mounted 310 hp Continental TSIO-520-J horizontally opposed, six-cylinder engines. The Chancellor has a maximum speed of 270 mph, a climb rate of 1,700 feet per minute, and a ceiling of 30,000 feet with a range 1,528 miles.
The prototype first flew on 1 November 1968, and production aircraft were available in a number of optional seating arrangements and avionics packages. The name Chancellor was used for models marketed from 1976. An improved variant the Cessna 414A Chancellor was introduced in 1978 with the major change being a redesigned and increased-span wing with integral fuel tanks and an extended nose to give more baggage space.
