v806 Live

v806 is now live, main features added are:

Radio Comms

A 'Radio Panel Toggle' input shows the radio UI. Keys 0-9 select radio pages and commands.

Functionality will be expanded over time with more commands and associated logic,

Wingmen formation flight

Part of radio comms, you can control wingmen formations. Use flight training mission 'Formation' to check it out.

Digital nozzle angles step through the following angles for more control in vertical flight:

0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 75, 80, 82, 85, 90, 95, 98.5

Custom nozzle stop added to controls.

This is useful if for example you want to select 40° nozzle angle as you approach the end of the deck. To configure, set required nozzle angle then hold custom nozzle stop for 1 sec+. This records the stop position. A subsequent short press will select the recorded position.

Fixed an issue with AV8B rudder alignment

v807 should have mission planner updates, mission updates together with initial VR support.

I hoped to have mission planner updates in v806 so they are now item #1 of v807.

Mission updates will address presentation and content of current missions.

VR support is step #1 of the following

Initialisation and render to Oculus\Vive

Custom VR UI

Custom VR Scenes

Control room & displays

'Walk' to/around plane

Also cockpit model updates are due around the end of the month, I'm particularly looking forward to those :)
