XP12.1

[Keith Baxter]

Hi,

XP12.1 has brought a lot of exciting stuff.However it seems that some datarefs have changed so keep that in mind.
New dataref for autobrake deceleration rate
New dataref for manual override throttle

The G1000 has had a big upgrade as well. Like the AUX, Weather and trafic new features.
G1000 updates:
NAV group:
● Default nav map: Added ADS-B traffic symbols and the option to display METARs
● Traffic map: Shows ADS-B traffic targets with precise velocity vectors (unlike old TCAS,
we know precisely where people are headed) and flight IDs/tail numbers. The traffic can
be filtered to normal altitude range (default), above (for climb), below (for descent) and
unrestricted (to see all traffic at all altitudes)
● Stormscope: Shows lightning activity around the airplane by passive detection of electric
discharge
● Datalink Weather: Shows in-flight weather received over ADS-B or XM satellite. Shows
NEXRAD, Lightning, Cloud coverage, Winds Aloft and METARS
● Terrain: Shows track-up terrain warnings

WPT group:
● Airport: Display information about any airport. Pull decoded METAR reports for any
airport (received over ADS-B or XM in real life)
● Intersection: Display information about any intersection, including its nearest VOR
● NDB, VOR: Display information about any navaid, including its nearest airport

AUX group:
● GPS status: Shows current GPS accuracy and GPS status (whether DIFF NAV is
available). Allows de-selection of SBAS if desired for training.
● LRU system status: Shows status of all LRUs of the G1000 and helps with detection of
failures. Allows verification of navigation database cycle.

Startup splash screen:
Shows navigation database expiration date and version of X-Plane (thus version of X-Plane
global airports).

Reversionary mode:
When started cold, the PFD stays in reversionary mode until pilot has acknowledged the
database on the MFD

The streaming is also working
NEW Custom Avionics Devices:
Plugins can create devices that can be mapped to the cockpit in the same way
the default Garmins are (ATTR_cockpit_device)
Plugins get callbacks for screen and bezel drawing, screen and bezel left- and
right-clicks, scroll wheel motion, cursor
Full pop-up support, including window position saving
Plugins get full access and control over the pop-up and pop-out geometry
Optional on-demand refresh of the device’s screen contents
Extend new avionics APIs and callbacks to overrides for stock devices
