CHANGES included in SERVICE PACK 1:
Core Aircraft Changes

- Early BOAC model
- Highly realistic textures with the latest A2A texturing techniques
NOTE: Without the Accu-Sim add-on the user will see the reports but they will have no effect on the aircraft. Selecting the 377 will give you a brand new aircraft with no wear or damage each time.

- Animated air stairs (will appear when the aircraft is on the ground and the passenger door is opened)
- ADI, Oil levels, and CO2 can be refilled from the Realtime Load Manager
- Improved takeoff warning when flaps are not correctly set to require engines to be running AND to have BOTH engines 1-2 and 3-4 over 75% power
- Improved navigators map features and functions
- New autopilot with more tuned and natural handle / bank behavior
- New control mapping tool to allow mapping autopilot handle and turbo lever to any controller axis
- Mixture levers can be controlled via default mixture lever assignments
- Autopilot pitch can be mapped to keys
- New radio 2D panel (for those who want the most simple radio control)
- 2D Controls panel can now 'gang' engines together for ease of use, for example, operate all cowl flaps with one button while outside the aircraft
- Improved auto turbo control
- New Oil System:
- Oil is consumed based on engine condition and power
- Oil can be transferred from the 56 gallon central oil tank to and from any engine (7 gal per min transfer rate)
- Oil dilution system where heated oil can be pumped through engines for cold starts (giving easier starting)
- Redesigned oil cooler flaps based on streamlined flaps, airspeed and outside air temperature (OAT)
- Loss of too much oil will result in oil pump sump running dry, creating sporadic loss of oil pressure as oil travels up and through engine

NOTE: Without the Accu-Sim add-on the user will be able to transfer oil and use the dilution system but no engine damage will occur if you run out of oil to an engine.

- New fuel distribution system
- Several bug fixes including:
- Fixed repeating startup sound on certain conditions
- Turbo rising temp after cold start fixed
- Eliminated the “We need to raise our idle” message from happening at odd times during startup
- Removed fuel pump sound in sound.cfg
- Fixed repeating low CAT warnings under certain conditions


Accu-Sim Changes
- Maintenance hangar including:
- Engine inspection reports
- Mechanics notes
- Engine overhauls
NOTE: With the Accu-Sim add-on the user will see the reports and be able to take steps to correct the wear / damage if required. Wear / damage will be saved and be present each time the 377 is selected if repairs are not undertaken.

- Engine wear
- Cold weather starts
- Rare, unexpected failures
- Failing engines can be nursed to run longer
- Malfunctions can cause engines to sputter, cough, and vibrate gauges
- Improved carb icing / shared carb heat
- Applying high power with high carb air temps (CAT) can now cause detonation
- Over-torque can cause engine stress
- Fine tuned RAM air behavior
- Persistent aircraft, carries over from flight to flight:
- Users can now live with the same aircraft over hundreds of hours of flight
- Damage, wear, or even system quirks are all saved
- Natural randomization system creates fluid physics throughout the aircraft as well as naturally occurring events
- More sounds including engine fire warning alarm, APU sound and low oil warnings
- Added "Check Carb Air Temp" warning message to crew reports when one of the CAT's are not set correctly
- Engineer now reports a turbo failure as serious engine trouble
- Aircraft state is now saved with saved flights, including unique characteristics, damage, etc., so users can continue flying the same aircraft over long periods of time.
