NOTE:
This update applies to the Accu-Sim Spitfire, P-40, and P-51.



New in Core Update v.1.4
General
- Engine hours and aircraft system states preserved (for those already on core update v.1.3)
- Fixed issue that caused one mag would sometimes not fire correctly
- Some changes to cabin humidity as cabin was fogging up during very humid days and rain


P-40
New features:
- Added Auto Cold & Dark option
- The pilot is removable
- Added engine hot metal cooling crack physics and sounds
- Added carburetor fuel return line (reserve tank)
- New temperature gauge physics in p-40

Improvements / Bug fixes:
- Increased aileron effectiveness at mid range speeds, reduced at high to match chart. Peak 95 deg sec at 270mph ias, 50 lb stick force.
- P-40 ram air / carb heat lever and logic fixed
- Brakes improvements


Spitfire
New features:
- Added Auto Cold & Dark option
- The pilot is removable
- Added engine hot metal cooling crack physics and sounds

Improvements / Bug fixes:

- Increased pneumatic pressure useage with flap operation
- Direct drive electric starter torque increased


P-51
Improvements / Bug fixes
- Metallic material and texture improvements
- Minor fixes to some paint chips

This plane uses default FSX icing. It was not altered with Accu-Sim and is indicative of FSX itself.

It's very easy to get a case of "feature-itis."

It's very easy to get a case of "feature-itis."

Would it really be "feature-itis" to have one of the two most important instruments (the other one is the altimeter) in the cockpit behave correctly? I mean, we are not talking about a barf bag counter here.

I had the same problem in the spit last night.

Airspeed was reading 0 IAS after a heavy dive. I thought I had broken something, came to land (by guessing airspeed) without incident, let things cool down, took off again and all was fine.

i guess simiulated icing but it did clear itself.
