Aircraft
General
- Improved close-range weather radar detection by simulating realistic radar beam spread near the aircraft, preventing situations where clouds directly ahead could be missed due to the main beam being too narrow.
- The weather radar texture will clear the pixel buffer before blending the new return. This is important for aircraft with ND backgrounds other than black.
- The MFD of the X1000 will remain in the chosen track mode after returning to the main screen from some subscreens via a long press of the CLR button (XPD-17339)
- Fixed an issue where the Synthetic Vision loader could run out of cores (XPD-17335)
Beechcraft Baron 58
- Fixed the fuel tank selector logic where some levers could get stuck (XPD-17248)
Boeing B737-800
- Improved the wind condensation particles (XPD-17346)
Cessna Citation X
- Display DEST on PROG page of second FMS as well (XPD-17321)
