June 2020 Code Update

It is June (at least in some of the world), and thus it is time for the June code update

Things have been done, mostly focusing on the FMS and EFB. As part of the EFB2 sprint, large changes to the EFB are being made, including:
New AIRCRAFT CONFIG system, allowing you to manage all the important aircraft loadout features, including the galley, crew and cargo

New take off calculator, incorporating a variety of new features, such as automatic flap selection for flaps 5, 10, 15, 17, 18 and 20, runway intersection support (for limited airports) and SEL TEMP (ATM) calculation

The EFB errors have gotten a updowngrade too!

and finally, the landing calculator is also making an appearance

thanks spooky man

aero ur the best

but speed is doing the cockpit so lol

This is very cool 😎

The policy for now is to show previews from within X-Plane only (Few exceptions have been made before). The FMC doesn't do anything in X-Plane as of now so there's no preview for it. 

Just a question for who can ever answer it, when is the update coming out? I’m in no rush of an answer but I am just curious! Thanks!!

can you not discuss what being changed in the fmc? or whats being improved at least, not asking for pictures but would be nice to know what the plan is and what has been implemented, as the fmc and the autopilot is what lacks on this plane, and really lets it down.

It's a completely new FMC designed from the ground up for Boeing aircrafts. It will work like how an actual Boeing FMC is supposed to work. So far we've implemented LNAV calculations which has taken up majority of our time, we are currently working on VNAV calculations (ECON CLB, CRZ, DES, STEP CLBS, etc). Once that is done, we will move on the new autopilot and new navigational display systems. Route pathing seems to be the hardest part of the system we're developing and thankfully we've made a lot of progress on it over the past few months.The current FMC is the default system provided by X-Plane which is meant for the general use case and thus doesn't work as well, hopefully with the new systems we will eliminate most of the problems with the aircraft. I can try to answer specific questions if anyone has them.

Awesome!!! That’s great news!! Take your time, we love the plane! You already did a great job so far! Certainly it will be a great deliver when ready! Thanks for your effort, guys! Keep up the great work!! 

will the hud work  Grate update

Looking forward, thanks for the update.

Looks beautiful. Thank you Magknight team for all the hard work. I'm very excited about the progress. For me personally, Best purchase I've made so far. Thank you!! God Bless

Awesome news. When all is implemented it will be great!

Plane already handles great, and I mean hand flying it.

FMC isn't complete. No landing data still. But it'scoming!

Cheers

Awesome! A bit late to the thread, probably a new code update will be posted soon, but I have just found it.

I am looking forward to the new FMC. This plane will be finally a study level simulation, or as close as most of us need or care :-). I was considering buying it for some time, I think I will pull the trigger soon on it, the FMC is something I was waiting for and I will be very happy to support your development.

Good luck!

I am a new user of 787-900. Should I be aware that there are monthly updates to the aircraft?

Hi. 

HOW TO update?

Skunkcraft updater.

Run XP with a Laminar aircraft. Open Skunkcraft updater. Run update. Load aircraft and be happy.

Tnahk you. Skunkcraft still is 2.5 version?

No way, as you can see on attachment.

Starting to take shape now. Looking good. Thanks for the hard work so far. 

I can't find the 787 in my skunkcraft updater like josecamoreira. What can i do instead downloading the whole plane?

Hello, on my tablet in the performance section it does not show the calculation of the trim position, tell me how to fix it?

Do I update to Beta to get these features?  I don't see the performance section either.  It would be great if you detailed the version # with these updates.  Looks like a great product; looking forward to flying soon...
