Known Issues
- You cannot currently select Direct-To of a fix on your approach that is not the initial approach fix. This is a limitation of the sim flightplan system at present. We are investigating solutions to this issue.
- After using Direct-To, the navigation will not always automatically sequence to the next fix and may enter ROL mode. You can re-activate NAV to navigate to the next fix if you encounter this issue.
- There are cosmetic issues regarding the PFD and MFD (shapes, text, alignments). The PFD and MFD have not gotten a full layout overhaul as of this time.
- The aircraft is still using the built-in MSFS autopilot (for now). All the existing limitations of that still apply. It does behave a bit better with the engine performance changes.

A video of the upgrade.
Important Feature Change
The active flight plan route will no longer be displayed in the ARC or ROSE modes. This is accurate to the actual aircraft. The ARC and ROSE modes are designed to work with the course pointer system. If you would like to see the flight plan route, you must use the PPOS display mode (very similar to ARC, except with the active flight plan instead of pointers) or the PLAN mode.
To activate the new altitude select range indicator (altitude banana), press DSPL MENU on the FMC, then go to page 2. Press LSK3L to activate the indicator. The indicator will only be displayed in the PPOS mode.
Key Features

- You can now go to multiple pages of SELECT WPT, should there be any (thanks Danice737)
MOD SETTINGS
- A GPU can now be connected to the plane on the mod settings page
- Cabin lights are now properly tied to the battery bus state. This should also bring the flashlight back

- Properly modeled and styled course needles have been added to the ARC and ROSE modes reflective of the real aircraft
- The dotted blue ghost localizer needle now shows in ARC and ROSE if you have FMS selected, a localizer tuned, and within range (~30NM from airport)
- The altitude range arc has been added to PPOS mode and will now show when you will reach your selected target altitude (thanks WT Garmin team)
- Metric and imperial units switch should be reflected on the PFD/MFD
- Top-of-descent (TOD) indicator should now display on the moving map and its position properly calculated
- Heading bug resized
- Heading bug and line should now appear and disappear properly in the ARC and ROSE modes
- Changed color of deviation diamonds to green when on an ILS
- Changed deviation diamonds from filled to outlined diamond for accuracy
- Magenta track bug hidden when on the ground, resized, and overlayed over heading bug for visibility.
- When switching to NAV1 or NAV2, you can now select the NAV AP button to enable tracking the tuned VOR or localizer
- The weather radar sweep indicator should no longer show when WX is not being displayed
- Bearing pointers should no longer show in PLAN mode
- Fixed VSpeeds turning cyan when selecting options in the PFD menu
PROG

Known Issues
- The speed constraints on arrivals may not show correctly because of database issues.
- After using Direct-To, the navigation will not always automatically sequence to the next fix and may enter ROL mode. You can re-activate NAV to navigate to the next fix if you encounter this issue.
- The aircraft is still using the built-in MSFS autopilot (for now). All the existing limitations of that still apply. It does behave a bit better with the various enhancements applied.
- Some flight plan distances may still be misreported when the approach is activated. Please log an issue if you encounter this with details.
- Some instances of the autopilot skipping approach waypoints still occur - this is deep in the sim handling of waypoints and is, for now, out of our hands. We will continue to research this.

- After using Direct-To, the navigation will not always automatically sequence to the next fix and may enter ROL mode. You can re-activate NAV to navigate to the next fix if you encounter this issue.
- The aircraft is still using the built-in MSFS autopilot (for now). All the existing limitations of that still apply. It does behave a bit better with the various enhancements applied.
- Some flight plan distances may still be misreported when the approach is activated. Please log an issue if you encounter this with details.
- Some instances of the autopilot skipping approach waypoints still occur - this is deep in the sim handling of waypoints and is, for now, out of our hands. We will continue to research this.

https://github.com/Working-Title-MSFS-Mods/fspackages/releases/tag/cj4-v0.7.3This is a hotfix for adjusting the autopilot PIDs to temporarily work around the lateral guidance issues some users are experiencing in MSFS update 1.11.6.0.
Changes
- Changed Autopilot PID values to get rid of lateral navigation problems introduced with MSFS update 1.11.6.0
Known Issues
- Altitude constraints are not currently selectable on the map due to incorrect data being displayed.
- The speed constraints on arrivals may not show correctly because of database issues.
- After using Direct-To, the navigation will not always automatically sequence to the next fix and may enter ROL mode. You can re-activate NAV to navigate to the next fix if you encounter this issue.

A major upgrade release.
This update includes an enormous navigational systems overhaul, making it an excellent aircraft for a full range of IFR flight activities and procedures. We have also added a number of other great features, like a full FADEC and sound overhaul. This release is incredibly large, and is such very much a beta release.

An upgrade to address issues with v0.8.0.
https://github.com/Working-Title-MSF...tag/cj4-v0.8.1This is a point release to address some of the issues seen this week with version 0.8.0. This version remains a beta release.
KEY FEATURES
- Added VFR runway approaches - in DEP/ARR you can now choose a VFR runway for landing and specify a runway extension waypoint to be added to the flight plan as far as 25nm from the runway. This allows you to 'roll your own' LNAV/VNAV approach to any runway at any airport. Great for small/private fields! https://streamable.com/idloxs
- Fixed issue when resuming VNAV climbs and fixed issue when setting missed approach altitude during an RNAV approach with GP.
Compatibility
- Removed old unused files that were causing a compatibility issue with WT Garmin units and the FBW A32NX
RNAV
- Fixed an issue where GP would stop descending and capture an altitude when the altitude preselector was moved (i.e. to the missed approach altitude)
- Fixed an issue where sometimes the active waypoint would sequence to the airport and take the plane off course on an RNAV approach.
MCP
- Fixed an issue where the CRS would not accept input sometimes while not in LNV or NAV mode
PFD
- Numerous fantastic cosmetic accuracy updates (contribution by TheFlieger)
- FMS mach value now always shows only two digits
- Updated BARO indications to show when STD has been set; updated BARO knob to always set STD pressure when pressed
MFD
- Numerous fantastic cosmetic accuracy updates (contribution by TheFlieger)
- Shows IGN indication on engine ignition during startup
- Don't show TOD marker on map when in Approach Mode
SAI
- Fixed the baro setting rounding error
FMC
- LEGS page will no longer intepret entries of lower than FL500 as speed restrictions
- LEGS order of AB restrictions should now be correct
- FPLN now allows proper entry of 3 letter ICAO airport codes
- FPLN selecting Origin or Destination will put the ICAO into the scratchpad
- Visual approach (runway extension fix) capabilty added to the DEP/ARR page
- Pressing LSK next to origin and dest will now copy ICAO to the scratchpad
- FMC should no longer blackscreen when going to the ARR DATA page
- FP Sync option will now actually be active when set to enabled
- Added new option "FPLN RECALL (GAME)" to Route Menu to sync the flight plan from world map to the FMS
Flight Plan Manager
- Fixed issue where some track-to-radial-intercept legs were being dropped from procedures
- Changed behavior of FP Sync on flight start
- When FP Sync is off: ATC/VFR plan remains but FMS plan is empty. Enter the flight plan manually or use the FPLN RECALL options
LNAV
- Fixed issue where LNAV would get stuck in a swapping full left then right bank oscillation
Sound
- Wind, Spoiler Drag and external engine sounds should now be played on the right audio bus so it doesn't play during pause & volume can be adjusted.
A hot fix to cover recent MSFS release.
https://github.com/Working-Title-MSF...tag/cj4-v0.8.2This is a point release to address compatibility with MSFS 1.12.13.0 (VR Update).
An all black cockpit/interior.
