CHANGELOG


1.1
- Systems: G3X internal compass no longer drifts
- Systems: GPS now works all the time
- Systems: GMC 307 AP module enriched with GFC 500 functions
- Systems: Transponder automatically set itself to "ALT" and "GND" modes
- Systems: Reduced fuel lines length/volume
- G3X: Can send a Direct To instruction to AP
- G3X: Displays Flight Director and AP status on PFD
- G3X: Manifold pressure and oil temperature gauges/zones rescaled
- G3X: Fuel quantity and fuel flow displayed in GPH instead of LPH
- G3X: PFD displaying cabin temperatures next to OAT
- G5: Fixed HSI aspect ratio
- Flight model: Engine/prop adjustments (reduced p-factor, smoother taxi)
- 3D model: New flight sticks for pilot and copilot (smaller and more true to life)
- 3D model: Some rivets were floating above the fuselage
- 3D model: Glareshield mesh improved, sharp edges removed
- 3D model: improved structural quality of last LOD (no more holes on cabin floor when viewed from really far)
- Textures: Removed stickers from the back side of the propeller blades
- Logic: Fixed broken prop which was forced visible on all Gabriels instead of only yours
- Logic: You can now break your prop even if it's not turning
- Logic: It's no longer possible to have characters conflicts between front and rear seat
- Logic: Cabin temperature simulated (OAT + canopy state + AC state) -- Phase 1
- EFB: Fixed typo in "info" menu
- Misc: Marketplace thumbnail changed for a more appealing livery
- User manual updated
1.0
Initial release

GABRIEL

A small aircraft designed and built by an Italian company that has made the hard choice to focus on modernity as much as on safety and looks. This spectacular aircraft is the result of passion.

The Gabriél (BK160-TR) is the first trainer aircraft of our time designed for general aviation, piston engine, single propeller. It features a full Garmin glass cockpit avionics (G3X Touch + G5), autopilot, secondary com/nav unit, and more. What sets it apart from the older GA trainers that we all know, is its tandem seating configuration and bubble canopy taken from the military trainer philosophy: With the instructor out of sight, the student feels responsible for the flight, and the perfect 300+ degree visibility gives him/her a strong connection to the world.

With a modest 160 hp, fuel injected engine (Lycoming IO-320), integrated into its lightweight and aerodynamically efficient airframe, the Gabriél has just the power it needs to fly beautifully and safely at up to 150 knots.

Whether you choose to fly it from the front seat or experience a more challenging flight in the back seat with a student in front of you, one thing is for sure: this Flying Fries' Gabriel BK160-TR will take your General Aviation flights (solo or multiplayer) to a whole new level.

KEY FEATURES

  • Highly detailed 3D modeling and 4K texturing.
  • Custom sound pack created specifically for the Gabriel.
  • Modern engine/propeller simulation and modern fuel system.
  • Complex electrical system with working circuit breakers.
  • Multiple custom pilot/passengers that can be selected from the EFB.
  • Failure system including broken propeller and canopy.
  • Fly with or without engine covers... And get a close look at the Lycoming IO-320.
  • Multiple payload configurations: fly from the front or rear seat, with or without a passenger.
  • Uses the MSFS/Working Title native Garmin avionics and autopilot suite.
  • Aircraft configuration and fueling via the EFB (no need for the fuel and payload menu or the FS2024 EFB).
  • Engine and ground roll vibration effects in the cockpit.
  • Interactive exterior static elements (remove the chocks, pitot covers and access stairs manually if you wish).
  • All custom visual effects (various engine smoke, heat blur, dust and rain spray, etc.)
  • 10 unique liveries. Some of them are based on their real counterparts.
  • 5 LODs for optimized multiplayer performance.
  • Lots of easter eggs to find!
