CHANGELOG


1.1
- FACT handle now comes back up after using FLAPS DOWN
- Max altitude reading is now 99M ft instead of 9M ft. Let's see who gets there!
- HUD: Correct altitude and ground speed are displayed, and an additional altimeter is shown in km/mi
- HUD: Minor visual changes to existing elements (colors, fonts, and borders)
- Canopy dirt removed and scratches reduced to prevent bad texture at high altitude in FS2024 (not yet perfect, but way better)
- KARA: 85 additional comments, for already existing and new events (new total: 210 recordings)
- KARA: "Landing Gear" warning will now play at 300 knots instead of 350 knots
- Fuselage lights ON when starting on runway or mid-air
- EFB: Major code refactoring
- EFB: "Options" page rearranged
- EFB/Cargo missions: confirmation popup before the mission starts
- EFB/Cargo missions: 55 new cargo types (new total: 155 cargo types)
- EFB/Cargo missions: selecting a range brings you to the first page of that range
- EFB/Cargo missions: each destination's heading is shown before selection
- EFB/Cargo missions: new missions history page
- CAS: Fix persistence of warnings/cautions for fuel tanks low/critical levels (still needs improvement)
- Checklists: stop APU after starting engines 1 and 4
- Vacuum pump attached to all four engines, not just engine one
- Changed the advised landing speed to 200-220 knots instead of 220-260
- Detachable (pop-out) gauges for G3000 and all front main displays
- A few decal fixes
- New livery: "Steiny's Quasar"
- New livery: "Ace of Spades"
- VFX: Improved afterburner texture
- VFX: Contrails only visible between 20,000 and 70,000 ft
- VFX: Wing tip vortices improved (especially in FS2020) and only visible under 60,000 ft
- VFX: More reliable and controlable atmospheric glow on fuselage
- User Manual update: small fixes to checklists
- Reduced the number of LVars used in hangar views
1.0.1

QUASAR

The Quasar is a fictional aircraft. Lord Frites came up with the idea in December 2023, and it began to take shape in his mind. Fifteen months and a lot of paper were needed to transform the idea into a clearly defined concept. A few more months and more help than ever were then needed to transition from the final drawings and 3D models to a finished aircraft that flies exceptionally well in Flight Simulator 2020 and 2024. The Quasar pushes the boundaries of these simulated worlds to their limits and brings unique gameplay mechanisms.

The Flying Fries team is extremely proud of this aircraft, our most ambitious and complex project to date. Fly to the edge of space, reach Mach 7.8 (approximately 5,000 knots ground speed), and manage your fuel burn and fuel production rates to reach any destination thousands of miles away. Then, head west and race the sun. Overtake our star, then carefully manage your descent, and finally land at high speed on a runway which will be barely long enough to bring this heavy spaceship to a complete stop.

You can also choose to transport rare and precious cargo from one location to another thanks to the easy-to-use mission generator. With almost 3,000 registered airports and 100 cargo types, you will face infinite challenges and have many opportunities to witness the beauty of this virtual rendition of Earth.
