Hi all, the 1.7 update files have been released, and are available for download via your simmarket account.
The Navdata cycle included with the 1.7 installer is Cycle 1013.
Integrated Simavionics group 1 (ISG1) ver 1.7.0 Update/Patch ----------------------------------------------------------------- ADDITIONS: -------------------------------------
New Gauges:

P1000_MFD_NB P1000 MFD with no background faceplate P1000_MFD_NB_CNTR P1000 lower MFD controller (to use with NB version of gauge)
-------------------- New config settings: (isg.cfg)
DrawTcasWindowOnP1000MFD=1 - Displays TCAS info on the P1000 MFD map displays instead of popup window. SetMCPCrzAltOnFlightPlanLoad=1 - Sets the autopilot altitude to the Flight Plan cruise alt when loaded (if .rte file contains crz alt info) HdgHoldOnLnavOn=1 - Turns on autopilot heading hold whenever TCAS is turned on.
-------------------- New config settings: ((AircraftId).cfg)
FlightPlansFolder= - Directory path where the FMC will list and Flightplans from when this (aircraftId).cfg file is used. DrawTcasWindowOnP1000MFD=1 - Displays TCAS info on the P1000 MFD map displays instead of popup window. SetMCPCrzAltOnFlightPlanLoad= - Sets the autopilot altitude to the Flight Plan cruise alt when loaded (if .rte file contains crz alt info) HdgHoldOnLnavOn=1 - Turns on autopilot heading hold whenever TCAS is turned on. MinVnavClimbIas= - Sets min Climb Ias limit for FMS to fly in VNAV.
Allows setting of preferred EHSI/ND display modes when aircraft is loaded:
EFS50HsiMode= - EFS50 EHSI HSI Mode ( 1-Rose, 2-RoseMap, 3-Rose/map/Wx, 4-Arc HSI, 5Arc/Map, 6-Arc/Map./Wx, 7-TCAS. EFS50NavMode= - EFS50 EHSI NAV Mode (1-VOR, 2-FMS) DU1000EHSIMode= - DU1000 EHSI Mode (0-Compass ,1-Arc, 2-Plan, 3-Map) HWB737NDMode= - Boeing 737 ND Mode (1-VOR,2-ILS,Arc-VOR,Arc-ILS,5-Map,6-CTR Map,7-Plan) HWMD11NDMode= - MD11 ND Mode (2-Plan,3-Map,4-Vor,5-App) MD80EHSIMode= - MD80 EHSI Mode (0-Rose,1-Arc,2-Plan,3-Map) PROLINE4MFDMode= - Proline4 MFD Mode (0-Rose,1-Arc,2-Plan,3-Map)
---------------------------------------------------- Color settings for the MD80 style EHSI ((AircraftId).cfg)
MD80EHSIBkgrdColorRed=(rgb value) MD80EHSIBkgrdColorGreen=(rgb value) MD80EHSIBkgrdColorBlue=(rgb value)
----------------------------------------------------------------- MODIFICATIONS: ----------------------------------------------------------------- - EFS50_EADI - added slip indicator ball. - AUX_CTRL - Added green (on) lights to aux ctrl panel buttons. - SMITHS_FMS - FMS supports Psued waypoint definitions in Navigraph Navdata.
----------------------------------------------------------------- Fixes: ----------------------------------------------------------------- - EFS50 EHSI - CDI deflection displayed in EHSI , not correct when in DCT mode via Smiths FMS. - SMITHS FMS - Some intersections towards bottom of database not displaying when selected in FMS. - DU_1000_EHSI - flight plan route displayed rotated at an angle after runway selected. - MCU - CTD when resizing popup window in Win7. - B777_ND - ND does not display when only ISG gauge installed.
Notes:
The new MinVnavClimbIas= .cfg setting is an attempt to address the issue of Heavy Aircraft stalling on VNAV climb due to it flying a fixed climb profile which can be difficult to maintain at near full fuel loads.
The MinVnavClimbIas= parameter tells the FMS that is the minimum climb speed allowed while in VNAV, if the aircraft falls below that speed it will start reducing the descent rate to try and gtet it back above the min Ias speed.
Also there is an additional climb stall protection built in.
When the FMS detects the aircraft is losing Ias speed while in the climb it will automatically start reducing the climb rate to try and stop the Ias speed loss. Going as low as the MinVnavClimbRate defined in the .cfg file (or using the default of 1500 ft).
This should help avoid the issue of stalls with some aircraft with heavy weight departures as they get into the upper altitudes and cannot maintain the higher climb rates it initially started with. The FMS will automatically reduce the climb rate to keep the climb accelerration rate from being negative.
You can use the MinVnavClimbRate, and MinVnavClimbIas settings to customize the minimum climb profiles for your Aircraft at the higher alts and heavier climb weights.
Regards. Ernie.
