XP12 - Version v1.0.4b (15th December 2025)
- VSL 510X-ER variant: Bug fix (tip tanks transferring issues in cold and dark/after shutting down engine, on each side).
XP12 - Version v1.0.4a (10th December 2025)
- Major Update Release - End of Early-Access phase:
- All planned features and refinements which have been planned for v1.0 have been implemented. The project successfully entered the long-term development road-map!
- Aircraft split (two separate variants included):
- VSL 510X-VLJ 'Production aircraft': now derives from a pure Mustang-Class reference. All prototype/test features (hybrid cockpit, experimental pitot system) have been removed from this variant to provide authentic VLJ simulation.
- VSL 510X-ER 'Prototype aircraft': extended range variant equipped with two 400 lbs wing-tip fuel tanks, hybrid cockpit configuration, experimental equipment.
- Interaction:
- GCU Keyboard interaction cursor changed to 'Button type'.
- GCU Keyboard pop-up interaction zone added to allow pop-up of the keyboard with direct interaction (mouse/VR).
- Rotary Test knob is now wrapped-cyclic, allowing full cycle over and over.
- Systems:
- Systems architecture refinements to fall in line even closer with the Mustang systems reference for v1.0 release point.
- Ignition system enhancements to fall in line with the Mustang auto-ignition internal workflow.
- Fuel system enhancements, boost-pumps are now energized during engine start sequence, for each engine.
- Engine-Fire lights (push buttons), added generator trip, and now allows resetting generators trip, fuel isolation and extinguish bottle arm, when depressed.
- Built-In Avitab Integration:
- Avitab (freeware plugin, not included) can be set and removed on the pilot's yoke (stowed in the aviation bag next to the copilot seat).
- FMOD Sounds:
- Overall refinements and mastering.
- Paint-Kit:
- Paint-Kit v1.0 was added (GIMP format).
- Bug-fixes (v1.0.4a):
- STBY altimeter now reads stby alt correctly, manipulator-not functioning bug was fixed, typo on the altimeter plate was fixed.
XP12 - Version v1.0.3 (5th December 2025)
- Ground ops envelope added:
- Aircraft is fully compatible with X-Plane 12 native Ground Services, including GPU (Ground Power Unit) and other ground services.
- GPU state turns on automatically when the GPU receptacle door is opened, once the service arrives to the aircraft.
- Auto-chocks are installed in cold and dark start.
- Windshield sun-visors are placed in cold and dark.
- Interaction:
- Pilot's head is now hidden ONLY when the internal position of the camera is very close to the head - to prevent seeing headless pilot in internal views even when the camera is positioned further away.
- Chocks interaction can be executed with the mouse/VR on external view, with dedicated interaction zones positioned on the tires. (This interaction comes in parallel to X-Plane 12 Ground Handling window interaction).
- Windshield sun-visors added: Interact with them (mouse/touch/command) to remove, interact with the windshield sticker, placed up in the center-corner of each windshield piece, to install.
- FMOD Soundpack enhancements:
- Added in-flight ambient sound with slight ear-pressure effect during flight.
- Added throttle cutoff gate/detents sounds.
- Added door/door handle/animated ladder sounds.
- Added heavy-landing sound effect.
- Various sounds tuneups.
- Overall sound-mastering and levels adjustments.
- Bug fixes:
- Stby Artificial Horizon adjustment interaction.
- Autopilot - VNV light now works correctly.
- ATC sounds channel are not reduced inflight.
XP12 - Version v1.0.2 (17th November 2025)
- VSKYLABS 510X integrated Throttle/cutoff mechanism tuneups:
- Throttle 'blip' throw was reduced by 50% to allow smoother and easier 'blip' range especially in axial throttle hardware.
- Added dedicated commands for cutoff/idle and toggle. The commands are accessible via the VSKYLABS Assignment Layer (via X-Plane 12 assignment system), and can be interacted via lua as well.
- 'VSL-510X-VLJ-ESSENTIALS.pdf' file update.
XP12 - Version v1.0 (13th November 2025)
- EARLY ACCESS PHASE - Initial release version v1.0
