As usual, even if we have tested all for about a month, we're deploying this new build as an Open Beta first, to be sure that no problems arise when making new "official" full installers.

IMPORTANT: due the many changes involved with this release, the installer resets your Load Manager options and installed aircrafts: be sure to read the included PDF installation guide before upgrading to learn how to export and import all of them again into this new version!

The main new feature is the EFB addition and its included apps (more details can be found in the included EFB Manual and EFB Flight Tutorial), but this build includes a bunch of fixes and enhancements to further rise the bar of our simulation; just to name a few:

• Flight dynamics fine tuning (including new LOC/CAP logic, calibrated thrust reverse power, new custom yaw damper/autorudder logic);
• A brand new "Realistic mode": more details on the included Quick Guide;
• New "light" failures;
• Graphics enhancements, including PBR texturing, a gentle dirt layer on displays and effects fine tuning;
• A new "always pause at TOD" option, as requested by many;
• Revision of all 82/83/88 weights and new PFPX profiles (remember to replace your old ones, and check that weights are correctly set in PFPX/Simbrief for your saved airframes, as detailed int the documentation);

All this said, the big news is not just the EFB itself, but how we modeled it: just like you would expect from the Leonardo SH team, it's a piece of art.

It simulates a real tablet, and it's really easy to use: it has been developed around the concept of "apps", and features some cool tools that will make your pilot's life easier:

- finally, a proper Performance module is now capable of calculating all necessary data for all variants and engine options;

- a brand new Electronic Aircraft Technical Log will help you managing all maintenance tasks and failures; this isn't just a nice application but a perfect replica of a real EATL that you will need to check and use for reporting malfunctions as you would in a real aircraft, and brings a whole new level of realism to our product;

- you will be able to load your OFP directly from the EFB from the Weight and Balance app, without the need of opening the Load Manager before the simulator to import your flight data and set payload/fuel;

- for those owning a Navigraph subscription, there's a nice Charts application ready to use.

It's all detailed in the included pdf guides, speaking of which are all available inside the document's reader app in the EFB;

We think this is the best Fly the Maddog X release to date, and we're sure you will enjoy it.

We're going to have our summer holidays starting next week, so you could experience a bit of delay in support.

We'll be back in September and yes, we do have plans for a MSFS2020 version .

Blue skies and happy summer everyone!
