XP12 - v3.3.1 (21st March 2026)
- Updated documentation structure:
- All project documentation transferred to the Contraventus section in the VSKYLABS Aircraft Center.
- Updated included documentation.
- Removed Skunkcrafts updater:
- Product updates are no longer supported via Skuncrafts Updater.
- The most updated version of the product is available via the user-account at the store.

XP12 - v3.2 (4th December 2022):

XP12 - v3.0 (September 2022):
- X-Plane 12 initial version released.
XP11 - v2.5 (4th December 2019):
- Flight Dynamics Model:
- Descent speed has changed to one which holds the highest lift over drag ratio...this is around ~17 knots give or take, the recharge efficiency indicator will get on the 'green' and should be used along with sink rate monitoring (should fluctuate between -350 to -150 feet per minute...in average).
- It is possible to do the climb outs with full power at ~17-20 knots...however, the recommended shallow climb may be managed with reduced power, and almost the same rate of climb.
- Solar panels are now working side by side with windmill recharge - Solar panels are not effective at night, so flying *into* the night is the most probable approach in prolonged endurance flight.
- Online manual was updated accordingly.
XP11 - v2.1 (9th November 2019):
- Flight Dynamics Model:
- Compatibility update for X-Plane 11.40 (including Experimental flight model environment).
XP10 - v1.0 (2015): Project initiated and released.
