XP12 - v3.0.5a (16th September 2024):
- (v3.0.5a - 16th September - minor fix for RH landing gear animation).
- Flight Model: Turbo-Jet simulation updated to latest X-Plane 12 jet engine simulation features. Updated airfoils, refined flight dynamics internal-engineering.
- Systems:
- New Revi-16 optical reflector gun-sight.
- Added JATO ignition CB functionality.
- JATO fuel is reloaded on aircraft restart.
- Fuel tank quantity is un-powered until generator is on-line.
- Fug24/25 CB's are now controlling power to VHF/GPS/IFF.

- Main landing gears construction fixes.
- Disabled engine visible plume in various flight conditions.
XP12 - v3.02 (30th September 2023):
- Oxygen system fix - increased oxygen pressure to prevent hypoxia up until ~39,000 feet (a temporary patch due to recent X-Plane 12 changes in pressurization systems).
XP12 - v3.0 (23rd February 2023):
- Flight model deep validation to fall in line with the latest XP12 flight model updates (phase #1/2).
- Landing gears physics overhauled.
- Weight and balance corrections due latest XP12 aerodynamics updates.
- PBR rework for interior/exterior (to fall in line with the new XP12 rendering and lighting updates).
- Fix - 'aircraft is being initiated with nose-up attitude'.

XP11 - v1.0c (21th September 2020):
- Minor Fix - Oxygen system tuneups:
- Oxygen regulator mode adjustments, which were previously set to supply 100% when the valve is opened, and now the regulator is set to deliver more Oxygen with increasing altitude (should be 1.0 liter/min per 10,000 of pressure altitude up to about 34,000 feet).
XP11 - v1.0a (9th September 2020):
- Vne reset fix in situations which after fatal crash and resetting the flight (instead of reloading the aircraft), it remains lower than the normal baseline.
