Update Log
JetManHuss - VSKYLABS (c) 2026 All Rights Reserved
XP12 - v1.1.1 - (21st March 2026)
- Updated documentation structure:
- All project documentation transferred to the VSKYLABS Junkers A50 Junior 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 - v1.1c - (2nd November 2024):
- Minor fix: False aileron animation when trying to use flaps command (the aircraft is not equipped with flaps, but there was a bug showing movements in ailerons).
XP12 - v1.1a - (30th October 2024):
- Tail-wheel self-locking mechanism threshold was reduced, allowing reasonable slack for the tail-wheel during the locking state. This allows smoother taxiing.
- Passenger head gesture interaction change: no longer using the default 'g' assignment. Use the on-screen manipulator or assign a key/button using the X-Plane 12 assignment system (search for 'junkers' or 'junkers head' and you'll fine it).
- Manual/POH update rev.002
XP12 - v1.1 (28th October 2024):
- Flight dynamics:
- Auto-lock mechanism was implemented. Like in the real aircraft, when the tail-wheel is aligned with the aircraft axis, it gets locked automatically. Then, only excessive force will get it unlocked. Once it is unlocked - like in the real aircraft, it becomes totally unlocked. This improves the feel of the tail-wheel mechanism and also the control especially in straight lines.
- Landing gears friction and pressure tuneups.
- Various tune-ups to fall in line with the latest X-Plane 12 flight dynamics and systems features.
- Interaction:
- VSKYLABS 'Cockpit-Builders-Heaven' was implemented, allowing to assign all aircraft switches, knobs, levers and interactions in a designated, uncluttered section in the X-Plane 12 assignment screen.
- Interaction with brakes (non differential) is now possible with 'notches' in the press/release key/button assignment. This is extremely useful for users without pedals or without braking feature in their pedal equipment.
- Graphics/Animations:
- Fuel tank selector operation has changed to 'right/left' step based operation.
- Bug-fixes:
- Differential braking coupling with rudder (for users who does not use toe-braking equipment) was re-tuned to allow more fluent and gradual differential braking with rudder input.
- Analog engine display (overlay) in the G1000 PFD is now 'waiting' for the G1000 'Enter' push during its wake-up process.
- Front cockpit 3-d manipulators are not accessible when flying in the back-seat, to avoid overlapping interaction.
- Stall warning - 'wheels on ground' threshold increased to eliminate aural warning in some situations.
XP12 - v1.0c (31th March 2024):
- Main wheels ground-friction refinements.
- Minor tuneup for the free castoring tail-wheel to emulate the centering springs a bit more aggressively.
XP12 - v1.0a (30th March 2024):
- Fix to Toe-brakes animation coupling with the rudder.
XP12 - v1.0 (29th March 2024): Initial version release.
