XP12 - v3.0.2 (21st March 2026)

  • Updated documentation structure:
    • All project documentation transferred to the AEROS-2 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 - v3.0.1a (14th December 2025):

  • VHF COM1 radio frequencies display and tune-up issue fixed.

XP12 - v3.0.1 (23rd May 2024):

  • VR/Flight dynamics modifications:
    • Update to control bar management, allowing now to control the wing to its full extent without the use of trim (when flying in VR and simulating the control bar with the use of customized hang-glider Joystick rig, without trim switch). 
    • This update changed the wing neutral 'feel' in standard desktop Joystick usage, where more 'control bar pressure' is being sensed. However, manual wing-trim can be used continuously to relief the pressure.

XP12 - v3.0a (22nd May 2024):

  • Flight dynamics - Major update release:
    • Complete redesign of the wing-tilt/weight shifting system to fall in line with the latest X-Plane 12 aerodynamics and physics capabilities.
    • 'wind-force' on the control bar is being simulated more accurate.
    • Rotax 503 simulation tuneups.
    • Landing gears and ground operations tuneups.
    • Wing trim is now set to virtually pull/push the control-bar (keep in mind that trim direction is opposite, as the wing tilts down when pressing the trim-down assignment, resulting in reduction of AOA, and vice versa).
    • Fine tuning for engine parameters following the latest X-Plane 12 engine simulation physics.
  • Systems:
    • New dual-system altimeter.
    • Fuel tank gauge re-wired, re-calibrated.
  • Sounds:
    • New multi-layer Rotax 503 sounds.
    • New open-cockpit wind buffet and wind flow sounds.
    • Various all-around enhancements.
  • Interaction:
    • Improved Key switch command for VR and 2-d manupulators.
    • Improved 'headless' pilot interaction; head is hidden when the virtual camera is within close proximity to the pilot's head position.
  • Graphics:
    • PBR normals tuneup to fall in line with latest X-Plane 12 rendering updates.
    • Prop-disc animation tuneups.

XP12 - v2.2c (24th March 2024):

  • Bug fix - Passenger hide/show works properly now with the management of passenger weight in the GUI.

XP12 - v2.2a (19th January 2023):

  • FMOD sound improvements for the engine.
  • Bug fix - passenger visor still visible when the passenger is gone.
  • Bug fix - instruments appearance at night was buggy.

XP12 - v2.2 (4th December 2022):

  • Interior lighting system reset and retuned to comply with the modified X-Plane 12.00r1+ lighting engine.

XP12 - v2.1 (23th November 2022):

  • Updater software replaced - from STMA to SkunkCrafts. 

XP12 - v2.0 (September 2022):

  • X-Plane 12 intial version released.

XP11 - v1.07a (2nd July 2020):

  • AviTab smartphone visualization:
    • Now can be toggled (visibility) by using key assignment for 'Toggle seatbelt sign".

XP11 - v1.07c (9th April 2020):

  • Flight model tuneup:
    • Left toe brake axis is now affecting both brakes for *all-wheel-braking* while using a single brake pedal.  

XP11 - v1.07 - (29th October 2019):

  • Flight model tuneup:
    • Dynamic control bar resistance was added, to emulate the excessive forces on the control bar while flying in high-speed. As speed goes higher, control bar is getting "tougher", right until the point that if the Trike is flying leveled, a high-speed Vne dive could not be executed, as the wing forces will "win", while bringing the nose up.

XP11 - v1.05 - (27th October 2019):

  • Flight model tuneup:
    • Overall drag tuneup to match exact gliding ratio (to follow POH) with greater precision.
    • Dynamic bar operation envelope for more solid and stable flight, especially in the higher speeds. This has also fixed the tendency for tumbling when pulling the bar gradually during descent.
    • Various performance tune-ups. 

XP11 - v1.01 (4th October 2019):

  • Electrical wiring fix - DG is now working properly when starting cold and dark.

XP11 - v1.0 (3rd October 2019): Initial Version Release.
