Community Update 7 "Cold & Dark" Now Live
July has been pretty hectic in the office, with a string of exciting updates for simmers to sink their teeth into. Last week we introduced passengers to Flight Sim World, and this week we're bringing Cold/Dark starts into FSW.
The Cold/Dark updates features a checklist that highlights the levers, buttons and switches you need to press in order to start each aircraft in Flight Sim World. Experts can enable the advanced mode to remove any assistance, get themselves prepped up and then taxi onto the runway.
They'll be another exciting announcement next week, so try and keep your heads out of the clouds, but until then we've got a number of other changes so read on below:
Cold and Dark Feature
Start-up checklists across all launch aircraft to assist in Cold/Dark functionality
Toggle advanced mode to go through the checklist yourself. Uncheck advanced mode to be walked through the cold and dark start process with camera zoom and highlighted switches & gauges (ideal for new simmers)
You can now choose your spawn location in Free Flight (parking spaces, runways, etc)
KNOWN BUG: With the introduction of Cold and Dark, we have discovered an issue which affects the PA-46 and the DA40 checklists: If you have auto mixture disabled, you will not be able to start the engine in Assisted Mode.
To work around this issue, please make sure auto mixture is enabled in order to complete the Cold and Dark checklist in Assisted Mode. You can find the auto mixture switch in the Settings Menu under Realism. We'll provide a fix in a future update, thanks for understanding!
