Providing feedback

Feedback about this release and the mod in general can be given either on the GitHub issue tracker or in the Discord server. All feedback is appreciated as long as it's not destructive. Knowing what exactly users want is crucial in allowing me to improve the mod in each update. Thank you!

Breaking changes

Unloaded chunk protection mode has been replaced

Setting the option to "Soft" or "Hard" didn't make a difference, so it was instead replaced with a tickbox option Preserve altitude in unloaded chunks. If you previously disabled this protection, make sure to disable the new option as well.

Additions

API for Mod Developers

FlightAssistant 2.2.0 provides an API for mod developers to register their own computers, displays and alerts. For this purpose, the following events have been provided:

• CustomHudDisplayRegistrationCallback (Register displays with HudDisplayRegistry.register in this event)
• CustomComputerRegistrationCallback (Register computers with ComputerRegistry.register in this event)
• CustomAlertRegistrationCallback (Register alerts with AlertRegistry.register in this event)

Alert F/CTL ALTN LAW (PROT LOST)

This alert will be displayed when one of the protection systems fails (this will usually be followed by a forced disconnection of Auto-firework and Autopilot, if enabled). This alert is part of the computer fault alert group

Changes

Flight Phase Display

When using a flight plan, the STATUS display will show the current flight phase. The possible values are: ON GROUND, TAKEOFF, CLIMB, CRUISE, DESCENT, APPROACH, LAND, GO AROUND

Enhanced Autopilot

The autopilot now has more logic for controlling pitch in various scenarios. You should expect the following changes:

• Autopilot should now use climb pitch (55* UP) for takeoffs and go-arounds
• Autopilot should now use a different pitch angle when holding altitude to drastically reduce firework usage with A/FRWK on
• Autopilot should now level off smoother
• Autopilot should now perform a go-around when rejecting an autoland instead of circling around the destination infinitely

AUTOPILOT OFF and AUTO-FIREWORK OFF are now hidden for their first trigger

These alerts were a nuisance for the first time they appear. Now, they will only appear after the user turns AP and A/FRWK off themselves
