1.4.2020.0226 Release


Huge "Shout out" to derammo who was this release's primary contributor. 1.4.2020.0226 benefits from his many improvements and bugfixes.

  • BMS F-16 - Altimeter fixes Added altimeter pressure reading fix for _airPressureDrum.Value only can accept 4 digits Added Altimeter Calibration reading from FlightData2 Support barometric readings of altitude and pressure Use math.abs to get absolute value Read values from flightData2 to support barometric altitude and calibrated airpressure
