November Update - New and Updated Aircraft Profiles

iFly 737 MAX Tui Airways interior

Greetings Pilots!

We are pleased to present the latest batch of new Aircraft Profiles for our Autopilot and Radio hardware, as well as updates to existing ones.

One of our new Autopilot profiles this month was user-contributed. We are always appreciate user contributions - the MobiFlight project itself is based on community collaboration and Circuit Avionics is no different - the more we work together the better the outcome for every pilot.

To get involved why not Join the Discord Server and learn how to customise how your hardware works!

Autopilot Profiles

New Profiles:
  • MSFS - iFly Boeing 737 MAX
    • Please note, at present, the IAS/MACH display is unavailable.
    • We have requested iFly make this important data available to hardware users. We are hopeful that in a future update, the IAS/MACH display will be available. This profile will be updated once it is released.
    • Note that the knob is still working and in the few flights we've completed, the aircraft was no less fun to fly!
  • X-Plane - FlightFactor Boeing 777
    • This profile was created and kindly shared by Ser Xav over on our Discord community

Updated Profiles:
  • MSFS - ATR 42-600 / 72-600
    • LONG PUSH - reduced time required from 1 second to 0.5 seconds

    • Added EFIS SYS controls to PUSH RANGE. Push the knob to switch between the various systems pages on the captin's MFD. LONG PUSH for 0.5 seconds to return to ND (Navigation Display) map mode 
  • MSFS - PMDG 737
    • Reduced the duration of all LONG PUSH controls from 1 second to 0.5 seconds
    • Altered the LONG PUSH functionality of the red AP DISENGAGE button to better align with the behaviour of other profiles
      • SHORT PUSH will disengage the Autopilot, as before. Repeat the action to silence the alarm and stop the AP P/RST annunciator from flashing
      • LONG PUSH (0.5 seconds) will disengage the Autothrottle. Repeat the action to stop the AT P/RST annunciator from flashing
    • The previous behaviour, where a long push would toggle the rarely-used AP Disengage bar, can still be selected on MobiFlight Input tab if desired

Radio Profiles

New Profiles:
  • MSFS - iFly Boeing 737 MAX

Optional Extras

Additionally, we added an optional configuration which adds functionality to the LEDs on the Honeycomb Bravo.
This includes the warning annunciator panel, and the red and green LEDs of the landing gear.

This isn't related to your Circuit Avionics hardware - but as it's run via MobiFlight we thought we'd share.

You can download this configuration from the PMDG 737 page on either the Autopilot or Radio profile.

What's Next?

The launch of FS2024 is imminent and we expect to be busy getting to grips with the new simulator. The plan is to make our hardware compatible with the vast majority of the aircraft that ship with the new sim.

We'll be available to chat on the Discord server and keep you all updated as we get familiar with FS2024.

Happy flying!
