Another week, another step forward for the TriStar Airliner. Version 1.0.4 is another great update, delivering a broad range of fixes alongside several exciting new additions, all driven by your continued feedback from the community.

This update addresses critical stability issues including instrument freezes on the Captain's side, spoiler deployment logic, and a number of INS-related fixes including drift modelling, track accuracy, and display improvements. The PMS has also received significant attention, with dynamic fuel integration, corrected Opt Alt calculations, and formatting fixes across multiple pages.

On top of the fixes, V1.0.4 introduces Fuel Jettison, an enroute map path display, dynamic fuel on PMS pages, and several PFB quality-of-life additions including map dragging, a SYNC button for the Landing Performance Calculator, and a rudder/tiller toggle option.

As always, thank you for your patience and continued support, more improvements are already on the way. Enjoy the TriStar! ✈️

Following last week’s V1.0.2 release, we’ve continued refining the TriStar Airliner with another focused update based off of community feedback. Version 1.0.3 brings a wide range of fixes across core systems, improving overall stability and day-to-day usability.

This update includes key fixes to autopilot/AFCS behaviour, INS navigation logic, fuel and electrical systems, engine operation, and various cockpit interactions and bindings. Flight handling has also been improved with smoother pitch trim, refined autothrottle behaviour, and more accurate climb performance.

Additional fixes have been applied across visuals, PFB usability, and sounds, with corrected callouts and improved audio consistency for a more immersive experience.

As always, we appreciate the continued feedback, more improvements are already on the way. Enjoy the TriStar Airliner! ✈️

This is the first update for the TriStar Airliner! Following the incredible response since release, we want to say a huge thank you for all the support and feedback so far. Version 1.0.1 focuses on refinement, stability, and improving the overall experience across the aircraft. The update brings a wide range of fixes to core systems, including improvements to autopilot and flight director behaviour, VNAV/PMS performance, ILS logic, and engine/pressurisation systems. Numerous cockpit interactions and annunciations have been corrected, alongside better handling of spoilers, autobrake, and environmental systems for more consistent operation.

On the visual side, this update refines cockpit and exterior details with fixes to animations, lighting, weathering, and multiple livery corrections, as well as the addition of interactive elements like operable lavatory doors. The PFB has also been improved with better brightness control, more accurate takeoff data handling, and added functionality, while the sound environment sees further polish with corrected callouts and improved behaviour.

As always, we’ll continue to monitor feedback closely, so please keep it coming!
