- CitDuo: PFD + MFD side-by-side on one tablet screen (new 'PFD+MFD' tab,
first in the Citation profile) — the two pilot DU-870 tubes at once.
- Autopilot restyled to the real Primus FGC: machined dark bezel w/ corner
screws, engraved square keys with green annunciator triangles (lit when
active), ridged pitch thumbwheel.
- FMS more complete per the FMS manual: DEP/ARR now does the two-step
procedure→transition pick (NO TRANS / RWxx / named transitions), VNAV split
into CLB/CRZ/DES pages (trans-alt, speed/alt limits, cruise alt, target
speed, VPA) via PREV/NEXT, and a new PROG page (TO/DEST distance-to-go + ETE
at GS). Page keys: FPLN/LEGS/DEP-ARR/DIR-INTC/VNAV/PROG/MENU.
- Fluidity: Citation PFD/MFD/EICAS now use the same rAF time-constant easing as
the G1000 (useEased/useEasedAngle) for attitude, speed/alt/VS tapes, HSI,
compass, map ownship and N1/ITT gauges — smooth 60 fps instead of stepping.

Expands the single-page CDU into a Collins/Boeing-style FMS per the X-Plane FMS
manual: FPLN (origin/dest/flt-no), LEGS (waypoints, insert/delete/activate),
DEP/ARR (SID/STAR/approach from the CIFP parser, with transitions), DIR
(direct-to), VNAV (cruise/target-speed/path-angle; VPA feeds the shared descent
profile), and MENU (load/store .fms). Page keys + scratchpad + LSKs + keypad.
All edits flow through the shared flight plan, which fms-sync.lua mirrors two-way
into the in-sim FMS — so the app CDU and the aircraft CDU stay synchronized
(no new Lua needed; reuses the existing sync + procedures.js).

MENU (bezel hard key) now opens a G1000-style PAGE MENU (Invert / Store / Delete
flight plan) instead of only mirroring the sim command. HRZN HDG draws heading
reference marks (N/E/S/W + ticks) along the attitude horizon, toggled from the
PFD submenu. With TRAFFIC/NEXRAD/PROFILE/PATHWAY/APTSIGNS already wired, every
softkey now does something; only ENT remains a pure sim-command mirror.

The PROFILE softkey was dead. Now it overlays a vertical profile at the bottom of
the MFD map: own aircraft at the left, upcoming waypoints with their target
altitudes, the magenta planned descent path, and an altitude grid — pure geometry
from the active flight plan + current altitude.

The TRAFFIC and NEXRAD map keys were dead. Now: TRAFFIC draws TCAS diamonds
(threat-coloured other/proximate/TA/RA, relative altitude + climb/descend arrow);
NEXRAD draws green/yellow/red precip cells. Both toggle from the MAP softkeys and
light when active. Driven by values.traffic / values.wxCells, which the demo
synthesizes so they're demonstrable; the live-sim binding (TCAS/weather datarefs)
is the part that still needs a sim session to wire+verify.

Line-by-line control audit. APController (the MFD left-bezel autopilot mode
controller) still decoded the unreliable autopilot_state bitfield — the same bug
already fixed in AutopilotPanel and KAP140, missed in the third AP UI. Now reads
per-mode *_status datarefs so every mode key lights correctly.
PATHWAY and APTSIGNS softkeys were dead (sim-mirror only). PATHWAY now draws the
flight-plan route on the synthetic-vision terrain; APTSIGNS toggles the runway
labels. Threaded via App svtOpts → PFD → SVT.

D — NRST page: each nearest entry can now load its tower/CTAF into COM1 standby
(→COM) or a VOR into NAV1 standby (→NAV), and fly Direct-To it (D→). Nearest now
takes xp; com/nav standby datarefs made writable.
C — Direct-To with VNAV descent: the DTO dialog's ALT (MSL/AGL) and OFFSET fields
are now editable; entering an altitude makes the target a designated VNAV fix
(alt+dsgn) and arms VNAV, so the descent profile + PFD chevrons compute.
B — VNAV control: shared vnav config (enabled/fpa/offsetNm) threaded to PFD +
FplPage. The CURRENT VNV PROFILE panel gains ENBL/CNCL VNV, FPA ±, along-track
ATK ± and VNV-D→ keys; the profile + PFD chevrons honour the chosen FPA/offset
and hide when cancelled.

A — Fuel totalizer (SYSTEM key, renamed from ENGINE): DEC/INC/RST FUEL had no
handler. Now adjust the fuel_totalizer_sum_kg dataref (±1 gal, RST→max fuel) and
the EIS shows the calculated remaining/used. cdiSrc-style writable + demo echo.
E — AIRWAYS: was a single on/off. earth_awy.dat field 8 (airway layer) is now
parsed (1=Victor/low, 2=Jet/high; name-prefix fallback), the bbox returns it, and
the AIRWAYS softkey cycles off→all→Victor→Jet with an AIRWY-LO/-HI label.
F — CURRENT VNV PROFILE now shows TIME TO BOD (bottom of descent) once past the
top of descent, instead of only TIME TO TOD.

PROC menu actions were empty stubs. Now: procedures.js tags approach legs with
seg ('approach'|'missed' — everything past the runway threshold = missed,
previously dropped); Proc.jsx flags loaded legs appr/missed (preserved by
flightplan.setPlan) and the ACTIVATE APPROACH / MISSED APPROACH / VECTOR-TO-FINAL
items set the active (magenta) leg to the matching segment, with a hint when
nothing is loaded. Missed legs shown dimmed in the preview.
DCLTR-2 now hides the airspace (SUA) overlay, matching the manual (p.56), in
addition to the existing nav-symbol declutter.

The CDI softkey was in the PFD root row but had no handler — it never cycled the
HSI/CDI source (GPS↔VLOC1↔VLOC2). Wire it to write cdiSrc
(HSI_source_select_pilot, now writable), cycling GPS→NAV1→NAV2.
Also fix a latent demo bug: the 'needs a live sim socket' guard sat above the
setDataref/command handlers, so in DEMO (no sim socket) every dataref write
(transponder code, baro, AP bugs, CDI) was silently dropped. Reflect writes
locally before that guard so cockpit controls respond without a sim.

The steam-panel KAP140 LCD decoded the same unreliable autopilot_state bitfield
as the G1000 panel, so its lateral/vertical annunciation could be wrong. Read the
*_status datarefs instead, consistent with AutopilotPanel and the PFD.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Key feedback came from decoding the autopilot_state bitfield, whose bit
positions don't reliably match X-Plane (e.g. bit 0 is auto-throttle, not the
flight director), so several keys (FD/NAV/APR/BC/VS/VNV/FLC) never lit even when
the mode was engaged. Read the dedicated *_status datarefs (off/armed/active) —
the same source the PFD AFCS bar uses — so every key and the lateral/vertical
annunciator reflect the real mode. NAV also lights on GPS-coupled (gpss) mode.

The 3D terrain showed almost no sky — the horizon sat far above the attitude
horizon line. Base camera pitch was 72°, but with MapLibre's 36.87° vertical FOV
the flat horizon only reaches the attitude line (28% of the SVT box) at ~82°.
Invert the perspective to derive the camera pitch from aircraft pitch so the
synthetic horizon lands exactly on the attitude horizon and tracks it 1:1
(accounting for the 1.5× canvas scale). Raise maxPitch to 85.

FlyWithLua auto-install: bridge drops fms-sync/ui-sync/terrain-probe into
X-Plane's FlyWithLua Scripts dir on startup and self-updates (content-compare).
Graceful when no X-Plane / no FlyWithLua. /api/lua/install + status in health.
Desktop app bundles the scripts and passes LUA_SRC_DIR to the sidecar.
Smoothing: shared useEased/useEasedAngle hook (api/ease.js) with render-bail on
settle. VFR steam gauges now interpolate to 60fps instead of stepping at the
~10Hz value stream. MFD ownship no longer vibrates — position/heading eased in a
single rAF loop, follow-pan without animated-panTo pile-up (pauses on range zoom).
Airspace overlay: server/airspace.js loads per-region GeoJSON, classifies
(B/C/D/TMA/CTR/MOA/Restricted/Prohibited/Danger), bbox query, and downloads
regions on demand — FAA (US, key-free) and OpenAIP (Europe, user key). New
AIRSPACE softkey draws chart-coloured boundaries (B blue, C magenta, D dashed),
non-interactive so map-clicks still drop waypoints. Launcher gains a "Lufträume"
section to pick/download regions via the running bridge.

- electrical readout now shows M (main) and E (essential) bus volts from
bus_volts[0]/[1], M (alternator generator_amps) and S (battery_amps) separately,
and ENG hours from flight time — replacing the hardcoded duplicate volts / +0.0
amps / 0.0 HRS placeholders (manual S.54 C172 layout)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- PFD VNAV: magenta flight-plan target altitude on the alt scale (S.110), V DEV
deviation scale + chevron (left, shown in VNAV when not on an ILS), VS TGT
chevron on the VSI (S.113)
- GPS phase annunciation is now dynamic: APR (approach leg) / TERM (<30 nm to
destination) / ENR, instead of a fixed label
- flight-plan ALT can be toggled designated(blue) <-> reference(white) by clicking
the cell (S.106); only designated altitudes drive the VNAV profile
- setPlan now preserves the dsgn/appr waypoint flags across the shared plan
- AFCS vertical mode labelled VPTH (manual) instead of VNV
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- CURRENT VNV PROFILE panel on the MFD flight-plan page: active VNV waypoint +
target altitude, VS TGT (−3° path), VS REQ, V DEV, FPA, TIME TO TOD (manual
S.64 / S.107)
- enriched the VNAV computation (vsTgt / vDev / FPA / time-to-TOD) shared by the
PFD VnavBox
- flight-plan ALT column now shows designated (VNAV) altitudes in blue (S.105)
- new Audio Panel + earlier manual-alignment batch already in this branch
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Aligned to the official X-Plane 1000 manual:
- NAV radio: active RIGHT / standby LEFT (boxed) per S.12 (COM already correct)
- ALT UNIT softkey (IN / HPA) in the PFD submenu, baro readout converts (S.20)
- DCLTR cycles 3 levels (land / +NDB / flight-plan only) with DCLTR-n label (S.56)
- TOPO and TERRAIN are now independent toggles (relief vs awareness overlay) (S.57)
- Barometric MINIMUMS: BARO MIN bug + readout on the altimeter, amber "MINIMUMS"
annunciation at/below the decision altitude; set via TMR/REF (lifted to App)
- OBS mode: HSI course follows the CRS knob (magenta "OBS"), sequencing suspended
- New Audio Panel tab (COM mic/receive, MKR/DME/ADF, intercom, Display Backup) (S.91)
