HISTORY

1.0.0.0     Release

1.0.0.3     Rev 248
- [Fixed] FMS: Added additional valdity checks for any fuel and time output to avoid potential CTDs due to buffer overflows*

1.0.1.1    Rev 278:
- [Fixed] FMS/FPLN: Flightplan loading via CoRoute entry
- [Fixed] HGS repositioned (FSX and P3D v3 models added)
- [Fixed] HGS repositioned (P3D v4 models only. P3D v3 and FSX/FSX-SE will follow soonÖ)
- [Added] Configuration Entry for the creation of minidump files. 
The configuration entry must be manually added to CRJ.cfg (CRJ_P3Dv4.cfg for P3D v4) like this:
[Debug]
CreateMinidumps=0
0 = Don't create any minidumps
1 = Create thread-related minidumps only
2 = Create thread- and process-related minidumps
Unless a user experiences crashes, CreateMinidumps should be set to 0
- [Fixed] Thrust reversers now open before reverse thrust is set (and only close after reverse thrust is back to idle)
- [Fixed] Some more improvement in NAV turn calculation. Still needs a bit of fine tuning due to some over- and undershoots.
  Unfortunately the official FAA formulas for turn radius and turn distance anticipation are not applicable as is. 
  Right now, the anticipated turn distance has to be multiplied by 1.35 to avoid a massive overshoot.
- [Fixed] Slightly increased the upper limit for throttle cruise range
- [Fixed] Improved FPV and FD in HGS

          and add the following line to the [Config] section: HGSFontScale=175 The value needs to be identical to the font scaling setting in Windows. 
          Default is therefore "100". I will add this to CRJ Manager for the next version.
