On a post at the x-plane.org's forums, Fred spills the beans on everything they have workd on for this version. There are a lot of changes, including some amazing flight model ones, as well as VR support.
Check it out:
Bell 407 for X-Plane 11.10 / 11.20 VR1
Version 1.02
VR
- Added hotspots for all seats
- Added cyclic and collective manipulators
- Improved some manipulators axis to give an intuitive and natural movement
- Changed knob manipulators to made possible to spin them with touch controllers
****** SmartMenu still not working on VR! It's not possible to draw or interact with plugins on VR at moment, we need to wait for further VR updates from Laminar ******
Graphics
- Improved basket objects so they work correctly with fog
- Fixed missing shadow for Ext_5 object
- Airspeed gauge now can go above 140kts (max 165kts)
- Added missing nav light ball mesh on right side (repaints need to fix the missing texture detail)
Engine:
- Refined turbine TRQ, MGT and NG values
- FADEC now modulate the fuel in order to keep MGT below max during startup
Flight model:
- New airfoils for Main and Tail Rotor
- Improved vertical fin incidence angle & airfoil
- Improved horizontal stabilizer incidence angle & airfoil, this results in a higher fwd cyclic requirement on cruise like real helicopter
- Fixed MR lateral cant angle
- MR Flap hinge is now set to correct position acordingly to maintenance manual
- Plugin tweak for below ETL taxing, helicopter should maintain the altitude at very low airspeeds
- Plugin driven TFE (Transverse Flow Effect)
- Improved TR min/max pitches for more realistic pedal hover and flight conditions
- Corrected MR blade chord size incorrectly set based on feet unit
- Added MR blade twist
- Repositioned all flight elements arms with precision acordingly to maintenance manual
- Adjusted aft and fwd CG limits
SmartMenu:
- Added Flight-Model Enhancements (ETL, TFE and Landing Gear friction)
- Added option to remove doors
- Removed interaction distance limit
HeliSAS:
- Controls now transition from normal to stabilized, no more abrupt changes when turning on/off
* SAS light will flash during transition to warn pilot, during this time avoid enabling any SAS feature like heading hold or vertical speed hold
* Transition time is available on global.cfg file, default = 5 seconds
- Improved PID values from vertical speed hold
- Increased altitude hold authority
- HeliSAS now disables if a hydraulic failure is identified
- Frahm damper dynamics are now disabled for hydraulic failure
Others:
- Garmin power is now automatically set to ON during aircraft load with engines running
- Fixed ON / OFF commands incorrectly acting as a toggle
Sound:
- Increased gain and added blade slap volume slider back
