The outside will get some extra polish between now and the discharge, primarily adjusting the shading. We may also attempt to add some cool new issues to it, however extra on that if we make it.
Plane methods are full apart from 3-4 minor gadgets. Of these, the ITT simulation has been one of the vital tough options to implement.
The plane can be ITT restricted after, 12000ft, which means you’ll have to regularly energy again to keep away from exceeding 760 °C.
Residual ITT has been refined because the Kodiak and can drop quicker within the air. Dry-motoring the engine with the inertial separator closed will make ITT drop quicker, as all of the air will now be directed into the engine, pushing the recent air out of the exhausts. Lastly, the double ITT spike on startup lastly appears to work.
Avionics are additionally of their closing phases. All the performance is now in-built, and subsequent week can be spent refining the final recognized bugs and correcting the EFIS coloration.
