Major Update 2.0 Changelog


Weather Radar

• Reworked the initial radar startup: added a custom first-sweep system so that weather appears gradually instead of displaying the entire sector at once. This compensates for an SDK limitation that prevents determining the current scanning beam position, which previously often caused the weather image to appear instantly after enabling WXR.
• Fixed the weather image drifting as the aircraft moves and periodically snapping back every 6 NM.
• Fixed weather image positioning during aircraft movement and turns. Also added proper handling of crossings of the 180th meridian in the Pacific Ocean: longitude changes from +179.9° to −179.9° no longer cause the image to jump.


Dual ND Operation

• If the second ND enables WXR during the first sweep, it picks up the current sweep phase instead of starting a separate scan.
• Turning WXR off and back on for either pilot's ND now displays weather immediately if WXR remains active on the other pilot's ND.


Controls

• Added a ~0.2-second delay when changing weather radar settings. Radar mode changes now appear on the ND with a slight delay for immersion, in accordance with the 757 family documentation.
• Short TEST button presses are now handled correctly, even if the button is released before the command is applied.
• Changed the initial positions of both TERR ND and WXR brightness knobs from 50% to 70%.


Terrain ND Fix

• Added brightness adjustment for the aircraft's default TERR display using the corresponding EFIS knob for each pilot.
• Fixed the old ND layer overlapping the new one after the beam passes when TERR brightness is reduced.
Installer and Updates
• Expanded compatibility: the installer now checks the required interfaces and rendering structure instead of requiring exact matches of function instructions, avoiding false incompatibility detections that would cancel installation.
• Direct updates from version 1.0 and intermediate versions are now supported without first uninstalling the mod.
