APP New Releases

New Features:
  • New Turn-Rate SEP and SEP Envelope chart types with KTS/s lines (acceleration) instead of ft/s lines are available
  • An experimental UI option is available for users with large screens: the mission result chart is displayed as a dockable pane
  • When creating/editing an aircraft model, a warning message is displayed alongside the data tables when a table factor is active
  • On error during mission computations, APP will jump to the segment list and select the segment where the error occurred
  • Added colored tabs for aircraft, mission computation and performance chart files
Download 7.0.3.0 Release Notes
New Features:
  • New mission segment Descent at no Credit (CAS)
  • Removed MTOW limit in LWF example aircraft
  • Removed “Save As” context menu item from charts as this crashed APP without warning on some machines
  • Fixed renaming range extender name so that it updates the name in the electric propeller datasets
  • Fixed tab order in the mission segment list
Download 7.0.2.0 Release Notes
New Features:
  • Generic electric propulsion (serial or parallel)
  • Pure electric propeller propulsion
  • Serial hybrid-electric propeller propulsion with separate generator dataset
  • Battery size defined by energy and mass or by energy density
  • New example aircraft: Do228NG with serial hybrid-electric propulsion
  • New mission solver: Solve for required trip fuel (take-off mass solver)
  • Faster than APP 6 (up to five times)
  • Compiled with the newest Visual Studio and C++ version
  • Guarantees Windows 10 support
  • ALR has made significant progress “under the hood” of APP to secure long-term maintainability of the APP code base
Download 7.0.1.0 Release Notes
New Features:
