I have uploaded a new version of the MGL G2 system to the usual G2 update page on www.MGLAvionics.co.za

-----------------------------------------
1.0.1.4 - 14 October 2010 13th release update. Simulator and Binary
Added: Virtual AOA mode. Uses inputs from GPS, TAS, VSI and AHRS to calculate AOA valid for non and low banked attitudes (up to about +/-30 degrees). Calibration flight required similar to Differential AOA mode.
Added: Divert mode (NAV menu). Allows temporary suspension of active nav switching to heading bug until Divert canceled or new active nav source chosen. Coupled ARINC autopilot or internal autopilot follows Divert.
Added: Special text items: Total fuel flow and Total fuel level based on selection in "Range and edurance setup" in "Fuel related setup".
Added: Direction arrows for all waypoint selection tools, editors and viewers.
Added: Live updates of direction arrows and distances in all waypoint selection tools, editors and viewers. Please note: Sort order of waypoints will be "frozen" as long as selector/editor/viewer is open to avoid order changing as you select an item.
Added: ARINC Autopilot steering mode selection: Absolute and Relative. Absolute mode means that steering labels are interpreted as "left/right, up/down". Relative mode means that steering labels are interpreted as "bank left/light, pitch up/down" relative to current attitude from AHRS. Some external ARINC AP may prefer the one type over the other. This is experimental. Feedback appreciated.
Added: New navigation option for HSI (select under "Setup navigation"). For GPS waypoint navigation the arrow in the HSI points to the waypoint (normal operation). The new option allows the arrow to be locked to the GPS OBS setting (this defaults to the track heading on waypoint selection but can be changed if you would like a different approach angle to the waypoint by using the GPS OBS setting).
Fixed: Interactive Flight plan tool map waypoint icons where not enabled/suppressed based on declutter selections (SHIFT+5).
Live Flight plan function updated:
Added magnetic course/bearing to existing true course/bearing
Added ability to select next waypoint in live flight plan using left/right arrow keys.
Changed: Proceeding to end of route (flight plan) will not cancel route anymore, route remains active. Routes can now only be canceled by menu level 1 function.
Removed "Divert" icon from Live Flight plan (Divert now part of NAV menu).
Replaced: "0" button nearest airport function and related functions:
If navigation setup "0 key selects airport info (active goto)" then
If Waypoint active (Route not active) and waypoint is airport will show airport information for this waypoint (Search order Secondary then Primary Navidata) with option to select "nearest airports"
If route is active will show Live Flightplan with option to select "nearest airports"
If none of the above is true will show "nearest airports" with new selection screen.
