-====== Early Access Changelog ======
+====== Aerofly Version Changelog ======
-Aerofly FS 2 is an Early Access (EA) title meaning that this application is still in development. Early Access titles allow for developers to release periodic updates to the public in an effort to provide valuable feedback back to the developers; allowing for the game community to participate throughout the development process.
+Aerofly FS 2 is still in development even after the official release. This changelog shows the progress made throughout development.
+Much focus was made to develop a solid core to build upon throughout Early Access, and this was achieved. Focus will now be put on adding features to the core engine of Aerofly.
-This also means that the application can have unidentified bugs and not be a complete game. It is expected of you to understand this prior to purchasing the application. There is also no full release deadline unless identified solely by the developers.
+===== Changelog =====
-During Early Access updates are released to present bug fixes and new features, these updates are mentioned in a changelog. Here is the Aerofly FS 2 changelog.
+==== 2017-11-23 ====
-===== Changelog =====

+==== 2017-10-04 ====
+   * Fixed rollover behavior for COM and NAV frequencies

+   * Changed unified click spot handling: three state switches work as before, left and right click to push and pull the switch, mouse wheel to rotate in a specific direction two state toggle switches now consistently have a left click toggle and no right click action and can be set to a certain direction with the mouse wheel just like three state switches
+   * Changed adjusted brake strengths, softened the response for small inputs
+   * Changed adjusted autobrake

+   * Fixed autopilot VNAV ALT is removed when at cruise altitude.
+   * Fixed localizer capture at very steep angles now turns correct direction
+   * Fixed A320 LAND mode now stays on display even if radar altitude increases again
+   * Changed ASG29 flap lever speed adjusted, now slowly moves from one to the next gate, has high speed when you move the input quickly

+   * Changed B747 improved yaw damper turn coordination
+   * Added B747 added outboard aileron lock out at high speeds with flaps up
+   * Added B747 added master warning and master caution lights and push button
+   * Changed B747 "FD" text and cross bars removed when onside flight director switch is off
+   * Changed B747 now accurate altitude alert logic
+   * Changed LJ45 course synchronization now uses direct to station if available (as real aircraft)
+   * Fixed LJ45 speed-tape on PFD values no longer pop in at the top
+   * Added A320 added RADIO NAV page of MCDU, this allows you to manually tune frequencies and override the auto-tuning
+   * Changed A320 tiller inoperative as long as autopilot is commanding steering in roll out phase. Disconnect autopilot to exit the runway.
+   * Changed A320 ND renders previous waypoint and current leg properly
+   * Changed A320 autopilot and autothrust masters work during LAND phase
+   * Changed A320 autopilot selected values can be changed when in LAND phase
+   * Changed A320 adjusted flight model: angle of attack lower in clean config, pitching moment adjusted
+   * Changed A320 accurate altitude alert logic
+   * Fixed A320 flashing values on the PFD now change their visibility in sync with the flashing
+   * Fixed A320 no longer commands full aileron when autopilot disconnects
+==== 2017-08-25 ====
