FlightAssistant

This is a minor update to FlightAssistant. There are no breaking changes in this release.

Minecraft version limitations

Some features are only available on certain versions of Minecraft:

1.20.4, 1.20.3: All features are available
1.20.2: Cannot load flight plans created in version 2.0.0
1.20, 1.20.1: Cannot load flight plans created in version 2.0.0, elytra state protections are not available (Open Elytra automatically and Close Elytra automatically when submerged)

Additions

• Flight plans will now be saved and loaded as JSON instead of NBT
  • This allows the mod to run on Minecraft versions older than 1.20.3
  • Flight plans created in version 2.0.0 can be loaded in Minecraft versions 1.20.3 or higher, where they can be re-saved as JSON and loaded anywhere
• Added the UNLOADED CHUNK alert and protection
  • If the chunk where the player is currently located hasn't loaded in ~3 seconds, a warning will appear on the alert display
  • The radar altitude display will be hidden while in an unloaded chunk
  • Additionally, the player's pitch will automatically be corrected to preserve altitude and reduce ground speed

Changes

• Reduced the Minecraft version requirement to 1.20.0-1.20.4
• Allowed LAND mode to engage earlier
  • GPWS and flight mode display will be able to provide more relevant alerts during approach as a result of this change
• The landing minimums are now shown on the altitude tape
• The MINIMUMS callout is now only played once per landing
• Errors during flight plan loading will provide more useful information
• Options not available in the Config Screen will now appear switched off
• It is no longer to turn on Flight Directors, Auto-firework or Autopilot if the autoflight system has failed
• Reduced the speed at which Autopilot will try to reach a selected target altitude
• Changed the message that appears when Auto-Firework is armed but no target speed/altitude is set
• Reduced the frequency of firework activations when Auto-firework is engaged in FRWK CLB mode
• The GPWS now recoves faster and more reliably from terrain alerts

Fixes

• Fixed an issue that caused the Autopilot to lose altitude on approach
• Fixed an issue that would cause multiple system failures when the first waypoint would become the landing waypoint (#14)
• Fixed an issue that would cause an error to appear when loading a non-existant flight plan on versions 1.20.3+
• Fixed an issue that would trigger the FRWK NO RESPONSE alert when paused in singleplayer
• Fixed an issue that would suppress terrain alerts earlier during landing than expected
