Patches

Wilco Publishing has released update 1.1 for their Tower Simulator standalone product.

Bizarre as it may seem, you can only see a list of changes by registering on the forum! Why they don’t make it public knowledge, I don’t know. I’d have thought they would want potential customers (and existing ones) to know what they had improved.

I’ve tried signing up for the forum, but I’m still waiting for my confirmation. As soon as I get it (if!), I’ll post the changes.

You may be interested in our original post on the release here, as it has a number of comments from customers.

AlphaSim has updated their Cessna 170B to version 1.1.

This new download includes an all-new custom gauges set, courtesy of Russell Howard.

Download the new Zip by logging into your personal download area in the Shop (the ‘My Downloads’ icon’) and access the Cessna 170B download page by clicking a download link in your Recent Purchases section. This will use up a download, so just mail us if you need more or would just like to have it reset. Please include your order number in the e-mail. Use the new Zip to overwrite all the original files.

Aerosoft have released an update for their Hughes H-1B.

We just updated the H1 racer aircraft. This small update to version 1.01 changes a few things in the flight model to make pitch stability a bit more predictable (it remains a difficult aircraft to fly though). Also the extended failure model has been worked at so it creates more realistic failures. To understand them better a special status display is made so when you got a problem you can now see what the problem is. Get the update from the FAQs / Support section. The full version is now also updated to 1.01.

You can purchase the Hughes H-1B from the FlightSim Pilot Shop.

Commercial Level Simulations has realeased Service Pack 1 for their 747:

CLS is pleased to announce the release of Service pack 1 for the Boeing 747-200/300 product. The service pack is available at the CLS “downloads” section on http://www.commerciallevel.com/. We have updated the main package as well, so for new customers the service pack is already included!

Just Flight have released an update for their popular Tiger Moth. You can read a review of the Tiger Moth here.

An update for the Tiger Moth (DVD-ROM and Download) is now available.

This contains several fixes and also updates the FSX version for full SP2/Acceleration compatibility. This update is cumulative and includes all previously available updates in addition to the new files.

The update files are available here, along with installation instructions. Note that there is a one file for FS2004 users and one for those who are flying Tiger Moth in FSX.

People who have brought any of the additional Tiger Moth packs (Float Plane Pack, Ski Plane Pack or the combined  Float & Ski Plane Double Pack) simply need to re-download and install the files again from here. This will fully update the aircraft and you will not need to install the update as you would if you just had the standard Tiger Moth package.

(The Download files have been updated, so anyone buying the Download version of Tiger Moth from now on will have the up-to-date version. Anyone buying the DVD-ROM from this date forwards will still need to download and install the update.)
