Level-D Simulations have released Service Pack 1 for the Flight Simulator X version of their 767-300ER. I’m downloading this now and hopefully it will address the issues in this, my favourite “heavy” for Flight Simulator:
Service Pack 1 for the FSX version is now available. It is recommended for all users. Please click the link below to download. You can also use the Check for Updates feature in your Flight One Software\Level-D 767-300 for FSX menu. If you have the Engravity FMC hardware, also download the supplemental FMC update and install it after you install SP1
Click here to download Sevice Pack 1 (26.6 MB)
For Engravity FMC users - Supplimental Update (1 MB) - Install to your FSX Gauges\LVLD folder.
The following is a list of the updates/fixes:
Here are the changes in this update (also see the Manual Addendum installed to your Level-D 767-300 for FSX menu).
FMC
- FIXED descent path wrong when a conditional waypoint was the end of idle descent.
- FIXED AT was not holding speed in VNAV PATH approach submode.
- FIXED descent restriction alt wasn’t being considered in some cases.
- FIXED hard alt restrictions on runway extension points caused incorrect descent profile.
- FIXED consecutive duplicate alt restrictions would caused incorrect prediction of T/D.
- FIXED all waypoints were sometimes wiped out when selecting rwy then star.
- FIXED MCP alt can now be set above aircraft alt when in VNAV Approach mode. (enables setting of missed approach altitude during a VNAV approach)
MISC
- FIXED clock chrono timer incorrectly restored with situation.
- FIXED Speed trend vector sometimes inop.
- FIXED issues with the Level-D menu items display.
- CHANGED the “please wait while engines start …” textbox by an FS-style line text.
- CHANGED Engravity driver removed from standard gauge. Engravity users must now download alternate gauge from website.
- CHANGED the ground request menu has been replaced by an FSX ATC-style dialog box.
- NEW GPWS Glideslope audible warning rate modified based on altitude.
- NEW a new dialog box for importing the proposed fuel from the 767 Configuration Manager Load Sheet has been added.
MODEL
[Exterior]
- FIXED engine fan animation (Since fan animation is always idle).
- FIXED spoilers deploy timing when touch down (Previous mdl’s spoiler deploy when aircraft is bit floating).
- FIXED deleted antennas shadow on the fuselage because SATcom anttena shadow will appear on the no satcom model fuselage.
- CHANGED LVLD_strobe.fx to avoid double flash of the default strobe effect.
- NEW nosewheel movement synced with fs2crew tiller.
[Interior]
- FIXED daytime overhead illumination resolution and brightness.

Hey Mark, I think you said that you had a LDS767 for FSX review in the pipeline, is this true and when can we expect it? This was probably one of the top 3 models of all time for FS9 so there has to be a lot of interest in how it performs under FSX.

The reviews on my list to get done. I’ll hopefully make a start on it this weekend.
