Just loaded up the -800 after installing SP1b, departure and arrival runways from FSBUILD exported flightplan seems to still have been recognized. Is this correct behavior?

Some of my PPT's are now identified as "PMDG house livery" and can't be recovered :(Luckily I have backups, but still. Don't know what could have gone wrong. At first I though it was the ones built pre SP1, but no, some of the old ones work

It's funny any new update that comes out is met with skepticism and negativity...I think every update you make further elevates the product, you continually expand the product with corrections, edits and tweaks that still surprises and delights me!Great work PMDG!

Does this mean the Loading Panel State... glitch is fixed? I get that every time I start up my NGX and select CLD&DRK. It says Loading Panel State... even after the "initialization" is done (green bar). To fix this, I have to open the 2D FMC (Shift + 3) and then close it.

I got the same here. I load the NGX DEFAULT panel state.

Wow this list is really impressive. This proves that even after SP1, the NGX is still not perfect. But now, after SP1B, it almost can't get anymore perfect than this!I actually recognized quite a lot of problems/issues in the fixed list, like:G/S not arming. I had this sometimes when doing touch and gosWrong LNAV path calculation on long LNAV segments. I I had this issue when I wasn't using realistic flightplans, but just flying from SID to STAR. Now it's fixed but at the moment I'm using real routes anyway.Plan mode available before IRS alignment.VNAV correcting too fast.Flight controls deflections not looking so big.Happy that this has been fixed now. :(

4) You will need to reinstall liveries after this update. We have improved the livery installer, however so it is not necessary to worry about uninstalling the liveries first. When you run the updated livery installer, it will prompt you for permission to delete outdated livery texture directories. (say yes!) Then just reinstall the liveries as before and you will be back to normal ops!As reported by others, the Livery Manager didn't ask about deleting liveries. In fact it didn't delete them. I deleted them manually. Now when I run Livery Manager to re-install them it crashes with a Microsoft Windows Msg: "PMDG_Livery Manager.exe has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly." etcAny ideas?Many Thanks for a great product btwJack Peoples

If you downloaded them after sp1 was released they will work fine with sp1b

No I downloaded them when the 737 was first released. I guess I need to re-download them. They do work fine with SP1
