News Item: New Release of FSCaptain

 

Systems Unlimited is proud to announce the availability of another major

update to FSCaptain for FSX, Prepar3d, and FS2004 -- release 1.4. This

new version continues to upgrade FSCaptain towards a total package that

enhances Flight Simulators into Aviation Simulators. Included are a new and

more modern FMC-style ACARS device (the FCDU), more robust support for

virtual airlines, built-in support for the PMDG NGX, and a unique appeals

system for reversing career penalties. Plus several dozen bug fixes and

more minor enhancements and a new tutorial for FSCaptain pilots based on

the new FCDU.

 

FSCaptain 1.4 is available in a fully functional trial version (limited

only by the airports you can use as your departure point for flights.)

Please visit our website for more detailed information or to try it for

yourself: http://www.fscaptain.net.

 

A few of the New Features in 1.4:

 

* A new ACARS gauge named the "FCDU" (as opposed to the traditional FCOM)

can be installed and used anywhere the FCOM was used.

 

* The ability to enter all the details of a flight - no longer limited to

the destination airport - so as to be able to schedule a flight meeting

several external requirements, such as a VA flight or one from a printed

schedule.

 

* A new "Appeals" process that will allow Captains to selectively remove

penalties from flights in their logbook.

 

* A new updated tutorial using the new FCDU ACARS device is included in the

Documentation folder.

 

* When the aircraft is positioned at an airport and there are other

airports within a 5 mile radius, a new option on the FCOM/FCDU Pre-login

page will allow the pilot to select at which airport they are starting.

This will resolve most "wrong airport" conflicts.

 

* A new menu option and key combination will request that the last

statement said by your FO or FA be repeated.

 

* The Interface support for the PMDG 737NGX has been moved into the

FCOM/FCDU itself. It's no longer necessary to install a separate

interface into the PMDG panel.cfg.

 

* A wider selection of default airlines is provided containing updated

worldwide schedules for the FS9/X boxed airlines, plus a selection of major

real airlines from around the world.

 

* More enhancements large and small. The README file available on the

website details all of them.
