Another small 747 update

[YukonPete 586]

I just noticed the PMDG operations center had another small 747 update. It wasn't there a few hours ago when I loaded the operations center.

An update was pushed the 23rd as far as I can see... It could very well be within the last couple of hours.

[Captain Kevin 586]

I saw it, but the change log hasn't indicated anything, so I don't know what changed.

[Orlaam 306]

Yeah FSX:SE had a 744 update too.  Was quick and no change log

I can see a change log in Operations Center

Weird, I don't have that.  Oh well.  I don't care as long as improvements are made.

I know the lighting stuff won't affect non-P3Dv4 users.

Unfortunately still nothing about thrust increasing in HOLD mode (I tested it to be sure). At this point I suppose that this is the hardest bug to fix ever encountered...

And there it is. I knew soon as I opened this thread that the local troll would be lurking.

If I told you that yes it's the hardest bug to fix ever encountered, will you shut up about it and go away?

LOL!

Was wondering too, how long it took before that was brought up... (again, again, again... and again... and...)

I knew it was only a matter of time before you showed up. Quite frankly, I'm not sure why you even bothered wasting your time testing it. All you had to do was look at the change log to be sure. If you're like me and the change log didn't show up for some reason, Daniel was kind enough to post it here. In any event, Kyle already told you repeatedly that this was not an easy bug to fix, so I'm not really sure why you keep harping on about it.

I just discovered something. FSX boxed version has a change log, FSX Steam version does not.

Dear Captain Kevin, since you keep saying this, please find one reply by Kyle or the developers where they clearly say that they are working at this issue *at present* and that it is not an easy issue to fix. If you find it, then I will shut up until the fix comes out, but if you don't find it (I repeat, it must be a *clear* statement that they are dealing with it but it's not easy, not just that they have it in their list and will deal with it no one knows when...), then please stop attacking my claims with useless replies. Thank you.

Right here:

Particularly the last line:

So, since I have stressed a number of times that this is being looked at and addressed, and this side banter is off topic, I'm closing this one down.

Here's another one from further back:

Quote

Nobody is punishing you. I keep pressing back because you're borderline badgering us to fix something that is taking some time to look into. Each time, I have noted that it is being looked into. This means that we have people on the team actively looking into, and attempting to fix, it.

 

[PMDG777 231]

Same post, even further back:

Quote

Bringing this up at every possible moment really isn't helping anything. You posted. We acknowledged it, and we acknowledged that we're looking into it.

Quote

As I mentioned earlier, though, each time you bring this up, one of us advises you that it has been acknowledged and is being worked on

 

[jgoggi 65]

Ok, the only statement that can be considered and that maybe I overlooked (sorry) is

" Each time, I have noted that it is being looked into. This means that we have people on the team actively looking into, and attempting to fix, it."

All the others are in the form "it's being looked at", but you know much better than I, that am not english mother tongue, that "it's being looked at" may be used in place of "it's going to be looked at", or "it will be looked at", so it may give the idea of something that is going to be checked in the future (I add that when I had a personal conversation with the guy who deals with this issue, he did not look so convinced that it was something to fix, anyway this was more than one month ago)...

Ok, I stop here, even if this does not mean that I can not ask for an update in the near future... Now I am bugged even more by those damn landing lights that drop my fps by half when switched on...
