I just downloaded the product again but i still get the 1.0.3 release 

“You should receive the upgrade email from simMarket within the next 24 hours.”

Quoted from the original post. I don’t think it’s available yet.

The engines on the md80 are notoriously slow to respond.

Just received my email. The update is on SimMarket.

Meekg (sorry Jim ),

Any chance of providing update packages instead of having to uninstall/reinstall every time there is an update? Or an integrated updater? Not a huge deal - just a nicety.  Thanks.

Since I posted this, I'm a bit confused. The forum post here says you can install overtop of the original installation. However, the instructions on how to upgrade link in the first post says to deactivate/uninstall/reinstall/reactivate. Simmarket email just says to uninstall/reinstall. I'm probably overthinking this but can you clear it up for me? Thanks.

Wrong addressee. And further questions.

Hello. I received 1 hour ago an email from Simmarket to inform me about an update of the Maddog. So I download it BUT the name of the file is "Install_Fly_The_Maddog_X_64bit_edition_1.0.3.exe" not 1.04 ?

 

Edit: redownload it again and now it's 1.04

Great update. My Load Manager is still very small. Am I missing something to get it larger??

Thanks for any suggestions.

To be honest it was not our intention to release continuous/frequent updates/installers.

We used it as a quick way to address the "major" bugs discovered by users and we took this opportunity to throw in a couple of things that were developed/improved in the meantime.

Ideally, if things are smooth and everyone is able to fly the Maddog X, you won't hear from us until SP1, which will be a pretty big expansion to this first release, including at least the shared cockpit functionality together with a failures controller/panel in order to enhance the use of failures, creating scenarios just like you do in level D simulator.

Between the current release and SP1 we will update only if we consider the updates necessary or of big relevance.

We might consider, when reworking the Load Manager to find a more user friendly way to push updates, but in all honesty we never spoke about it yet.

I'll make a point to have this option evaluated.

Regards

Thanks, Michele. I'm really enjoying learning this aircraft.

No, we are not using you as betatesters

Updates are required and appreciated, no release ever is perfect. No need to apologize =)

We are finalizing release 1.0.4, which addresses the last few major cases of CTD and includes a few changes suggested by you.
No, we are not using you as betatesters as some of our critics suggested; we simply addressed all the issues that you reported as fast as we could and we tried to include your suggestions which we though were more relevant.

You should receive the upgrade email from simMarket within the next 24 hours.

CHANGELOG:
- Fixed random CTD selecting a DIR INTC in the FMS.
- Fixed random CTD selecting SID/STAR in the FMS.
- Fixed missing waypoints on FMS.
- Fixed jetway not attaching correctly to the main exit door.
- Fixed issue when defining ’toggle’ custom keyboard/joystick events.
- Fixed minor issues on external model’s attach points and texture mapping. 
- Increased the size of the Load Manager UI for 4K res desktops.
- Improved LNAV and LOC tracking.
 

Please follow the instructions on how to upgrade.

Hi Michele:

Just wondered if you had any remarks on my question on any plans for further refining of the brakes?

Thanks and best regards

Rick
