Props to TFDi.  The 717 has come a long, long, long ways since it’s first release.  Definitely one of the premier addons available.

Is fresh install recommended?

The TFDI mamager will take care of everything. Just run it, and your good to go.

I love this 717 and now I'm sure I'll love it even more.  Like was said, it has come a long way since it was released and the developers are so passionate about continuing to improve it. 

I believe TFDi has been and is such a wonderful asset to the flight sim community.  I just don't know how else to say it.  

I love their aircraft, their passion and their sincerity.

They mentioned at FSExpo that this might come on this day. Pretty clever to release the 717 on 7/17.

I bought this day one but hangared it a few days later due to the numerous issues on release.  I started flying it again after the last big Open-Beta update in May and this has been my favorite aircraft to fly lately!  What a great flyer and the new model is one of the best I have seen.  The details of the aluminum texturing is unlike anything I have seen so far on any other aircraft.  I can highly recommend this one to anyone looking for a fantastic short-hauler....especially if you like to fly Delta routes!  Nicely done TFDI!
