Thank you Jim.  Running the installer presents the option to repair or remove.  Repair?

Very underrated aircraft; unlike past Capt Sim offerings, this ones A/T and AP systems function flawlessly.  The SDK makes SPAD configs a breeze.  I picked it up 25 USD and consider it one of the best value purchased in a long time

Agreed. Plus muh Rain effects

The autopilot/autothrottle functions were not perfect in the previous version, although it appears (based on that FIXED list) that VNAP SPD mode might be working properly now. I am also curious to know if the "take off trim setting" problems have been corrected....

They were corrected in 1.3, I believe.  For me, this aircrafts automated systems are persistently reliable now.  Again, in my situation, that wasn’t always the case with other CS offerings. Also, they’re now listening to their customers and have added several requested features (e.g ability to load fuel/pax via FMC, V1/VR/V2 call outs, etc). The FDE still needs to be tweaked as I find it a little ‘loose’ on approach.  Otherwise, it’s a really good rendition of the 757 and I hope the carry the code forward to a 767.

Same here. I'm waiting for confirmation on this from the CS forum

They were definitely not corrected in 1.3, as that was the version that I tested.

Howdy:

Holding off the update.  Someone in the CS forum is reporting issues. 

Also, I too am waiting to confirm if this is a full or update only install.

CS communication is not the best.

It's a fun plane but god performance is awful for me.  Does anyone notice any improvement or is it still the same?

I didn't know this was possible with this plane? That's a pretty good feature.

[Riah069 157]

Its still a heavy frame rate hitter for me. FSLabs actually runs better lol.

It certainly is! I just wish that it’d give an indication of maximum amounts. I’m currently sort of guessing what loads to punch in, which can be a bit bothersome.
