I'm wondering if it means they're waiting on another hotfix to push the Mooney update.

Yep, Jayne just posted this in the forums.

Update: We checked with the Marketplace team and what you are currently reading is a bug we have noted. There is an update for some 3rd party content coming out today but isn’t out quite yet (final testing at the moment), so the the messaging is incorrect. When the update is out and we make them publicly available, this confusing messaging will go away.

But if MS/Asobo fixed the Mooney with the recent hotfix, what will this Carenado update be for?

With the last FS2020 update released yesterday our aircraft don´t crash to desktop any more when manipulating certain 3D objects, but some elements such as windows, doors and sunvisors becomes inoperative.

We have submitted a fix for CT182 Skylane and M20R Ovation to Microsoft early this week and hope to send a fixed PA44 Seminole in the next hours.

Thanks CB, but my Mooney sunvisor was moving around just fine last night, not just no CTDs - first thing I tried! 

Maybe it is still affecting certain other systems and settings then?

Or hopefully Carenado have added a bit of extra functionality that was asked for.

I suppose we will have to wait and see.  Not long now! 

PS. I look forward to your next 'pined' post. Genuine thanks for taking the time to do those. 👍

@ChaoticBeauty Another thanks from me for your 🌲 posts

Maybe we should start a money collection to get you off that old graphic card so you can finally have clouds in your simulated life (and hopefully not in your real one) 😀

Yes that is a sad situation for him.  For all of his loyalty and good publicity, I think MS/Asobo owe him at least a 3080. 😁

Thanks, I really appreciate the thought! I will probably have a new GPU within the next two months when the mid-range models are out, unless the painful supply issues persist. Really can't wait to get back into the simulator. As much as I dislike it in its current state, I'm starting the miss the beautiful visuals before the recent issues.

Just thinking... on the joint Asobo and Carenado fixes, maybe they are both tackling the same problem from different ends.

E.g. Asobo by capturing CTD events better, and Carenado by making their code more compatible with Asobos default aircraft.

Can't hurt.  I just hope we don't  end up with a double set of sunvisors! 😄

Looks like the update is now live:

A brief summary - it obviously mentions the fixes to the CTD's

Fixed some transponder issues.
Fixed the altitude selector knob crash.
Fixed fuel selector and HSI operation.
Fixed a yoke and tablet visibility issue (whatever that was - not sure I saw that one).

It also says improvements to the electrical system. 
So, did they fix the lighting on the overhead panel?  I can't get to my sim until tonight to check it.

All in all though, seems like it's not a bad update.

I'll check to day. I don't mean to be negative but, I doubt that the overhead lighting and the EGT are fixed.

The overhead lights still don't work. What is wrong with this developer? I've waited months for Carenado to fix the lights and they still have not fix it.

I've seen this movie before.

Yes, and I think that movie is "Airplane!". 

All they need to do now add the inflatable pilot from that movie to the passenger seat in the internal model, and that would make it about right for them! 😄
