FS2Crew Friends,

This will take the place of the Weekend update!

PRODUCT MANAGER:  Version 1.0.5 is now available.  It adds the ability to uninstall as well as install.  It also makes some other changes.  The Product Manager will auto update when you run it.

Issue with users using the "PREVIEW/INSIDER" build of Windows 11:  Fixed!

RAAS for MSFS:  I just did some tests on it.  It's working very good, but there a couple issues I found that need to resolved before we can release it to the Beta Team.  We are trying very hard to release RAAS before the end of the year.

FBW A32NX: Updates incoming, mostly minor stuff.

Pushback Express:  We've made very good progress on automating Distance Pushback mode even more so you don't need to enter an aircraft offset when setting the Arrow over the taxiway.  This makes PBE kinda like Better Pushback for X-Plane with this new functionality.  Update incoming.

UGCX 2.3 Final:  After RAAS is released, we're dedicating a solid week to pushing out UGCX 2.3 Final.  The 2.3 UGCX beta has a few bugs which we want to clear away.

CRJ for MSFS: Coming after releasing UGCX 2.3 Final.  The CRJ should come pretty quick, because with the FBW A320 version which managed to establish a very "solid system" in MSFS.  So it's no longer a matter of learning and experimenting in MSFS anymore.  We can just go ahead and "do it".

PMDG 737 for MSFS:  Probably coming after the CRJ.  It depends on when PMDG releases it and what's happening on their SDK front.  Could be soon.  Could be later.  It all depends on Team PMDG.

Discord Server:  We've joined the 21st century and created a Discord Server.  We'd like you to join it!  Here's the link:  https://discord.gg/ZJ4HKx727m


Predictions for next year:

2022 will be big.  We're going to see a lot of complex 3rd party planes becoming available for MSFS, and of course it's not realistic to fly them single pilot, so we have our work cut out for us!

And thank you all for supporting FS2Crew!

Judging by this snapshot we took of the map, people like their FS2Crew 😉

Great update Bryan...i'll be happy to test Raas!

 My fingers are crossed so the 737NG3 doesn't take months to come out.

I notice that there're more European customers than in the rest of the world.

Varies with time zones.

But I think Germans are actually our biggest users.

You'd think it'd be Americans, but Germans seem love us.  Dankeshon 😉
