You must have the cheap version. Mine has the latest .exe, the previous version .exe, plus logs of the last 3 or 4 updates listing the changes.

Does anyone drive the tail dragger? Either I'm the only one (with the cheap version) that is getting landing/roll out/taxiing sounds like the tyres are punctured! I've had a go in the ladies tricycle version and the sounds aren't so strident.

Nobody?

Has anyone come across a change log for the update that was just released?

It is on their web site:

1. The GFC600 autopilot now has 2 new improvements. When holding in ALT mode the alerter lights will now continue to function as they should even when captured. Within 50 feet the alerter arm will disable. If you change the alerter value to greater or less than 300 feet then you can rearm the alerter. Then simply change to VS mode or IAS mode to capture new alerter value.

2. The autopilot max bank angle for all 3 panels is now using 30 degrees which helps when you intercept an approach or heading hold.

3. Flight dynamics update. Got rid of the brake fluttering when fully applied. Increased max compression for the front shock and which allowed increasing of the overall brake value. Aileron and rudder improved for control and to handle a max crosswind of 19 knots. The rudder has a tiny amount to spare once i landed. Decreased the full flaps lift scalar and increased the flaps drag. I also increased the cruise drag scalar and the overall drag.

4. Some of the engines gauges needles were not working. Fixed.

5. Totalizer is now finished. To re enter the pre-flight mode toggle the battery switch. If you need to remove fuel turn the battery off then click the test button and last turn the battery back on as this resets the memory back to zero. See user manual for full instructions .

6. ADF updated. The hundreths now can go up to a nine when the thousandths is a zero.

7. All avionics power mode switches/knobs are now included in memory state config. So what you walk away from your walk back to.

8. The Fresnel effect for the right propellor was stuck and not animating. Fixed.

9. The fuel flow has been increased and checked to fly in the ball park of 1,100NM to 1,300NM.

10. Pilot window no longer uses the mouse wheel and will no longer cause an issue when the tablet is visible.

Thanks I’m really confused, downloaded it again and just has the updated .exe, one file only.
