The existing preflight decal now includes 7 click-spots to open new preflight checklists. And the best new feature is the new fuel sump check that was modeled. All walk around objects are clickable including each tie-down, chocks and 4 groups of wick covers. The active walk-around markers will now flash green to show your current location.
2. PMS50 GTN750 non working title panel was removed.
3. Added 10 new liveries so Xbox can have more options.

Hmmm, I've not had the usual update email from them for this or for the Learjet which was also updated today. 

edit - I can see from my order history however that both are the newest versions from March 5th

No email here either. Strange as there usually is.

Nope, haven't gotten a notification either...odd...

Oh well, perhaps one will come through later today.

No e-mail here either. Their website also not updated yet. Happy about their commitment to the 414 though. It's a fabulous addon.

He’s been talking it up for a couple of weeks and dropped it last night. Change log is from the Discord.

No mystery here. Just an update.

It's in your account at the Flysimware Digital Store. I just downloaded from my account.

https://www.flysimware.com/FLYSIMSTORE/

I must say, it's a VERY SLOW dowload (less than a MB/s). My service is normally 7-10.

Yes, a very slow download at their own store. I really must start flying the Chancellor - I bought it in a sale, and it's been barely used since then.

Nice to see them still working on this aircraft, I think now about year since it was deemed complete -- a sign of a committed developer. I really enjoyed this plane and flew it all over North America but I admit I have not taken it out of the hanger since before I got the TBM and the M500 but one day I will circle back to it. I do wish they would add even a basic simulation of engine failures and health, that would draw me back quickly.

I must say that I appreciate your heads-ups of aircraft updates, @btacon .

Not being one who really follows the developers' whose products I enjoy, it's very useful and I've heard about updates for 3 of my fave planes from you in these posts now.

Keep up the great journalism!

My thoughts and my experience, even with the hangering. Why hangered?  No reason other that too many other good planes to fly and the fact that I flew it pretty much consistently for about a year whilst it went thru early access release.  Now?  I forgot how much of f a blast the 414 is. MOAR 414 stick time coming!

yeah, always had a soft spot for this plane. Love the new update. Had it since it was beta released. Even when the PMDG and 310 were released....I still flew this more often haha.
