FS2Crew Weekend Update: 16 Feb 2025

FS2Crew Weekend Update - Feb 16th 2025! - All Read!

Product Manager updated to V2.0.18

Change: We added a user request so the position of the Product Manager is saved on the screen.

If -and only if- you cannot update to V2.0.18  (it should auto update) or if you encounter any other error with the Product Manager, please do a clean re-install of the Product Manager. 

To do that, follow these steps:

Make a backup of your "pm_status.json" file located in Roaming folder described below.  This file records which FS2Crew's you have installed.

Delete:

C:\Usersuser name\AppData\Roaming\fs2crew-product-manager-installer-v2

and:

C:\Users* user name*\AppData\Local\fs2crew-product-manager-installer-v2-updater

Re-download via the "Downloads" page on the FS2Crew website at: www.fs2crew.com

Restore the backed-up "pm_status.json" file.

If you accidentally forget to back up the "pm_status.json" file, it's no big deal. You can just go ahead and reinstall your FS2Crew's again through the Product Manager.

Important: Just so you know, if you cannot delete any of those folders because Windows says they're in use, please ensure the Product Manager is not running.  Open your Task Manager, and end any instances of the Product Manager running (blue airplane nose icon).

Please vote for FS2Crew at the FS Elite Awards!

Animated FOs for the MSFS 2024 Fenix and FBW:

As you know, we released the animated FO for the MSFS 2024 FBW and Fenix Airbus.  You can download them via the Product Manager if you own them.

We released them as "experimental".

MSFS 2024 really changed everything for the animated FOs.  Very little was backward compatible with 2020.  So they required massive surgery.  We've invested much more time in them than we initially expected.  MSFS 2024 really is a different animal.

We hope to have the final versions out next week!

PMDG 777 version - V1.1 update status:

Once the FBW and Fenix animated FOs are final, we'll push out the PMDG 777 V1.1 update.  Hopefully, that'll happen next week as well.

Have a lovely weekend!
