iFly Boeing 737 MAX8

[Rolf Niemi 1 624]

En tiedä, mitä uutta Fenix on tuomassa ja toistaiseksi tuntuu siltä, että ensimmäisessä luomuksessa on riittävästi bussia, mutta tämä iFlyn tuote kiinnostaa ja jos se on toimiva lisäosa, niin hankintaan taitaa mennä. Julkaisun jälkeen on toki luettava kaikki mahdollinen kritiikki puolesta ja vastaan. FSX:ssä minulla oli iFlyn 737-xxx ja oli hyvä kone silloisen näkemyksen mukaan.

**We are now releasing version 1.0.0.** This announcement replaces the previous one from a few days ago. The changelog is also replaced.

First, we would like to thank everyone who has contributed to helping us advance the product. We apologize for some delays in getting the next build out to you, however, we believe the delay comes with some benefits. In developing a complex aircraft such as the MAX8, along with the platform of MSFS, it is beneficial to tackle other elements when fixing one. The list has now grown to over 130 features or fixes added. Note that after MSFS 2024 is released, we will begin researching compatibility. We will not have a timeline on MSFS compatibility until some time after MSFS 2024 is released.

**Important: Before installing, make sure you follow these instructions, as a complete product replacement is required:**

1. Make sure MSFS and the iFly Plugin is not running.
2. Press "Manage Product" in the main screen, then select the "Open Data Folder". Manually DELETE all the content, including the “work” folder.
3. Press “Uninstall”
4. Make sure the MAX8 is deleted from your “Community” folder.

The iFly Manager has been updated. We recommend you update that first by going to https://manager.flight1.net

We will be shortly adding he product to the main Flight1 site shortly.

The changelog for 1.0.0 will be in the next 2 posts below.@everyone

Justiinsa asentelen - melkoinen lista ja toivoa sopii, että toimii ainakin yhtä hyvin kuin 0.25-versio. Tein tuossa aikaisemmin Windowsin asennuksen siten, että säilytin kaikki ohjelma-asennukset kun tuntui, että kaikki ei välttämättä toiminut oikein. 4 vuotta tuolla vanhalla alkuperäisellä tuli mentyäkin. Toki täysin puhdas olisi aina paras vaihtoehto, mutta se taas simumaailmassa on melko aikaa vievä projekti.

Kun ennen lähes kaikki oli levyillä niin homma sujui melko juoheasti simun asennuksia myöden ja FSX-aikoina tuo tuli tehtyä joitakin kertoja ilman sen suurempaa tuskaa, mutta nyt olisi ladattavaa melko paljon. Tosin simun osalta tuon mahtavan latausrumban voi välttä tekemällä joitakin ns. backuppeja - näin olen lukenut ja YouTubesta vilkaissut.

No joo - nyt on koko latausjuttu valmis lentokenttiä myöden ja ei kun testaamaan...
