Title: 2.2 works well...for me.

Just installed and did a complete flight from CYYZ to KTPA.  For the first time, I could do a complete flight without any major problems!!!! No CTD's, no strange and unusual behavior,  fuel planning was correct.

Thank you CS for making the FS9 version stable.

There are still a few small items that make me wonder, but none that are of any concern to me that take away from flying this aircraft.  This 757 is complete baby!

NOW I CAN GET MY MONEY'S WORTH!!

I was quite lightly loaded on my approach to Tampa (app spd 117, so that would have been around 140-160 Gross wt.).  During the arrival procedure, if it did oversteer I didn't notice it.  It overshot the track at one point and re-established ok but that's about it.

But what I DID notice is that roll rate for autopilot was high and it held 30 degrees bank rather than 25 deg like it should be.  The 757 is a VERY maneuverable jet so it is capable to roll quick, but for pax comfort 25 deg max bank is typical autopilot maximum.

Still, this is something I'm willing to live with for a working product.  CS may no longer work on the FS9 version, but one of us will have a good fix eventually.

Lets just be grateful CS listened and made a final update.

And the VOR OBS on 2D panel works fine?

Haven't tested the VOR, but it was on the list I believe.  If you guys look at the list of fixes for this patch, it is quite disturbingly extensive - which goes to show why we needed this patch so badly.

I have installed the upgrade and have been faced with some of the issues from the original.  GCTS - EGKK   approx 27000lbs.  Completed flight using only 4000lbs.   This subject was featured before and some manuel amendments were made in the Fuel flow in the CFG, but these changes seem to have been made with the new release, but the issue is back.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
