ETA for the first of hopefully multiple updates? Haven't heard anything since this post, and it's current 11 or 12 October as of time of this writing.

Yes, we are working on updates. The first update is planned for next week. 717 has fairly well-developed systems for the current price: - Autopilot - Electrical system - Hydraulic system - Fuel system - Engine Start system - Air system - Lighting, etc. We hope current product reflects more than the listed price. We are trying our best to make any additional improvements a pleasant surprise for 717 captains.

I second the update request. Sure, the aircraft has well-developed systems for its current state, but the transponder being inoperable and limiting use on VATSIM, etc. is huge. I recognize we don't know the developer's workload, but a quickfix to solve that likely would have gained a lot of goodwill amongst the Captains.
