Version 4.4 released
Dec 1st, 2009 at 9:20pm
Print Post  
I just re-downloaded the 757 about 3-4 days ago and my files (-200 and -300) read 4300. I accidentally deleted them doing some HD cleaning so I went back to redownload and now the files are both 4400.

The installer reads as 757 Version 4.4 during install so it looks like it has been released, only it has not been reported yet. Smiley

Somebody please correct me if I am wrong.

Hi Shane.

It appears you could be right. When I clicked on "Get links" it points to csp751_4400.exe etc...

I am going to download them now. Thanks for that. I have noticed that I get an email about the updates/releases from Capt Sim a few days after they become available on the website.

NOTE: I have downloaded and installed the v4.4 and it definitely looks like it really IS the 4.4 update. An updated ACE and a few other fixes I have noticed, so far, from my very short test flight. Grin

Can you elaborate on the fixes you found?

I just installed the update, but I haven't had time to check it out.

UPDATE:  Unfortunately there appears to be new issues with this update.  I experienced problems with interior/exterior lighting, TCAS, and external engine noise, and I still had to edit the sound.cfg file.  I may try and submit tickets, but I might just go back to v4.3 as it was stable and the few small issues weren't too bad, but for now this bird is grounded. Sad

Hi,

same with the landing lights here. And i dont hear the cabin messages and other cockpit sounds and announcements without the old workaround (put a Msvcr71.dll in FSX root and SoundOffWhenSimIsSlew=0 in sound.ini). But with this workaround its ok.

And the FMS say "insufficient fuel" to me with 50% fuel for a 148nm trip and reseves only at 1.000 lbs. But i will work on this...

But anyway my best plane next to the CS C130! Smiley

I was wrong about the TCAS fail message, it should be present when on the ground, I just don't recall the last version modeling this.  

EDIT:  The wing tank issue was an FSX error.

Hi,
i experience the same problems
- no sound on buttons, knobs, callouts etc. (mmh, the second time i loaded the plane the sound was OK - without modifying the sound.ini)
- Engine sound in external view with no eninges running
- still cant set the speedbugs
- the landing light switches go mad, switch the interior lights
- EPR numbers disappear in EICAS with engine off (maybe a feature, not a bug?)
- ailerons still rocking
- no new nightlightning  Cry

but the there are good facts to report too:
+ VOR neddle now functions as it should
+ no problems running the APU or ext. PWR > 20 mins
+ center fuel tank is now drained first
+ plane only lifts of at calculated V2


Anyone got the autobrakes on landing working? Every time the main gear touches the ground the knob flips to "disarm".
RTO works fine.


Greetings

Does anyone else with v4.4 have trouble with the autothrottle speed management when VNAV is engaged?  On my first flight, I had programmed a flight plan in the FMC, I engaged the flight directors, autothrottle, LNAV, VNAV, autopilot CMD, and the autopilot did not take over the speed of the aircraft.  Usually with VNAV engaged, the speed window of the autopilot is blank and speed is managed by the aircraft, but I had to manually enter speed values during this flight.

I submitted a ticket, #4617, regarding this issue.

Hi!
I can´t confirm the autothottle issue. I made a flight from EDDF to LEIB this evening with everything working as it should.

What operating system and FSX version are you using?  I am on Vista 32-bit with FSX Acceleration SP2.  I have duplicated this issue two times in a row, and I didn't have this problem with v4.3, so I don't think it is user error.

Anyone know how to enable the winglets on the model?  For some reason, when 4.4 installed it did not install the usual folder that contained the model with winglets.

Thanks,
