I can't see any reference to an official update anywhere (list of fixes etc).  Where can I find this and download the new version?

is it just for the base pack or the expansions too?  Cheesy

If you log in to your order profile in the CS support area and then go to "Extended Download Service". Then hit "get new links" - that will give you the download. There's no indication of this but the file name is csp732_1600.exe. The 16 indicates the version (previous was 11). The base model and the freighter are certainly both updated. I'm not sure about the -100 as I haven't bought that but it should be.

Details of the update are here:- http://www.captainsim.com/products/x737/sp1600.html

All of the Expansion Models, AND the 737-200 Base Pack for P3D v2, are  listed as version 1.6.

Try reinstalling it again. Use the repair option. Make sure to install it using the Run as administrator option if using Vista/Win7/Win8/Win8.1.

To install using the Run as administrator option, right click on the installer and select it from the list that pops up.

Can anyone who had the user mods installed ( V-One gauge, bud's tweaks etc....) on the previous version and have now updated to the 1.6 compare the FDE of the two? I installed all the user tweaks and got the thing running well. I'm almost hesitant to install the 1.6. Interested to hear feedback of those two models.

1) Also, does anyone have CTD when using the PDCS? Does it seem to give useful/accurate info or just  throw out random data?

2) As well, has the VC night lighting been fixed. The old 732 VC had many inconsistencies in the night lighting.

3) Has anyone used Paul's V-One gauge with 1.6? Interested to see if it play's well with the update.

Personally I think the CS732 in the nicest plane graphically I've ever seen. Be nice to have the rest of it up to speed ( or close to it).



Thanks for your help.



Cheers,

Brian

I only tested the V-One guage, so I can't give a comparison. Sad

No CTD with the PDCS. The information does seem useful to me.

I don't think there is any difference.

Sorry. No.

I have been doing some testing today.

Like BrianG, I had the previous version working very well with Bud's FDE mods and Paul's V-One gauge (thanks guys!), so I was wondering how the update would affect things.

What seems to be working best for me is to install the V-One gauge, but without the changes to the aircraft.cfg that are normally done.  I tried it with Bud's mods and the cfg changes that were recommended with the V-One gauge, but it seems that many of those changes, at least the aircraft.cfg changes, are already pretty close to those values now with the service pack.  So just the stock 1.6 aircraft plus the v-One gauge, but no other FDE changes.

I did do the EPR offset change to the V-One gauge. (Where you change the value to 0.123)

Right now I am doing a flight that I am quite happy with the performance of the updated plane.  The V-One gauge is indispensable.  Maybe if I had a manual to learn how to use the PDCS properly, I wouldn't need the V-One gauge.

*UPDATE*
Descent seems much better now.  I can reduce thrust much lower now without the airspeed going too low.

Everything seems a bit smoother, CWS pitch control seems smoother and less herky jerky.

Thanks David Paul, good info to know. Might save my current 732 folder and install 1.6 . There's a good tutorial CoolP made of the PDSC (?). I found it very useful. it's on the first few pages somewhere of the 732 topic list

Anyone else experiences a "CTD" in v1.6 when loading the AC?

I've had similar in the past with CS aircraft - disabling the "update" guage always did the trick, but don't see one of those "things" here. 

Any ideas?
Bill

My own troubleshooting here.

Looks like being caused by either on of the two "new" system gauges here.  Am able to paste in the old panel folder from the previous version (Always keep my backups!), and the 737 loads, and flys fine (tested all models). 
Bad news is that I'm missing most of the update in the v1.6 - at least from a gauge perspective.  The New system gauges are much larger in v1.6, so guessing something in there is casusing the issue.

At least it is fly-able....

I find the aircraft works well, I see improved FPS, and it flies better. I only have FSX Steam Edition of my computer, and I get an error when trying to use ACE 737 "List index out of bounds (-1)".
