*****IMPORTANT NOTE!: IF YOU DOWNLOADED THE 1.4.1 UPDATE PRIOR TO January 23rd, 2012 @ 1500 EST (Eastern Standard Time - US) YOU WILL NEED TO RE-DOWNLOAD THE CRJ UPDATE!*****


Hello, all,

This will serve as a formal forum announcement that we have released the version 1.4.1 update for the Take Command! CRJ-200. All customers who have purchased the CRJ-200 up till now have been sent an e-mail by X-Aviation with complete installation instructions on how to update your product. We have made this a very simple process! For those that purchase the CRJ-200 from today forward, your purchased download will already be updated to version 1.4.1 for you.

What if I didn't get the update e-mail?

If you did not receive your update e-mail don't fret! X-Aviation has updated our system to allow all customers to update with ease, regardless of whether you received an e-mail for the update! Here's what to do:

1. Login to your X-Aviation account here: https://www.x-aviati...talog/login.php

2. View your past order history invoice that contains the CRJ-200 purchase on it.

3. At the bottom of the invoice you will find a blue highlighted link to your update that says: "Take Command!: CRJ-200".

The new installer will detect whether this is a new install, or if you already have any CRJ-200 version installed. Depending on your current situation, the installer will run through the appropriate paths with you, including uninstalling all unnecessary items from the previous version!

Your liveries/downloaded paints will be safe in this process!

There are some important fixes and requests implemented in this update.

The following is a list of additions/fixes included:

[FMS]
-Added keyboard input to scratchpad: click upper left corner of CDU to activate the keyboard
-Reworked internal flightplan logic to support ACT and MOD flightplans

-Added support for STAR transitions
-Database validity check on STATUS page
-More reliable flightplan loading and saving
-All new CDU rendering system that works with character placement like the real thing
-Massive performance improvement with better responsiveness on all CDU pages
-Cleaner CDU font on Mac

[BUGS]

No idea what you are talking about. There most certainly is a windows installer. Mutestyles (poster above you) had to install it somehow...and he's on Windows!

Windows installer won`t accept my email to complete the install. Keeps rejecting saying "You need to specify a Value." ?

Even deleted the first download and re-downloaded to try again. Still says the same.

Hi,

since I installed version 1.4.1 in my X-Plane 10 Folder, I can't use version 1.3 in my X-Plane 9 installation any more. The switches for battery just won't flip. What is the problem here? I had version 1.3 running fine in X-Plane 9 and 10 before. I wanted to test version 1.41 first, before using it in X-Plane 9.

Is there a work around? Would be appreciated!

I have been over and over with this.. it is now crashing.. i used the UNINSTALLER CRJ-200. Re installed it using the 1.4.1 update installer SETUP- OSX.

It now is missing the JROLLON PLANES folder that use to be located in the main x-plane 9 folder.

When trying to start up x-plane, it encounters an error. Attached is my ERROR DETAILS and the LOG.TXT file after the installing the 1.4.1 and then tried to open x-plane 9.

It stayed trying to load the CRJ-200 for about two min and then went on to load the other aircraft... after it loaded the CIRUS JET it then quit and displayed the ERROR details as attached to this post.

Please tell me what i am doing wrong?

I want to use the CRJ 1.4.1 with the most recent NAVIGRAPH data. I have already downloaded the vasFMC flight management- native as directed by this forum: http://forums.x-pilo...navdata-format/ but it failed to tell us where to put the new data seeing as the JROLLON PLANES folder is gone and it use to hold the CRJ navdata.

CAN ANYONE HELP PLEASE!??!?!?!

It seems, that the nav data has moved into the plugins folder. If you go to:

Aircrafts->CRJ200->plugins->CRJAvionics->navdata

the file structure found here is identical to the one found in the vasFMC_native_1201 package.

So back up that folder (i do that by zipping its content right where it is) and put the 1201 data in there and you should be fine.

For the other problem, I don't know.

If you purchased at org, the org forum is the place where to ask questions. http://forums.x-plan...p?showforum=121

1.3 and 1.4 are mutually exclusive, since we changed the backend. You can't have both installed at the same time. 1.3 will stop working when 1.4 is installed, as the required backend was replaced.

The navdata is now in the plane under CRJ-200/plugins/CRJAvionics/navdata.
But please try a flight first with the navdata we ship by default, before you try anything else. Other threads indicate people are having a hard time because of moving/copying/whatever navdata folders around - perhaps of the wrong format.
Please try with a clean install first. If this works, proceed with updating the navdata as mentioned in the sticky post.

So so, wo ist denn dann das Backend installiert, wenn beide X-Plane 9 und 10 Versionen darauf zurückgreifen? Im X-Plane Folder kann es ja nicht sein. Well....dann werde ich die 1.41er wohl auch in der 9er installieren müssen. Usually I say never change a running system.

Thanx

Hi folks,

The performance improvement on my machine is just ENORMOUS. Gone from low 20's FPS to 35 constant. It just doesn't make any difference now, should the displays be on or off (was dropping fps from 35 to 20).

What to say? THANKS!!!!!! I was about to drop my (previously bottlenecking) CPU and throw some hundred euros in a new one and its motherboard. I just won't.

OK, now I will try the FMS. And BTW, Cameron: don't say installer will not erase settings... I now have to redo my complete custom pilotview set-up! ;-)

Cheers!

I'm pretty sure I did NOT say that. In fact, quoting myself: "Your liveries/downloaded paints will be safe in this process!"

I have solved my crashing issue... now i need a tutorial on the new FMC... it won't accept any waypoints... i have tried about 5 from 3 different locations that i use to fly out of in the old 1.3 CRJ and back... what happened?

For the sake of other users, please stick to English.
The "backend" I'm talking about is some libraries that are under $HOME/Library/Frameworks on Mac. Theoretically, it might work with both plugins - but given the amount of compatibility workarounds we have to do anyway, we decided it is best to start clean all over.

With the new version you have to enter the first To WPT on the FPLN1 page (this is correct as the real training documentation says it is done this way). You have to put the first waypoint in the RLSK4 position on FPLN1 page, before you can proceed with your flightplan on the next page.

You're right! I'll RTFM next time.

BTW, pilotview setup is finished, I have a complete LFML-LFLB fpl loaded, included SID & STAR (love that new ACT-SEL logic!), up to here it works like a charm. Time to start APU...
