Hello, all, Thanks for everyone's patience as we sorted out plug-in conflict issues! This will serve as a formal forum announcement that we have released the version 1.2 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 1.2 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! 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! There are some important fixes and requests implemented in this update. The following is a list of additions/fixes included: * Added sounds from Turbine Sound Studios to the CRJ200. * Added custom sounds (introduction to sound plugin. More to come in future updates) * Corrected Navigation Display projection to work with legs crossing the 180 meridian * Corrected insertion of missed approach waypoints, fixing a potential issue when the missed approach and the approach transition contain the same waypoint * Corrected calculation of remaining distance to not include missed approach * Fixed crash when selecting a new SID without re-selecting runway * Corrected insertion of RNAV approach transitions that do not depend on STARs * Corrected APU fuel consumption (didn't use any fuel before) and inhibit APU start when fuel in feeder tank is insufficient. * Small fixes to improve stability, fixed some issues that could cause X-Plane to freeze * MAC only: transition to a new compiler and SDK, improving overall fluidity by better optimizations. These optimizations require at least OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard to work. As always, thanks for being a customer with X-Aviation. We appreciate your feedback and support! Enjoy these latest updates, and stay tuned to the forum as we continually announce the latest happenings.

Thank you for this comment ! It's already possible to get sloped roofs.

So I hooked up my roommates Saitek Pro Flight Yoke, throttles, and pedals to my computer, mapped it all out, was going to do a short hop from KVRB to KMCO in the Challenger 300, pick up some "pax" and fuel, then blast off to N'awleans, but Xplane had different ideas. Had AirTrack set up to vector me for the ILS 36R at KMCO, taxied out, liftoff was no problem, positive rate - gear up, 1,000ft L ENGINE FIRE! Bells, whistles, warning lights and the ECS lit up like a Christmas tree. Its really funny how real world training kicked in. I immediately retarded the left throttle to idle, flipped the "RUN" switch to "OFF" continued down and activated the fire bottle for the left engine, and increased the thrust on the right one. I then preceded to keep flying the plane, and started a left turn to come back around to land. Mentally, I called my mayday and also tuned 7700 in my transponder. Flew a nice, high downwind and lined her up for the single engine landing. It wasn't my prettiest approach, but we made it back down safely. After I taxied off the runway, XP gave me a left side hydraulic failure too, so I had to turn the pumps on to taxi back to the ramp. I had turned on the "Mean time between failures" option on and set it to 2,000 hours. Totally random, but XP simulated a bird strike (hence the engine fire, probably a compressor stall) and gave me a "real world" scenario to deal with. Coupled with my real-world training, albeit not in anything as complex as this, the experience actually made me sweat a bit and was a hell of a lot more fun than any straight-line flight I've done before. That, was definitely cool!
