Состоялся официальный релиз TFDi Design 717 V1.1, по заявлению команды эта та самая версия продукта, которую они хотели сделать ещё в декабре 2016, но как всегда бывает, не всё пошло гладко и по плану. Было выпущено туча фиксов и исправлений и чтобы не нервировать всех пользователей они даже предложили всем желающим стать участниками бета-тестов. Теперь, как они наверно надеются всё позади. Что самое главное – официальная поддержка P3D V4, улучшили работу VNAV/LNAV, добавили и поправили кучу функций MCDU, новая внешняя модель с wing flex, новое освещение кабины. И ещё очень много исправлений из того что смогли найти участники отрытых бета-тестов. Процесс обновления автоматический, через Addon Manager, но обязательно нужно переустановить ливреи, т.к. поменялась внешняя модель. Новые шкурки уже оперативно обновили и доступны зарегистрированным пользователям на официальном форуме в разделе загрузки. Если кто не знаком с этим самолетом, то может прочитать небольшой обзор на нашем форуме и присоединиться к обсуждению этого замечательного продукта. А тем кто ещё не купил, категорически рекомендую купить 🙂
