[12MAR21] PMDG 777 Product Line Updates released via Operations Center
Yesterday, 02:14
Captains,
As discussed in my 11MAR21 update, we have just pushed a series of updates that covers the entire PMDG 777 product line for Prepar3D v4/v5. This update is really focused on quality-of-flight improvements for the 777, with updates to the pitch control module in the C*U portion of fly-by-wire as some code improvements to eliminate an out-of-context acceleration that would occur at high AOA/ANU while the aircraft was rolling on the main landing gear.
We have also gone through quite a few other smaller items as detailed in the change list, and the usual other polish/tweaking that we do with update cycles.
We are going to expand the concentration iris a bit over the next few weeks, to include dragging a few changes back over to the 747 and 737 product lines in order to clean up problems that are "universal" across the product lines (the out-of-context acceleration for example) to those product lines- and we have some backlogged fixes that have piled up while we focused on the 777 exclusively and we push those out for you- as we now to the point where our workflow will balance out between our four active product lines more evenly. (The 4th is DC-6, for those wondering!)
UPDATE INSTRUCTIONS:
Launch the PMDG Operations Center.
Click on Aircraft and Liveries
Click on Product Updates You will see that each of your installed 777 products has an activated UPDATE button, and shows that the latest version is 1.11.1183.
Press the update button and let the Operations Center do it's think.
After updating, you might need to run through the livery repair process to restore any liveries that get disrupted in the update process, but that only takes a moment.
The change log for this build set is as follows:
