Update

@p919h_lm Yep we did consider waiting to include the new FMS in this update. Had we done that though there would have been posts asking why we were delaying the rest of the update just for the FMS and if that happens to drag on into next week or past that then we just get pilloried even more.
So a decision has to be made, we have to make that decision so that's that really. Sorry it's not what you would have chosen to do. Hope you continue to enjoy the update and hope the FMS will be to your liking when it arrives. Thanks for your interest.

Thanks for the update @Voice-of-Reason, really appreciated. Looking forward to the eventual FMC upgrade. Seen it on the Dash 8, seems to be the UNC, looks very different than the usual Boeing ones.
Any update re the RJ? I presume the UNS is going to be in the RJ too since you're spending so much time on it?
Kind regards

Anyone know the updated version number?
I’m showing version 1.8 as of now (1353 US Central Time) but have not noticed anything new.
I did make the mistake of purchasing thru Marketplace (never again!) but I assume that it was updated as well.
Also, did I read right… no UNS-1? If so… ugh!!!!! I’ll keep on flying convention VOR Airways.
Thanks

@voice-of-reason well, like i said, it's one of my favourites. And i like the way it is currently. Haven't flown it yet, but the failure system looks nice. Just a suggestion regarding that, and this is entirely my own niche requirement, but i would like to have an option like in black square overhaul mods where i can crank the failure probability really high. So that it's guaranteed to have a random failure in a 1 hr flight. That way, there will be a bit of surprise element but i won't know exactly what's going to fail and when. Not sure how high probability does the high setting has though.
Hoping to get the UNS soon. The lack of perf calculation is a bummer but I suppose in due time we may see it. Also hope the RJ professional is very close to release. The short stubby planes are a bit of a weakness of mine it seems, same for the A310/18/19.
Again, appreciate the update.

@big-brown You can't just yet. We've sent them the updated files it's down to them now in terms of how long it will take them to get the update live. Hopefully on Thursday the update will be there for you.

Thanks for the info!

@voice-of-reason It is wild to me how much of this is outsourced. I hope you were able to get a copy of all that work the guy did on the calculators, like backed up in cloud storage as he went along with it.
I love this aircraft and what you have all done with it, but it was hard to not be disappointed when things don't meet your expectations for an update. Sorry if I sounded rude.

Most specialist developers in flight and train simulation - in fact, a huge percentage across the entire games industry - are freelance. Given the global nature of the industry this is simply how things work nowadays. The development of Flight Simulator itself was outsourced and I would be surprised if all the development was done by Asobo's (the company to which it was outsouced) employees beavering away at desks 9-5 in their offices in Bordeaux. We have a number of people working at Just Flight and Just Trains 'on the books' but we also work with freelancers. Some on a regular basis and some for one-off projects.
