QualityWings 787 Hotfix 2

Greetings 787 Drivers!

We have just released Hotfix 2 for the Ultimate 787 Collection. This brings the current version number to V1.0.2. A total of 48 items in all aspects of the plane have been addressed.

This does not only fix reported bugs but also incorporates changes based on the feedback so many of you provided on our support forum. We have also spend a lot of time watching live streams and uploaded videos as it gives us great insights on how to make the interaction with our 787 even more intuitive. At this point we would like to express our thanks to all our customers who provided feedback, good or bad, and thus assisted us greatly in finding solutions.

Of course this hotfix does not address every single reported issue but it takes care of some high priority items on our way to Service Pack 1 and the P3Dv4 release. There are two ways to update your 787.

Option A – update existing installation

For your convenience we have created update installers that will update your current installation to v1.0.2. Installed liveries will continue to work. In case you have FSFX “787 Immersion” installed, a reinstallation of that product will be required.

All you have to do is to run the update for the Flight Simulator version you have the 787 installed in.

Download HOTFIX 2 for FSX: Steam Edition

Option B – complete reinstallation

All full installers on the Flight1 product page and on our website have been updated to the latest version.

If you decide to perform a full reinstallation, please first uninstall all liveries and then uninstall the 787. Then run the new installer as administrator.

All installers can also be found on our website at http://www.qualitywingssim.com/installers.html
