Slowly but surely I’m getting angry about this whole amateurish update mess.

They took away the Addon cockpits (and the Crew Compartment) from us for supposedly better performance. If I select them now, I only see a block and empty Places. BUT I can see the co-pilot!

In the default Cockpit, the co-pilot is gone.

I have never seen such a chaotic update. Do your work properly. Have it thoroughly tested by beta testers until it actually works, and only then release it to us.

We paid for a fully functional aircraft, and we are not here to serve as your beta testers.

I agree. Every update seems to break as many things as it fixes.

Indeed, 22 updates in 10 months is too much. You read the list of changes and wonder how the first version flew at all, it feels like the developers aren't testing them there at all.

And where did the co-pilot disappear to again?

Hi, in this update, we made significant changes to the model in order to improve performance. As part of this, we have retired the cabin packs, and any 3rd party addons that interacted with the models need to be updated (and many already have).

To fix this issue:

1) Please select either the Default or No Cabin variants. As mentioned in the NOTAM, support for the cabin packs is being deprecated in this update.

2) Please remove the low-res texture pack as well as any conflicting addons from your community folder (zHUES core library is a common one, there is an update for it available on flightsim.to).

We of course can't validate that every 3rd party addon works with the aircraft, so if you have an issue like this please make sure that you remove any modifications you have installed.

Thank you, Steven, but I cannot agree with the argument that the update was necessary due to performance issues. How many people actually experience these problems? Five out of ten, two out of ten, or perhaps even fewer? These days, as software becomes more advanced and hardware requirements increase—and considering that computers are not as expensive as they used to be—most users should be able to run these aircraft without trouble.

I personally had no issues at all, just as I have none with the FBW A380, which is significantly demanding. This applies both to FS2020 and MSFS2024.

You can’t make the product work perfectly for everyone, but you can clearly explain what hardware specifications are required. If someone refuses to read or accept those requirements, that is their own responsibility—not a problem that should affect customers who paid for a high-quality aircraft.

So please be a bit more respectfull to your loyal customers and dont threat them as immature individuums and give us the ability to choose for ourselves and restore the features you have “retired.”

I’m currently having installation issues with build 1.1.8 not installing on Xbox. I can seemingly download it ok after uninstalling it completely (previous downloads got half way then stopped) but when I go to install it says installation failed. Any ideas? I’ve reset cache, the sim and my console - for reference I’m currently in the sim update 4 beta. Thanks

Before installing, switch to another aircraft in free flight.
