Hello Phil,

I have experienced one of bug you mentioned - completing Sitka Approach also ticks Flour Power. After installing SP1, Flour Power is still ticked. Does it mean that SP1 fix cannot "unmark" it, but prevents ticking it for those who complete Sitka *after* installing SP1?

Also, I experienced bug (in RTM version) in helicopter landing mission, which was not mentioned in your relaase note. Where can I report it?

Otherwise thanks for the delivery, after all, it was only two weeks late, which is amazing compared to normal delays ;-).

And one a bit offtopic - just out of curiosity: Why are all your posts completed with comments from "Nick Whittome" which do not make sense. Do you test something new?

When I host a session can I and my friend be observers?

In FS2004 I can't, that's why I am asking

I have a strange thing.

I installed SP1 over a clean install of FSX and now when i fly a mission i don't hear a voice (i do hear music)....

In the sounds settings voice is on 100%...

What is going wrong?

yes, there is an issue with ATC in localized builds and we are re-releasing French-Italian-German-Spanish-Polish today to address this.

Hi Phil,

I managed times of around an hour in the pre-SP1 Alpine Soaring mission, but now? I still can't land at Zell am See, despite the comment "MISSIONS: Austrian Alpine Soaring: When User passes finish line and successfully lands on runway they fail the mission"

Have I missed an SP1 for the SP1 somewhere? I've landed backwards, forwards and even sidewise ;)

Mind you - I do have the FSGenesis meshes installed. Could these be giving a location change? The biggest pity was the fact that installing the SP1 as recommended (clean install of FSX) deleted all the previous rewards. (I found out that there is a second folder of FSX data that isn't mentioned in various advices about saving records)

Anyway, I still have the flying hours logbook.

I just dont know about that one wrt the mission.

As far as files being removed, did you see http://dev.fsinsider.com/tips/Pages/SupportAlertFilesRemovedonFSXUninstall.aspx ? That article did try to talk to this issue.

"Nick just got in first with his comment everywhere, thats all."

LOL, sorry about that ;)

Risa, what happens is that if I post a blogpost on my msmvps.com site, and I reference a blogpost by someone else (in this case Phil's) then it adds the first line of the comments I make to the other blog. Hope that makes sense.

Cheers,

Nick
