@HXArdito I thought that was dropping today? Did it get delayed?

Its a bit confusing. Aerosoft said they waiting for Microsoft to update it in the store and that Microsoft has the update already. Asobo said in the dev update they are waiting for Aerosoft to release it on their store…

However, Mathijs said it will drop in the next 14 hours… 5 hours ago.

it’s dropping today.

Did you get it? If you can run the fbw a320 you can easily run the CRJ.CRJ has better performance on my system.

No weather radar???..now that MSFS fixed it ,capturing only precipitation would make sense be implemented on CRJ .

Right now (assuming it didn’t change with the latest SDK drop), weather radar cannot be implemented from within WASM as there is no way to access the necessary data from within the sandbox. This is an SDK limitation.

As of Friday, May 28th at 0150 Zulu (right now) it’s not out yet. But today eastern time (it’s 9:50pm on Thursday) is not yet over. So we’ll see. But if it doesn’t drop until tomorrow, eh, no biggie. At least for me!

Aerosoft is based in Germany, UTC+2 in summer. Not sure whether Mathijs himself lives in the Netherlands or in Germany but it‘s the same time zone. Let them at least brush their teeth before they turn on their computers and press „go“ lol

Mathjis lives in France, just as a completely offtopic info :sweat_smile: IIRC from an interview…

Haha okay ^^

Looping…down to 3 Mb with Netlimiter4…and try again!

Having such trouble downloading this update, I’ve not had this many issues before. The update itself failed 2 or 3 times, after loads of looping. After that, it seems to have removed the whole package altogether.

And now doing a download from the Not Installed tab is once again doing the looping thing as well.

The heck is going on?

This is on the Marketplace btw

Yes, same as…Marketplace. I managed 95% and then looped to 0%. Such fun!

Impossible to download. Gets to 100% Decompression and then back to 0%. I’m sick and tired of this nonsense.

Another reason why i never buy in Marketplace… Slow updates, slow downloads, buggy downloads…
Download from simmarket worked flawless.

It seems like the update is broken: the throttles don’t work anymore, so you can’t take off nor fly.

Have you calibratet the throttles in the cokpit tablet? They changed quite a bit on the throttle logic.

Okey, same issue gets reported on the official Aerosoft-Forum. Looks like we have to wait for a hotfix… :frowning:
