The MD-11 installer has been completed. I've included 4 MD-11s (the three Delta schemes plus Alitalia), along with Alain Capt's MD-11 panel v2.43 and his load editor. All you get is the load editor for the 3-class layout, but it's a neat little utility.

We're also getting two new (well, old really) aircraft - the DH.106 Comet 1 in its metal fatigued glory and the DC-3 "Ship 41" textures.

There are some updates coming to the CRJ and 737. You'll see subtantially more "OC" Delta Connection textures for the POSKY CRJ, and the 737 will have FS2004-comptaible analog "732" and digital "737NG" panels.

There is an FS2004 Concorde model. I haven't gotten it working fully yet, so this will be delayed. Hopefully I can exceed Mach 2.02 in it.

Finally, I'm recompiling most of the installers to support partial uninstallation and a slightly larger LZMA dictionary size, which may shrink them by 100-400K each.

I should start adding these to the Fleet Library in the next day or two.

Cheers!

In February I aim to turn my eye towards some of our other aircraft, like the MD-88. I understand that there have been some good developments there on the panel and model front, and I'd like to take advantage of that.

Cheers!

There's nothing "wrong" with the FSFrance 2004 Concorde, that I'm aware of. It's just a matter of taking their packaging scheme, extracting them all and then building an installer that works. I should have something in the next few days.

Cheers!

Luke:

Awesome stuff! Found one glitch, though--when I tried to download the Comet from the Western mirror, I got the DC-3 file instead.

Actually, maybe it's just me, but the Fleet Library page seems messed up. I try to download the DC-3, I get the manuals. I try to download the MD-11, I get the Caravelle. I'll try refreshing and go again.

There are some funky models that don't appear for everyone. Please give things another whirl.

Cheers!
