Here is the current status of the Fleet Library. You will soon see a new version of this area of the web site pushed out, with FS2002 and FS2004 compatible installers for more aircraft than before. Here is what the boxes mean:

Files: Green = all downloaded, Yellow = partially downloaded or identified, White = not started
Build: Green = Installer package created, Yellow = installer under development, White = not started
FS2002: Green = Tested with FS2002, no problems, Yellow = Minor Issues under FS2002, Red = Bad stuff happens, White = Not Tested
FS2004: Green = Tested with FS2004, no problems, Yellow = Minor Issues under FS2004, Red = Bad stuff happens, White = Not Tested

(If something is marked as Red for either FS2002/FS2004, then the installer will be written to not allow installations to this version.)

Cheers!

Luke

The crj is not compat with fs2004 error when ever aircraft is selected

Posted onPost created on October 15 2003 22:25 ET by Luke Kolin

You're correct - there's one minor point (to me) that is a major point (to you) - none of these installers have been pushed to the site. I have 'day off' tomorrow when Lynne takes Meghan to Storytime at the bookstore so hopefully I can get the fleet library moving by the weekend.

Cheers!

Luke; I downloaded the DC8 last night. The installer defaults to FS9 instead of FS2002. There were no prompts to guide installer to directory, so is there a work around or am I missing a step. thanks Greg

Luke, I have a DO328 JET in delta's ACA colors. Is there any way you could test it and put it in the install files? I realy love this plane and it handels well. It would be nice to have it to share.

Posted onPost created on October 17 2003 18:57 ET by Luke Kolin

Thanks for your kind offer. I have a 328 Panel but definitely need an aircraft. My main focus over the past two weeks has been completely rebuilding the installers to ensure FS2004 compatability, and updating the Fleet Library to have a friendlier and more effective interface. This work is almost complete, and once I'm done I'm going to turn my attention to some until-now neglected areas of our fleet, namely:

DC-10-10/30ER
MD-11
DO-328
B707-320
DC-9-14/32
.... oh, and I did I forget the L-1011? wink

So either e-mail me your aircraft, or give me a filename/ID on AVSIM/allnodesbusy.com for me to download, and I'd be delighted to add it.

Cheers!

Luke, it also wouldn't hurt to have a good EMB-120 available. It's a fun little bird to fly.

I have a model of it, but the props dissappear is FS2k4. Maybe someone can offer a suggestion of how to rectify this.

Sunclaro has a great crj panel its under fs2004 panels crj-2k4..just FYI

C-YA!

Posted onPost created on October 17 2003 20:55 ET by Luke Kolin

I am pushing out a new installer version that can detect multiple FS versions. I will let you know when it is ready, and give it a whirl. If you still have issues, we'll need to talk and see what your registry looks like, as it checks the registry for the locations.

Cheers!

On the CRJ comment -- if we are talking about the POSKY model, it is indeed compatable if you download the panel update from AVSIM :-) It was actually just released a day or so ago. Downloaded and tested it and now the CRJ works awesome in FS2k4.
