I am in the process of refreshing the Fleet Installers of some, but not all, aircraft.
The 727, 777 and CRJ installers have been updated, with a few minor but significant changes. First, the installers at present do not download the manual into the proper location, and the start menu shortcut will not work. This should now be corrected. The 777 Soaring Spirit does not use the correct MDL file, leaving blank textures on the engines and has now been fixed (thanks Mark Mestre). Additionally, I've made a few tweaks to the installer code in terms of requesting IDs from new pilots, etc. etc.
Additionally, the 727 installer is reverting back to the Lonny Payne 727 panel. The Probst panel is very nice, but I'm a 2D panel fan and the Payne panel is functional and readable, if a touch less realistic.
I will be going through some other installers, like the 737, 747, 757, 767 and MD-88/90 making changes over the next few days. I am considering the POSKY 757 model, but right now I probably won't release it unless DXT3 texture format significantly cuts down on the installer size. The IFDG 757 is nice, and I cannot justify increasing the installer size by 10MB from 16MB to 26MB, and including 2 fewer liveries.
Cheers!
