Edward, that's good to know. Thank you.

And Richard, the updated models work great. Thanks so much for doing that.

So... Will it supercruise? ;)

It does! Pretty much right down the lines that you were theorizing. With a clean config and about 8000 lbs of fuel I tried it out at FL250 and it decelerated slowly from M1.5 until about M1.3 and seemed to hold. I only tried for a few minutes but it certainly gave an effort. :)

Thanks for the update. Also, thanks for finding that bug and helping the aircraft maintainer squash it. :)

My pleasure. Glad I could help. I think that's the fastest bug fix I've ever seen. Welcome to open source, right? :)
The FGAddon repository isn't updating to the newer version however, and there seems to be something wrong with catalog.xml for the past few days. See my other post...

Try go into addons tab, and delete all "Aircraft hangar locations". Then click the "Restore default aircraft hangar location" button. Might help.
Also remember that changes to FGAddon, might take some days to show in your launcher, before you get the "update" button.

That's on a good day. He, he. ;)

Though a good bug report that help the developer replicate the bug on his side always helps immensely. :)

I'd say that a good, detailed bug report allows most bugs to be squashed in 5-10 min. If the developer can replicate the problem, most bugs are easy to fix. If the bug report is not detailed and the developer cannot replicate it, then it can take days, months, or even years to fix. This is my personal experience as a developer anyway.

Regards,
Edward
