OFFLINE installer for the latest updates - Last Update August 8th 2024

[virtuali]

Same question. And so far as I know, there is no answer whereever you search for. Even in the PMDG forum I got no answer from users. Nobody seemst to know...

It's a mistake of the release notes, there's not support for the DC-6 yet. It will come.

Hello.

I would like to know if there is any way to fix the B777 pushback problem. Well, after a pushback call, the front axle of the aircraft is pulled underground. Sometimes it happens that there will even be a collision and the game assumes that the plane is crashing

Thank you

If with "B777", you mean Captain Sim 777, the airplane really has big problems with contact points, another user posted a while ago how to fix it, but it changes a lot depending if the WorldlinerRS/Salty mod is installed or not ( it's much better, but still needs some fixing if the mod is installed), and it looks like that mod hasn't been updated in a while and doesn't work well with the current version of the airplane.

The main issue is, the static contact points are just wrong in the airplane (amongst other even more serious things on the flight model, making the GSX pushback issues really moot in comparison), so the airplane doesn't stay correctly on ground if the simulation is disabled, which is a problem specific to that airplane, and cannot be fixed other than by fixing the airplane, as other users did.

In that case, apart from trying to fix it yourself, all you have to do is wait, and hope that the author of B777 CapitanSim will fix/make a patch.

Thank you for your answer

Offline installer still 2.7.3?

I updated to 2.7.4 through the fsdtinstaller and now I get a bunch of errors after MSFS startup.

Something’s wrong. Twice my simulator completely froze up, while loading pax. Even ctrl-alt-delete did nothing. Had to manually shut down the computer.

With GSX currently “uninstalled”, I.E. deactivated, so far all’s good.

After updating to 7.4 as well.

Latest version 2.7.5

Have you posted this in the wrong thread ?

This is the Offline installer thread, and it's not possible you would see that error if you really downloaded and installed the 2.7.5 Offline installer because, as already explained in the proper thread about this error, which is caused by your local cloudflare node not updated, the thumbnails for all operators are INCLUDED the Offline installer, so it's just not possible they won't be found.

This, of course, assuming you redownloaded the latest offline installer because, clearly, being "offline", you must redownload it every time there's an update.

[ultracool]

Yes I did 

[virtuali]

Yes I did 

Not very clear if with "Yes I did", you were replying to my question about posting in the wrong thread, or to the question about downloading the offline installer.

To be sure nothing is left unanswered, I can only repeat and confirm, if you download the Offline installer after Sep. 18th, you can be sure it contains all thumbnails, so that error is not really possible.

[ultracool]

Yes I posted this in the wrong thread, I update via the FSDT Installer

This 'offline installer' is quite confusing.  Do we simply need to download from Box or Mediafire, run the install of the download from Box or Mediafire and we're all done??  Your instructions are unclear.  Please explain a bit more if possible.  Thank you.

Yes, but it's not a replacement for the Live Update, you should use it:

- After a Live Update

- ONLY if you suspect you might be affected by your local cloudflare node still not update, which can be usually noticed if you see files being downloaded over and over, even if you run the Live Update twice in a row.

Only files which are not supposed to be always downloaded, because those that are, are labeled in the updater text windows as "always downloaded", so you shouldn't worry about these.
