Captain Sim 767 v1.3 Update and 767-200 Released

Captain Sim has just released the v1.3 update to their 767 Captain add-on. It is most likely a bugfix update, although it is unclear exactly which issues this one addresses at the moment.

Furthermore, Captain Sim has also just released the 767-200 expansion model. The base product (767-300 model) is required for this. No word yet on when the freighter or military variants are out, but presumably, they will be next. I imagine they are also hard at work on the 767-400, which will feature a radically different flight deck from the -200 and -300 models.

I have just picked up the Captain Sim 767, which includes their Weather Radar product. I will do a mini-review soon, including a side-by-side comparison with the venerable Level-D 767-300ER. Should be interesting to see how the two stack up!

In other Captain Sim news, supposedly another update for the 757 is due this month as well. I sure hope they fix the issue in the FMS regarding loss of terminal procedures at large airports. Hard to fly correctly out of KDFW when half the terminal procedures are missing from the FMS! At any rate, I will definitely give it a mention here when the 757 update is ready.
