Captain Sim 727 v2.4 Update Available

Captain Sim has released a v2.4 update for their 727 Captain add-on. The big news is that they are bundling their Weather Radar with this one, too, now, as they have previously done with their 757 and 767 products.

Full list of fixes is here.

I am a bit disappointed with this update for a couple of reasons:
  • They did not fix the pitch control issue in the autopilot for non-FSX Acceleration users. Captain Sim has promised an updated fix in the knowledge base for v2.4 soon. I wish they would just fix the installer to detect whether Acceleration is installed, and copy in the correct file.
  • I wish they would do something about the autopilot 'overshooting' the radial when you are navigating using VOR radials. The current effect is something like a damped sine wave. I usually engage heading hold when lining up with a radial until it gets close enough to grab the radial.
