FS2Crew has shared a small update regarding three of their product line: MaddogX Reboot, FSLabs Airbus Edition and also Ultimate Ground Crew X (UGCX). The information shared earlier today on Facebook gives just a minor glimpse into what the community can expect.
First, the Maddog X reboot has been updated to version 1.9. This new update, which is free, corrects a few issues. The full changelog comprises of two entries:
- Flap problem solved when using select Dial A Flap values for T/O.
- Fuel pump issue in climb fixed.
The update can be downloaded now for users via the FS2Crew website.
Moving down the list of items, FS2Crew also spoke about a public beta for the new FSLabs Airbus Edition. The first public beta went live a few days ago, but a new one has been issued. Dubbed Public Beta 2, the new update includes additional voice commands, changes to commands such as START THE APU PLEASE and also some fixes reported by the community. The list of changes can be found below and if you’re a user, you can opt to participate by heading to the forums for download links.
Finally, Ultimate Ground Crew X is coming to a development close by the sounds of it. The team are looking who can “write perfect English, French, Spanish and German” to send a support ticket to help them write the manual for the product. If you’re interested, you will need to submit a support ticket with your details.
You can read the Facebook post from FS2Crew here. We’ll let you know if we hear any new information from the development team.
