FS2Crew’s Ultimate Ground Crew X (UGCX), released a few weeks ago, has received yet another update based on community feedback and bug reports. The new update is free to all users, but considered by the development team as a “required update” and UGCX will not function without it being applied.
The update fixes numerous reported issues such as a performance issue when loading the scenery cache and also issues with the PMDG 747/777 when doing a long pushback. New features have also been added including a “Stop Pushback” option and also “Disable Tow Plane Commands” to allow compatibility with gliders and WAMA. Furthermore, there has been the added option of suppressing the use of the MUTE button for users of UGCX and FS2Crew at the same time.
If you’re looking to buy UGCX, then you can do so from the FS2Crew website for €39.95.
Here are the full installation instructions for those looking to update.
