Ein neues Update ist raus:
[28DEC19] Important Update for NGXu - Grab it with your saturday coffee/tea
Today, 04:12
Captains,
After we pushed build 2.91.0041 of the PMDG 737NGXu Base Package to you on Christmas Eve, a few users popped into support to complain of an unusual CTD event <gasp> and a few others to say that RainMaker had apparently stopped working for them.
We were able to reproduce the CTD event pretty quickly (it involved some of the changes we are making in preparation for the update to LNAV and the new F/D logic, but of course was on the VNAV side of the house... ) as a couple of the reporters were able to tell us precisely what they had done to trigger it. (Thanks! Replication steps are always welcome when we go hunting for something obscure.)
The CTD even has been resolved and is cured with the update we pushed just a few moments ago.
Additionally, a few users (not widespread- but enough to cause us to go looking) reported that Rainmaker magically stopped working in both the NGXu and the 747 right after the NGXu was updated to 2.91.0041. Since both products share the same dll, we went digging and we were able to resolve the issue down to an obscure dependency upon a visual studio reference set that some users appear not to have installed, but of which most customers DO have installed.
Both of these issues have been resolved in an update that we pushed at approximately 0400/28DEC19 via the Operations Center 2.0.
We strongly encourage you to update your NGXu installation prior to your weekend departures!
Sorry for the hiccups- but these were pretty significant and we wanted to get them resolved for you before the weekend.

NOTAM: In the OC2.0 updater, it appears that it is doing some bogus math on how many files and how big this update is when comparing the numbers for 2.91.0041 users. Ignore that data for now- we'll look into fixing it for an OC2 update next week. It is just advisory data and has no impact on the success of the update itself.
Thanks everyone! Hope you all had a nice holiday and enjoy the weekend!
