Part of my efforts with DVA2006 is a refresh of the DVA fleet. There are a number of new panels and other enhancements, as well as finally fixing the LZMA compression error that all of our sound sets suffer from. This is going to involve repackaging every installer, so if there are bugs or issues, please let me know.

You can either respond here, or in the issue tracker at golgotha.deltava.org.

Cheers!

Luke,
Quick question: since afv pilots log in both dva and afv sites with their own user name and passwords, can we implement a small change where an afv pilot can access to dva fleet lib. and download the planes that are available to delta pilots and other way around.
As an afv pilot, I would like to download 757-767 but I cannot and there may be some dva pilots want to download airbus'
Just a thought

I noticed that in my boeing 737 that I fly on occusions, that when landing the red light that has a saying of "don't think" or something like that allways goes on when landing and it gets annoying, since sometimes I am still in contact with ATC on approach and that thing goes off makes it hard to understand what ATC is saying. ONly problem that I saw.

IF there is already a fix for that problem please let me know.

Thanks

It says, "Don't sink" which means your sink rate is to much and you need to add a little throttle to keep it from sinking so much.

*WARNING SHAMELESS PLUGGING BELOW*

Luke, I would suggest you incorporate my FDEs for the Boeing 777-300 and 777-300ER in the installers (If you haven't as yet). Also, Adam Gaweda's 777-200ER FDE. I know I'd talked to you about including it before, but never figured out if you were using it or not.

I would suggest you make them easy to change as well... I'm hoping this panel I'm working on is good enough to include in the installer.

You'll notice that there are a lot fewer Web Site issues on the DVA2006 site, and we're starting to see a lot more ACARS and Fleet Library issues. There's a reason. Your name is on one of the issues. Send me the FDEs. I know you did this before, send them again.

Cheers!
