what is going on????? the last version can not use the hud. At the same time, the loading data is still incorrect. The displayed MZFW is for the 787-10 instead of the 787-9!
Max @TechnicalAssistantMZFW hasn't been modified just yet.
HUD patch will be given to Microsoft today. We didn't notice this issue until it was too late.

oh,well, let me hope for it. By the way, where can I find the perf calculator, I cant find it in the EFB
Francis @LeadDeveloper2025-10-31 20:12:54.880ZHi,
for now use the Simbrief data, it has a calculator or use the FMC preflight calculator located in the TakeOff page.

The new update seems to have broken GSX it says that it can't read the aircraft type even though the profile is installed correctly
- Max @TechnicalAssistant
Hi,
please update your GSX with the new file

For some reason this update has moved Qantas to RR Engine type - which is very much not correct...........?
- Francis @LeadDeveloper2025-11-06 01:06:21.255Z
This has to be fixed immediately. We'll send a fix next week to Microsoft. Thank you for letting us know.

Hi Scott,
We didn't patch this but we found the issue and reversed it. On the next patch it will work correctly.

This time is good to go. And in GE engines.Hi, I have checked the Qantas one is still on the wrong engine variant and still missing some parts of the livery. Can you please confirm this is yet to be added on the recent updates? Many thanks
- Max @TechnicalAssistant
This was not added on the current update. The update will be uploaded to Microsoft next week.

The livery of Aeromexico also was removed on this update?
- Francis @LeadDeveloper2025-11-06 01:07:57.224Z
The hot fix was sent on Monday bringing back the Aeromexico and other aircraft. As it turns out, the marketplace system is under maintenance and I'm unable to give it the green light for release. I do apologize for this.

what about the other efb update? wasnt that supposed to come ???
- Francis @LeadDeveloper2025-11-06 01:09:22.172Z
Hi Pedro,
The new EFB is with Update-5. Since it requires the a list of elements to be included, we can not send it with INOP buttons. Everything must work.
You'll know when it's released.I apologize for the wait.

Hello, how do i remove the copilot in the new update? thanks!
- Francis @LeadDeveloper2025-11-06 01:10:20.903Z
Hi,
With this EFBv1, you won't be able to unless I squeeze in a button for it. But the EFBv2 has a toggle for copilot removal.- MMarkus Myrberg @Markus
Alright, i’d be curious how far out the efb v2 is? I can wait its okay just noticed there wasn’t an option.
- Max @TechnicalAssistant
There are some issues with the lighting effects.
It's because all models are on the exterior of the aircraft (it's a mod, and we don't have access to the interior), and we can't contain the new light effects.
Plus, there are some elements that need fixing.
I think Francis is going to try to add the toggle on the EFBv1.
- MMarkus Myrberg @Markus
Adding it to the v1 would be brill, thanks

Hi Dev team.
Since every new update, custom liveries won't load. Is there any way you can prevent this from happening? Because it takes time to re-do all custom liveries with every new update. Thanks!
- Max @TechnicalAssistant
Hi,
This will be the last time we make these changes.
We honestly apologize for this.Did you download the new paint kit with the new model locations?
- PIn reply toLeadDeveloper⬆:@pilotoMirekMurorz
Hello,
I think that there is still issue with identification of airplane by NewSky app. Today I tried to do a flight with NewSky using 787-9 RR and can't stsrt flight as NewSky popup error that aurcraft type is mismatch _BA789RR instead of B789 like in base type in simbrief even if I used Bravoairspace prifle. Would you be able to take a look at this or maybe I'm doing something wrong? Thank you.- Francis @LeadDeveloper2025-11-15 20:54:51.482Z
Hi there,
Did Newsky update their package to work with the new changes?
The folders are _BA789RR not BA789RR.
The main folders have an underscore.
Plus the lead developer at NewSky told me it was fine (_BA789RR).
So he'll have to update his systems because updating mine will damage the Dreamliner in everyway.Can you please show me a screenshot? I don't have the program installed.
- P@pilotoMirekMurorz
Thank you Francis for quick reply, much appreciate :) Please find screenshots. I also checked DC of NewSky and inturned out that names are still not change in NS app. So apologies for confusion, should go to NS DC for the first place.
- P@pilotoMirekMurorz
Hello,
Dev of NewSky app updated aircraft on its side so now can confirm that it is working as expected :) - In reply topilotoMirekMurorz⬆:Francis @LeadDeveloper2025-11-18 00:36:00.014Z
Thank you for clearing things out. Makes sense.
