Down the rabbit hole with the FCS Lancaster

[WarHorse47]

I have a bad habit. I read too many books on military aviation.

During our recent trip to Victoria, B.C. I picked up my latest book, "Lancaster" by Leo McKinstry.

Naturally when I got back home I took my FCS Lancaster out of the hangar and took a few flights. The first thing I remembered as to why it was in the hangar in the first place was the size of the various pop-up panels, which I resized this morning.

While researching the issue on the panel sizes, I found various threads on the release of the patch. Problem is that I've had not issues with the Lanc so I don't even know if I need the patch or not.

My FCS Lanc was purchased from FSPilotShop on 4/25/13 well after the release of the patch in 2010, but there is not indication if the install file was patched or not. Last modification of the install file was 12/26/2012 but that still doesn't tell me anything. Each of the mdl files for all the models have dates of 10/30/09 and 11/3/09, respectively, which is before FCS released the patch.

Again, I haven't had any issues with the FCS Lanc but I have no other information as to whether or not the patch will improve or enhance my install.

Any thoughts, comments or suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi ya traveling you ole Warhorse , the patch - what that did only was to take the reflection of the yellow ball from the pilots armour plate that reflected onto the inside windscreen whilst flying along .

Hi ya', Ian.

Yep, I still go the yellow ball. Guess I'll run the patch after backing up all my cfg files.

Thanks.
