Update Confusion

Post by 503kento » Sat Dec 22, 2018 10:07 pm

I purchased the beaver back on 1/27/2018 from Just Flight showing version 170803 but I see the sticky with "latest installer" dated 12/29/2017 for version 171229. So, I'm confused as to why the older date but higher version?

Also, isn't MVAMS supposed to tell me when an update is available?

Thanks in Advance,

Kent

FWIW, If I go to Just Flight to re-download, it is still offering the 170803 file.

Hello , Checking through the released installers, MilViz_DHC-2_Beaver_171229 is the last produced , Its my supposition Just Flight hasn't posted the updated version, Thank You for bringing this to our attention , we will attend to assuring the last version is made available to them .

Thanks Chuck for the clarity, I’ve updated to the latest now.

Wasn’t the elevator trim indicator reversed supposed to have been fixed? It’s still visually backwards but functionally correct.

Am I confused on the MVAMS app? Isn’t it supposed to tell me when and update is available?

Hello Kent , the MVAMS update feature would be looking for a feature update indication but there are exceptions , I would need to install back dated versions to test this and am on the road visiting family over the holidays unable to access the machines to look it over .

Assuring the versions at all resellers is historically time consuming and the same phenomenon affecting my predicament exacerbates delays in response times , the appropriate authorities are aware and assuring these are made current.
