Default RE: FSOne Patch confusion


ORIGINAL: CloudSkipper

Hmm. I installed it before calculating the checksums and flew the Voyager 50 without any difference that I could see. And I don't have any stats handy, but md5 is highly unlikely to give the same value for two different sets of code of the same size. I just calculated a CRC32 checksum using the ARJ32 compression utility; it also reports identical checksums.

Here is the paragraph from the website (http://www.fsone.com/Articles/HobbyWire.aspx#1075):
FS One has made a new Update/patch available. Their new V 1.09 is ready for download at this time. This patch should be installed to bring the simulation exe to Version 1.0.9. It can be installed over any version prior to Version 1.0.9. Please see the short article and explanation at the link below.
And the "link below" that it refers to only gives the download itself (from where I got my copy of the new one). Did you find more extensive release notes? Could you post them? I'm not necessarily doubting you or this whole thing... Obviously FSOne is suggesting that there is a new update available. I'd like to get to the bottom of this.

Cheers
That is indeed weird! The release notes I'm referring to came with the patch download...at the end of the install, it asked if I wanted to view the readme and I chose yes.

The 1.0.9 patch I downloaded back on 2007, did indeed work because my version number shown in the sim said 1.0.9.
