Reply #1 - Apr 24^th, 2018, 9:15am There are a couple of important fixes included in v1.60 so I'd say it is suggested to upgrade...BUT you must FIRST check you're not going to lose compatibility with aircraft/panels/whatever you're using (1.60 is NOT backward compatible).

Reply #3 - Apr 26^th, 2018, 10:23am It's quite simple actually: Are you using any aircraft/panel integrated with CIVA (like the FsLabs Concorde for example)? If the answer is yes then you will have compatibility issues :'(

Reply #5 - May 2^nd, 2018, 8:41pm OZ Flyer, I'd suggest you to proceed as follows: 1) Make a "backup" copy of the CIVA subfolder 2) Overwrite ins.gau and civa_id.dat 3) Delete all .ISD files 4) Try 5) If you notice something not working then "restore" copied CIVA folder Good luck!

Reply #6 - Dec 30^th, 2020, 6:57pm In case anyone is wondering, it seems to work fine with the RFP panel and HJG’s 727 panels in FS9. No issues Not sure what the ‘important updates’ are as it seems to perform identical but either way, it works well.

I have the old version working wonderfully in my RFP747 v2. Is the .cfg file going to be the same or will I need to rework my cfg file as well if I upgrade to the new version?

And hello to all! I hope everyone is well and healthy. It has been many moons since my last login.

I only changed the folders but kept the CFG file the same.
I personally wouldn't bother though. I dont see any difference at all. I think its more to be compatible with P3D or something like that.
