Not yet ,I think it's still the beta version, but the public release is supposed to be sometime in March.
 
Beta?..Its allready in my Windows update list!!

Dl is very slow......so Ill wait with this update.


:salute:
 
Installed it on Win 7 64 Ultimate. I did some quick testing and I did not encounter any noticable adverse effects. Will do some further testing but chime in if you guys have any further results testing.
 
Finally dl and installed SP1, fired up FSX ....and like Anneke, no difference so far!

Cheers.
 
Havnt noticed any effect on FSX however for the first couple of days after my last update CoD was acting rather strange, seems to have sorted itself out now though.

You cannot see any differnece or effects from this SP1.
Like Microsoft stated,it`s only a collection of all released Hotfixes and patches,nothing else.
Who allready updated regularly,doesn`t need this SP1

Installed SP1 today on my Win7 64bit system. My PC is updated regularly

Windows update came out with a download of 74mb so I suspect there's a little more to it.
 
SP1 broke the Aerosoft Huey activation. Had to reactivate it. I think SP1 brakes the aerosoft soft protection.
 
I kept my win 7 up to date and installed SP1. Gained about 4 or 5 gigs of disk space.
Can't tell yet about anything else.
 
Installed it, and everything went FUBAR!

Nothing but blue screens, thank you very F&**^&* much Microsoft! :wavey:
 
After a full day of testing I noticed one major issue.
Each time about an hour of two flying after firing up FSX my framerates drops unusually low.
My guess is a memory leak somewhere. Could be a coincidence, but before the update I could fly a single session for hoooooours without any fps drop. :rocket:

Cheers,
Hank
 
Well that was a long day well spent trying to get my computer back in working order... :banghead:

Somehow my antivirus screwed up the SP1 install and vice versa... Took me a while just to roll back to pre-SP1, a few hours to make back-ups and removing the AV was harder than it is to remove an actual virus! Just made another attempt to install SP1 and all seems OK so far..
