I have just uploaded two new updates. If you were fully up to date you are now running version 1.20.

AS_F16-Fighting-Falcon_UPD_ALL_to_121.exe this one will update all existing versions to the latest 1.21 versions
AS_F16-Fighting-Falcon_UPD_120_to_121.exe this one only contains the 1.20 to 1.21 changes *duh

It all was pretty complex but I think all should be well now. Do take care that both updates overwrite the aircraft.cfg files so it you have additional liveries or other mods installed you save your aircraft.cfg files!
As always the updates are in the FAQ's / Updates section. Don't use these updates on pirated copies, could end badly.

[Mathijs Kok]

Let me know if you prefer a softer set of sounds for the VC. During testing some people asked them to be loud and some softer. We now got a set that is pretty audible.

[AstraJens]

I have Download the Update from 1.20 to 1.21

When I start the Installer he ask my for my email and my Serial Nr.

But i have the Box Version !!!

And now?

[Mathijs Kok]

And now?

That one also came with a number, just insert your email address and you serial.

[Robert S]

Don't use these updates on pirated copies, could end badly.

Wow - I am surprised you would even give them the benefit of this heads up...

[AstraJens]

I insert my eMail and my Boxed Serial Nr.

It will not work !!!

I have the Box Version of F16

[JamesChams]

Mr. Kok,
I think your trying to get on my "good-side" again; its working....
Thank you (Merci!) for finally making this update.

Also, how can I get both loud and soft VC sound sets to see which I like best? Is it a tweak in the sound.cfg files or another download?

Merci!

[mr-otin]

Do take care that both updates overwrite the aircraft.cfg files so it you have additional liveries or other mods installed you save your aircraft.cfg files!

Hi Mathijs,
I have also take care about the redux lights in the cfg file? It would be nice, the right lighting, I (we) are using (standard / Redux) can choose, when to install each update. It's hard to change everytime the aircraft.cfg from standard to redux lights by this mass on liveries !

[MenendezDiego]

Very cool!

So what exactly do I have to do to insure my repaints won't be over written/that I don't have to re-input all the repaints?

Diego

[Finn]

Backup You aircraft.cfg's for each version.

After installing 1.21 You need to take the [fltsim.XX] section for each of the repaints You ahev added an insert it to the new aircraft.cfg for the relevat version.

Cumberstone I know, but there is no way around this.

Hello TigraJens,

If its still fails sent an e-mail to support@aerosoft.com and mention this issue.

[Mathijs Kok]

Hello TigraJens,

If its still fails sent an e-mail to support@aerosoft.com and mention this issue.

The new update files that are now available will work with both the boxed and download versions. Sorry for the mishap.

[Mathijs Kok]

If you find the sounds too loud for the VC you can replace them with the set you find here. The sounds are half volume (except those of Bitching Betty).

Merci, Mr. Kok!

I just installed the v1.20->1.21 update and It did modified the aircraft.cfg files so I need to reinsert repaints, Shockwave lights, my launchbar/tailhook settings, etc. which is a bit of a pain but for this addition of VC sounds, I won't complain.
And, the ASC did load correctly. I tried a few sound tests and it seemed to work really well; I will also try the lower volume sounds and see which I prefer, Thanks a bunch, Gents!

I will finn and thank you for the response. l will let you know how it goes later. question off this topic but still same problem i also purchesed the Seahawk Jayhawk do you know if those updates have been revised. Had same error message for them as well.

[Finn]

For those of You with the "oh it´s not my plane" error, please ensure that You install the right update.

If You have the Boxed or download version and never has updated it with the 1.20 patch, then download: AS_F16-Fighting-Falcon_UPD_ALL_to_121.exe

If You have updated Your boxed or download version to 1.20, then download: AS_F16-Fighting-Falcon_UPD_120_to_121.exe

If Your download version is 1.00 then go into Your account and download the original installer again, cause this is version 1.10.
Un-install Your 1.00 version and install the newer 1.10 version before updating with: AS_F16-Fighting-Falcon_UPD_ALL_to_121.exe

To find out what version You have, go to:

\FSX main folder\Aerosoft\Falcon X\ and open the Readme.txt file

Under History, You can see what version You have installed by looking at the last version number changelog.

Welcome to the forums!

Just download the updates again, the problem has been solved in the new one.

[JLE01]

Hello Mr. Mathijs. Thank you for your replie, Yes i did redownload and all worked. makes for a very nice addon to my FS aircraft. I thank you and all at aerosoft for the good work. Very nice job. Both on this the F16 and the Seahawk/Jayhawk. Both are well done. I hope to do more buisness with you again here soon.


Thanks again Jerry

[VinFlyer]

Thanks for this update, just what this plane needed. Now that we've got Bitching Betty, how can we turn her off? She can be annoying some times... If I'm correct there's a switch on the Audio 1 panel for that. In FSX most of the Audio 1 switches are inop so perhaps one of those can be used for that?

[Finn]

I think it is safe to say that no additional buttons or switches will be added - sorry !

Doing that would require new VC model files for all versions.
The work to do that is total out of proportion for adding just one switch.

I don´t hope that Bitchin Betty yells at You constantly, cause that would indicate that You either is flying towards the ground or have massive system cautions all the time.

well, when flying a demo display it's a bit annoying but overall with normal flying I'm glad Betty is making a bit of noise once in a while

[tepreston]

I am trying to find the up date (AS_F16-Fighting-Falcon_UPD_ALL_to_121.exe) you mentioned and logged in to the site. There are no places that list the f16 fighting falcon in the FAQs to download this. I like your program and want to reload it on my new computer. Thanks if you could give me some help with this.

Tom

[M2769]

Tom,

Have you been able to find the 1.21 update yet? If you click on "FAQ/Updates" on the Aerosoft website (or go here: http://aerosoft-shop.com/support.php ) and log in with the e-mail address you bought the F-16 with, it should appear in the "Products:" dropdown list. After selecting the F-16 and clicking "Continue", I see the following options:

-> F-16 Fighting Falcon Paintkit
-> Update 1.20 to 1.21
-> Update all versions to 1.21

Clicking on the last one gives me a link to download the AS_F16-Fighting-Falcon_UPD_ALL_to_121.exe file you're talking about. Do you see all of that after logging in?

Marcus

[Hammerfly]

When I click on the product list dropdown, there is no F-16 listings of any sort. How do I find the downloads. I know it must seem like I'm an idiot or something, but this isn't my first rodeo. Maybe I'm just getting too old for this stuff.

[Shaun Fletcher]

Hello Hammerfly,

It wont be in that list till you register it.
Please see the thread here on how to obtain updates.
