The website www.fscaptain.net now contains FSCaptain version 1.00.00 There is no Fixpack yet; it will appear when the first fixes are necessary. Which will probably be in the next few days, so keep checking back.
There is no cumulative Fixpack. If you have a copy of any Beta version, you should download the version 1.00.00 and install it. Your flight records and settings will not be disturbed. However, if by any chance you have made any changes to the seven default airlines or any of the default aircraft characteristics files, they will be replaced. If you have added new airlines, schedules, or aircraft definitions they will still be there undisturbed.
There is one new feature I should point out -- the Exceptions.cfg file and the Options.cfg file in the FSCaptain\Config folder. Both are explained in Appendix 4 of the User's Guide; briefly the Options are where you should put any DISABLE= penalty disables, and Exceptions allows you to list airports where the "off-taxiway or runway" penalties and events will be suspended, because as we all know some airports and places in FS are glitched -- this provides you a way to handle those.
It's a good idea to backup your FSCaptain folder before you install the new version -- in fact it's a good idea to back it up every so often so that if your hard drive goes belly up you don't lose all your flight records.
Many thanks to all you testers who helped in the beta!
