Version: 1.4.144
Date: 12 October 2024
• Improved: Disable the FO Walkaround option by default to avoid FO freezing during Preflight.
• Improved: Create the “q-dsn-aicopilot-module” folder as a Symbolic Link (SymLink) in the MSFS Community directory during installation.
• Improved: Animated FO uniform textures.
• Improved: The “fs2crew-cmd-center” and “fs2crew-data-proc” folders are now created as Symbolic Links (SymLinks) in the MSFS Community directory.
Version: 1.4.138
Date: 10 August 2024
• Added: New logic to reconnect to the simulation after a “0xC0000B0” error code is detected, meaning the SimConnect client has been disconnected.
• Improved: The kill/reset FO pose function has been updated. The “Kill All” or “Reset FO Pose” button should return the FO to the “rest position”, and you should no longer need to restart FS2Crew or the simulation.
• Added: “FR TIME WAIT” option, which means “Frame Rate Based Time Wait”, in settings to revert to the “old way” when the animated FO is reading the checklist, which, for some people, might be faster. By default, this option is CHECKED, but to revert to the “old way” it must be UNCHECKED.
• Fixed: Copilot slowly spells each digit/number when reading back V speeds and flight numbers during FS2Crew ATC requests.
Version: 1.4.72
Date: 20 July 2024

• Fixed: The Install Copilot console program has a bug that deletes the “q-dsn-aicopilot” directory by mistake from the MSFS EXE.XML file.

• Fixed: Stop activating DESCENT MODE on any Flaps change.
