CAPTAIN OF THE SHIP USERS (COTS)

NOTE:
For those who are using the discounted Captain of the Ship Upgrade, the Service Pack 1 below is REQUIRED to be installed first.
For those new B377 customers using the full Captain of the Ship version, this service pack is not required

Eh, that latter link takes you to topic "Captain of the Ship Update RELEASED" even though you titled it under "NON-CAPTAIN OF THE SHIP USERS".
The "non-captain of the ship users" who still use accusim should click on your first link, not on your second link.

If I understood both of those links correctly (correct me if I'm wrong), the collection of packages to be installed are:

B-377 (get it from the store)
B-377 Accusim (no longer available from the store)
B-377 Accusim SP1: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/34075223/update ... im_sp1.zip
B-377 Accusim SP2 (only for non-Acceleration): http://dl.dropbox.com/u/34075223/update ... hotfix.zip
B-377 CotS on top of vanilla (get it from the store) or upgrade version on top of old Accusim (get it from the store)
B-377 CotS SP1: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/34075223/update ... update.zip

If full version of CotS is purchased to upgrage from vanilla straight to CotS (without Accusim installation package that isn't available anymore), there's no need to update for the older Accusim (SP1 and SP2) but only CotS SP1. (New customers should of course remember to check the bundle box from vanilla B-377 purchase page to get a discount that won't be available if bought separately.)

Ah, ok, link is fixed.

We tried to make this as simple as possible.

Just go to the appropriate link based on whether you have COTS or the original 377 and follow those instructions.

If you have any other questions, please ask and we'll answer.

Scott.

Now both links point to the same thread that deals with non-CotS updates and there's no link to CotS SP1 update at all. You should just have swapped the titles around, not change either of the links as you need both links. :p

Until it's fixed, here's the COTS SP1 update thread which lost it's link from the original post:
viewtopic.php?f=23&t=26292

whiic,

Thanks for posting that link, they are now sorted. BTW, are you all set?

Scott.

Now that the opening post of the sticky is corrected people can find what they want a bit easier... not that I had any actual problem finding the CotS update even with the links being in incorrect order. I just had to browse through some updates I already had installed to find what I hadn't. Since it's now sorted people save those few minutes of time when they seek for correct updates.

And, yes, I've applied all patches (with the exception of not running Accusim SP2 as I have FSX Acceleration) and they're working properly. I used the update order I posted earlier.

Hello everyone,

I'm planning to buy the B377 plus the CotS expansion.(even though I'm quite a bit intimidated by it)
What's confusing me, what's the difference exactly between the CotS update and the CotS UPGRADE?

Thanks in advance.

Icarus

One is the upgrade from the old accu-sim pack, the other is the COTs package.

Hey Lewis,

thanks for your reply. I'm still not sure what I'm supposed to put in my shopping cart. The B377 obviously, and AccuSim comes with CotS?
The main question here is do I need to buy the CotS upgrade, which is around 20 bucks?

Sorry for asking silly questions.

Icarus

No question is silly

If you dont have the original accusim package for the 377, you need the CotS full version, which is here: http://www.a2asimulations.com/store/ind ... ucts_id=45

So, to sum it all up: you need the Boeing 377 in your basket, and the product I linked you to above (if you DONT have the original accusim pack).

Hope this helps,

P.s. Yes, CotS comes with accusim!

Hi. I apologize if this question was discussed, but my English is not very good, that would read the forum. : (

I bought a 377 and accu-sim. I have files: wos_b377.exe and wos_b377_v2_full.EXE

I've got to put this update (wos_b377_cots_1.1_update)? Thank you!

ps. Hello from Moscow!

I solved the problem

I'm reinstalling all my A2A planes and have got to the last one, the B377, and now I'm totally confused lol
I bought it a while back along with the Accusim addon, then later bought the COTS upgrade.
Whats the install order for that with the updates? (I'm now using FSXAcceleration).
Is it like this?

B377 Stratocruiser
B377 Stratocruiser - Accusim

wos_b377_Service_Pack_1

Accu-Sim Captain of the Ship for the B377 (UPGRADE)

wos_b377_cots_1.1_update

Sorry for being a bit dense (this is why I need checklists lol)

Hello Russos,

I also bought the 377 a few days ago and as far as I know it's already up to date. You only need the 377 + AccuSim Captain of the Ship.
I still don't know what the AccuSim Captain of the Ship [UPGRADE], which can be purchased in the shop, does or if it's really necessary for new customers.

That's as much as I can tell you about it. There are more experienced users (pilots) on this forum.


So long,

Icarus

EDIT: A2A Staff!! I forgot to login for buying the 377! Your shop told me it created a temporary account. I'm afraid now my extra downloads are lost, because I used my wifes paypal account. The 377 doesn't show on my customer account, of course.
