QualityWings has issued a hotfix to their Ultimate 787 Collection, which saw the highly anticipated and long-awaited release for Prepar3D v4 around 2 weeks ago. The hotfix brings a long list of fixes and updates to the modern airliner simulation, some of which were issues causing crashes to the desktop for a significant portion of users.

The biggest issue that is marked as being resolved, is the NTDLL.DLL CTD (crash to desktop) that was attributed to use of the weather radar in the aircraft. This will no doubt come as a massive relief to users who were being troubled by this bug and having long hauls ruined by the use of the radar.

Another large annoyance fixed in this update is the autosave FMC messages. These have been removed and will no longer build up on the FMC each time an autosave is made.

Some lesser annoying issues have also been corrected, such as the GE engines appearing on Rolls Royce models, some cockpit textures being adjusted, some sound bugs corrected, and some data being altered for integration with the sim. A full changelog can be found below this post.

After an initial false-start due to a corrupt upload, the update is available now for owners of the Ultimate 787 Collection. Users have two options for updating – a fresh install or update only – with links relating to both options available through the QualityWings Facebook page.
