Before Downloading
For the best experience please run Windows Update. There have been some significant changes if you haven't done this for a while
and testing has shown that these updates are required.
Ensure your Windows clock is synchronised to the internet - which can be done from the Control Panel
or by running the included ClockSync.bat (run as administrator).
Special Release notes for Version 1.600
Some people are experiencing random crashes when displaying the Galaxy Map. I'm still working hard to understand the cause of the problem. You can disable the Galaxy Map in a number of different ways, such as removing the GalaxyMap role from the MFDConfig.xml , or adding ShowMap=0 in the [GalaxyMap] section of MFDCougar.ini. The prefered method is to NOT assign the Galaxymap role to an MFD display (new feature for version 1.600).
If you are new to MFD Cougar Display, you can skip the rest of this notice.
Version 1.600 upgrades your database and will delete any current missions added by Elite. If you absolutely must have these missions re-added, then you'll need to locate the missions from the journal file and paste them into the Mission Explorer (Mission Optimiser tab).
A new MFD_Layout.XML has been shipped, so please backup yor existing customisations and paste them into this new file.
