standard update process is via Skunkcraft updater utility.
or you are talking about different update(s)?

Me? Iām talking standard updates. The Skunkcraft utility is a fairly recent tool that VSL is using. Previously they used STA. Skunkcraft is better IMO because it isnāt forced; ie, you update when you want to.

its bit of schizophrenia with early access concept for me. I like the idea of having something early, but I am usually done with the thing, ie. lost interest, at the point it is updated to some solid state.
it happened to me with their DC3. I did fly fair share of miles with her across South Americas. didnt touch her since then even though she got big update recently.
maybe I will rediscover her sometime in the future again.
I share this disappointment. happened to me when I crewed both the VSL Tecnam and XF19. partialy also DC3.
so I am afraid its VSL thing not just some recent motif.
the same goes for AOA Sims. their cockpits look sterile even on pictures.
for the cockpits ādepthā visual simulation in XP we have Aerobask, Thranda / JustFlight, XTrident and the like.
btw I find supersonic cruising at high alts really relaxing 
never did that before, like when @BeachAV8R took a rides in X-15
I hope I could join you soon in the SR71. its on my wishlist, so hopefully xmas sales are around the corner.

Instructions for using it are now part of the documentation for any VSL model. Itās just a version checker and updater so that you donāt need to constantly check to see if your favorite stuff is in need of an update.

Makes sense. There is a revenue stream out there that LR have been unwilling to tap into but instead conceded to the storefront at ādot orgā. As long as the current ability to easily add models separate from the in-game master, itās a step forward.

X-Crafts Ejets is free
This is their original release E175/195 updated to 3.0 for XP12. It is not Ejets Family which is a more detailed version released last year. But hey, canāt beat free.

That looks amazing. Such detail.
Iāve got 2 hours in one! But I feel a little burned by my X-Trident AW139 experience. I donāt care to repeat it. Agreed, though, this one looks terrific.

thats X-Rotors AW139
this one is X-Trident, the same guys like the B412 or CH47, I think there is nothing to be worry about 
Oh Crap. Thanks! I got the Xs confused. Old man moment. X-Trident is the best. Moving onā¦
Crap again! There must be something about how Agustas are configured in X-Plane. Years ago I bought X-Rotorsā AW139 and found that the VR controls were reversed. I went a few rounds with the dev but he never seemed to understand my issue. To him, like most people perhaps, using VR controls instead of perfectly good joysticks is stupid. So I actually never flew the thing. Now, same exact issue with X-Tridentās AW109. This was not an issue with the Bell 412 nor the Chinook, his previous models that I own. Pretty model though. I just wish I had done some research before dropping 50 bucks!
I hope that you will have better luck with support from X-Trident. they are at least present at the xplane forums.
Thanks. He says heās working on it with his partner. The avionics work looks to be amazing.
109 is fixed! (Mostly). VR cyclic works in āRealisticā mode but is reversed in āErgonomicā mode. The cyclic throw is fairly small so ārealisticā is comfortable.
Collective is perfect. It flies quite like I remember.

good to hear that.
plus there is the new XP 12.1.0 beta already available which performs better on my hw than the previous ver. good to be able to fly XP12 again instead of XP11.
