This patch is super underwhelming to say the least.
It’s mostly a random collection of aircraft bugs that should have been fixed months ago, some liveries, and one menu that has been discussed for 6 months now.
No major updates to the Garmins which are modeled terribly. No major updates to Live Weather which still has many documented problems.
I expect that as a simmer I will get new content every other month that is in kind with the eye candy new content that the gamers get in the world updates. This is nowhere near that amount of content. So many feedback items not addressed.
Well, we got contrails and some strange features which can slightly affect performance to simulate small deviations for individual aircraft. All while many of us still work around big issues with autopilot, wind, systems etc.
You mean other than the weather UI change, the ability to set a custom CG per flight, and a host of other things? You can now set the gust speed as a value, rather than a percentage of the overall wind:
The “flap issue” which required a hot fix was caused by introducing incomplete components of the improved flight model. Do you know if the last hot fix introduced the complete improved flight model or just reverted the prematurely added part of it.
If not in the hot fix was the flight model improved in the SIM update 3 - there is nothing about it in the release notes.
One positive note so far though - typically within minutes of the patch launching, there are multiple posts about slow and / or stalled downloads, update errors, inability to start the sim, and a bunch of reports of newly discovered bugs.
