So is it solved with 7.1? There are contradictory statements. Thanks and geets

Ah, didn’t realise this was the beta channel, my mistake, excuse me. As for the reason i’m not in the beta? I didn’t break it. I’m not the reason it got broken. I can’t fix it. Being a sanitation engineer, cleaning up tonnes of other peoples messes each working day, leads me to believe i’ve done…

My bad, I thought you were working with Flying Fries going by your “We’ve encountered an issue…”. No worries!

I’ve noticed the Hornet also not having as much thrust now. Couldn’t even hit mach 1.5 at 46k feet with low fuel load on a cool dawn flight over Poland. Really hoping the drag fix is coming soon.

Definitley not fixed for helicopters. I’m exhausted from explaining the problem so much but in short, it’s still wrong. I’m on Beta with all assistances off, turbulence set to realistic, live weather and time. Helicopters still balloon up 50ft from a hover for no reason. Native and 3rd party.

Did you install the new beta released today?
