Leg 235, Friday Harbor, Washington via Oregon to Orofino, Idaho, USA
DAY04_14.PLN (12.8 KB)
World Update 4 day, slow connection, lot of stuttering, which slowly cleared up later in the evening. Server load does seem to make a difference on local performance. Some odd changes to the wheel grip, the plane jerks a lot more while touching down, not gradually gaining grip anymore, rather instantly. No problem, the new super grip made it easier to land on a narrow bridge with crosswind
