either very incomplete changelog or a few to go… ;/

• Toggle to mouse view, adjust the seating position via the arrow keys and the mouse will jump to the upper left corner and/or dissapear.

Summary

• occlusion culling is slow so that objects and trees pop in only after looking in the direction for 1-3 seconds. (this is on buildings, vegetation, nightlights and texture resolution!)

• completely different set of textures for differen LOD loading (depending on flightlevel)
• “Tree draw distance to the horizon” - stright up a lie. (you can only and to en extend archive this with setting LOD 400-600 via config)
• massive amount of floating lights (for example at LOWI)
• missing autogen, or wrong assets/achetype even missing entire airports (EGPH)

Summary

• Stuttering and framedrops when panning
• mouse/trackIR freelook stutter/acceleration due to input smoothing (bug?)

• blocky pixelated waterreflections AND smal repeating water pattern
• pixelated clouds
• AP on GA Aircraft seem to just not work regardless of use of WTGarmin mods
• Cessna Longitude AP swaying left and right at higher altitudes
• dents and grooves in the ground
• flooded bridges and harbours
• icing even with disabled icing.
• handcrafted objects floating/jumping + invisible hitbox
• scenery/airport objects floating
• low bandwith usage and photogrammetry bandwidth warning breaks game (despite fast and reliable connection)
• Shimmering oversharpening on trees
• General degredation in AA (ghosting artifacts)
• Colours, lighting and bloom are still too bright/washed out in SDR - looks like a cartoon now to such an extent I avoid flying during the day unless it is cloudy

Summary

• Ground textures often seem blurry especially in the distance (more tham before)

• Night lighting has a sepia mask look to it in SDR
• B747 / B787 Taxi issue’s (won’t turn left or right)
• B747 CTD after attempting to load flight plan
• A320neo autopilot, sway left/right
  A320neo autopilot, not following routed flight plan
• Multiplayer - random disconnects and reconnects
• Simulator FPS decrease’s after an hour + of flight.
