This seems to have disappeared.

I know I was not the only one with the issue as it was mentioned by another user in the official Seastar thread.

Is what we are seeing here an issue with how aircraft are patched during the sim update process?

This is the strange part. I updated the sim the evening the patch came out. I didn’t do anything with the Seastar that evening.

The following day, with a fresh launch of the sim, I saw the issue with the probes.

I had another issue that I thought a reinstall might cure, so I reinstalled the sim. After that reinstall, I no longer see the issue.

Are the aircraft not getting patched correctly or is outdated data being retained somewhere in the user directory that maintains the streamed data?

Something is not right here.
