New plane? That I think is a typo lol.

“We remind you that the last Flight update was released this week, and brings a wide variety of improvements in the overall performance and stability of the simulator, in addition to more aircraft, expansion of textures in 4X scale, and base balance in the controls.”

There certainly was a game update. Other than that its good to hear they are looking forward. Need to fix current issues though.
