The Flight team would like to thank everyone in the beta and give you an update about the bugs we’ve fixed since shipping the beta update – many of which were found with your help.We’ve reviewed over a thousand bugs and as of noon today, we’ve fixed 759 bugs. You can check out some of the improvements we’ve made at the bottom of this post. If a bug that was filed hasn’t been fixed in this initial release, it has been reviewed and will be considered for a future update. Please continue submitting any bugs you find during the last few days of this beta.As a special thank-you for all their help, we’ll be giving our top contributors all the day 1 DLC for free: the Hawaiian Adventure Pack, the Maule M-7-260C, and the North American P-51 Mustang. We’ll also be giving out the Maule and the P-51 to a wider group of beta contributors. The e-mails containing the tokens for the final versions of the DLC will be sent out over the next two weeks. (Note: Due to the impracticality of doing so, we will not be able to address individual queries about whether you will be receiving free content.)Please note that, as before, we’ve determined contribution by considering a wide range of factors, ranging from productive participation in the forum to filing, commenting, validating or voting on bugs. Thanks again for all your help!Updates & Improvements for the release version of Flight:Gameplay

Thanks for that update.

Thanks for that update.

Just for the record. "We" asked for and received permission to cross-post such information from the beta forum. Just thought I'd throw that in there before anyone asks about it! :Nerd:

Excellent! This place will become a center for new Flight followers and enthusiasts I think. They should be arriving from here on in.

Nice that they think of all the FSX flyers.
