Great news, thanks Simeon!

 

Did you folks also work on performance improvements?  The Q400 is butter smooth in V3.2 now even in external views with extreme graphics settings with add-ons and heavy weather.  I was simply amazed at this wonderful aircraft.

 

Cheers, Rob.

Hi Rob,

 

She was butter smooth after the 3.2 update - but we went back in and made the proper adjustments for the sounds and camera views as needed, along with some of the other features that have bee implemented and or items that have been fixed.  On to the TRAINING Edition now as she sits in the hangar awaiting her first test flight hopefully on Friday....not sure if I'll stream it as yet.

 

Cheers
