August 10, 20178 yr For anyone on the ropes who is interested in the Community 9 update, I made a quick and dirty clip. I for one am more and more impressed...
August 10, 20178 yr Night lighting in general is much more improved. No more pitch black. I would really like the taxi and landing light ground illuminations - soon I hope.

You mean you saw no difference in the visuals? Because if you are looking for the update installer, you won´t find it. Steam just download and install it right after the download finishes, you don´t have to do anything. 9800X3D@H150i // Msi RTX 5090 Trio OC // 64GB DDR5 6000mhz CL30 // 2TB + 1TB Nvme Dell 27" 2127DGF - 1440p - Gsync - 165hz Thrustmaster TCA Sidestick Airbus // TCA Quadrant Airbus // TFRP T.Flight Rudder Pedals // Logitech Flight Multi Panel
