I find the whole update thing confusing.  I'm pretty much brand new to P3d.  Never had a hotfix before.  Do I just do the client?

You can.. but it is recommended to do all components..

sorry to hammer you with questions.  But how does that even work?  A complete re-install?

That AFD file update sounds very interesting. Hopefully, it will stop AI planes landing on runways that have been specifically configured for take offs (and vice versa).

Whereas I have no wish to spoil your fun confining your interests to the UK with ORBX True Earth GB, it has to be said that the land mass of the UK is small by comparison with Europe let alone the rest of the world. It seems prohibitively impossible to do justice to the whole planet with the same technology that we, let's face it, occasionally struggle with today even with the best efforts of ORBX. We need radical change in the way that the world is portrayed and delivered to the sim which MSFS may well deliver for us all. Whether or not LM will rise to the challenge with a worthy contender to Microsoft's offering remains to be seen. But as we are going at the moment, we are only really being delighted by a well-produced experience of a mere fraction of the Earth's scenery which, continuing at the present rate of development and with the current ESP-based software, could take many years to cover more significant landmasses than we are currently experiencing (I for one think ORBX's Honolulu is brilliant, but let's face it Hawaii is but a dot on the planet compared with Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas).

Have a feeling it “will” come at a cost!!!

DIS is a standard technology/protocol for distributed military simulation platforms. It is part of the ProPlus version of P3D.

This time the changelog doesn't distinguish between ProPlus and the standard version, I find it confusing too. There are a few items that only apply to ProPlus.

Best regards

I guess 4.6 won't be coming that soon. Wouldn't they just wait and release 4.6 instead of doing HF2?

.dot releases are for substantial changes and features. Hotfixes are for ... well, fixes.
