They're pretty much touching on all aspects of the simulator with a single update. If they keep this up for at least a year, we will be looking at a much more healthy and complete simulator then.

September 10, 20205 yr If they can fix the autopilot issues and control sensitivity, that would be perfect! Jehan Kateli
September 10, 20205 yr Wow pretty comprehensive list of updates for close to a month release. I really like these updates and really they do listen to the community, despite some complainers. Good job Microsoft and Asobo! 👍 AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D, 64GB DDR5 6000MHZ RAM, RX7900XT, FreeSync 165hz 1440p display
September 10, 20205 yr I hope they fix the glass cockpit FPS issue but I guess we will see. i5-12400, RTX 3060 Ti, 32 GB RAM
September 10, 20205 yr Seems like they are fixing a lot in a single patch. No doubt we will discover new bugs but considering the scale of the project that's to be expected. Also, some pretty great pictures as usual.

September 10, 20205 yr Wonder if there might be some liveries at last? Maybe thats what: Aircraft updates meant? 😐
September 10, 20205 yr I am hoping for the addition of a mouse yoke (as all of the previous versions had)
