I had installed the clean windshield textures. Looks like they reverted back to the used condition. Will have to reinstall them when I land. 

Yup, that's normal. When you installed the new version, your old files where overwritten with the new ones, and the default are those.

I really like it and I really rate Just Flight as a developer, excellent responsiveness and a great quality aircraft all in all 👍

Update 0.2 is pretty good.  Textures are improved.  The flight model is still a bit jittery for my taste but is improved.  I have an issue with the copilot.  When turned on there is two copilots overlapping each other.  When off there is still one copilot.

I had that, I closed MSFS and re started it. Gone.

Also just did in flight in strong winds...live weather northern ireland and hand flown it, very smooth not twicty at all.

Completed first flight.  The altitude hold and elevator trim is broken on my end.  Impossible to trim when landing.  Altitude hold results in violent vertical oscillations.  Flight model still very jittery.  How do these issues make it past testing?

Not seeing this, am on a hundred mile flight in the UK on autopilot and it is rock steady.

Yer the flight I did was rock steady, trimed for approach, all good.

Maybe because its an issue just in your end? 🤔

That's why critical thinking is so important in life: If i'm the only one complaining about something while everyone else is experiencing the exact opposite, the logical path i wold take is to debug on my side, not to assume "How do these issues make it past testing? "

What i would do?

1- Try step by step to reproduce a flight that im seeing in youtube and compare my results with the video
2- Maybe i'm having joystick issues? noise? key binding issues?
3- Can i reproduce the issue on every flight?
4- Try a basic flight without any flight plan loaded: Just take off and try the autopilot modes.

I short, if everyone is having a good time while i'm having a bunch of glaring issues, i will assume that the problem is in my end until proven otherwise.

Are you experiencing this with any other aeroplanes, or just this one? And if you are only experiencing it with this one alone, have you tried a few things such as re-installing, checking there are no binding clashes or other options which might be the cause?

As far as beta testing goes, the testers can only report what they find, and if they find no problems, then they won't report an issue, whereas if lots of testers had been experiencing you issue, it would surely have been addressed. As others have noted, if all the videos you see of the thing and all the reports from people on the forum are not indicating this issue, then it does tend to point to something on your end.

Altitude Hold could result in violent oscillations due to trim trying to stabilize if aicraft is set to ascend or descend and trimmed accordingly.

Elevator trim takes a little getting used to, but it´s not broken by any means. Jittery flying comes as a result from Live Meteo wind changes, turbulences etc..

What's the Idle RPM with the patch ?

[Aristoteles 471]

Around 800-1000 in my case.

I'm still seeing very poor textures on the A pillar and headliner in the new patch. I'm playing in 4K and this texture is pretty jarring compared to the default aircraft. I've attached a photo of this compared to the TBM. All settings on either high or ultra.

Do you have the "modern" flight model selected in the options menu?

I’m not sure if this is a windup up or not?
