[crimplene 634]

Yes, I can download it.

[The Moose 1,177]

Downloading now.

[crimplene 634]

1.23 GB in the store.

[crimplene 634]

Downloading now, too.

I could keep you posted. 🙂 667 MB right now. No, 738 MB. No, 868 MB....

[Tuskin38 6,507]

Doesn't seem to be live on Steam yet.

 

S7 Airbus A320neo livery has been added
KLM Boeing 787-10 Dreamline livery has been added

Nice.

 

Canadian National Vimy Memorial    France

Double nice

No mention of those new AI plane models, I guess they weren't finished in time (or forgot to mention them)

22GB 😛  Do we get back tree draw as before.....

• Fixed reduction of tree display distance that was caused by smaller tree sizes

Isn't 1.28 GB rather small for a scenery upgrade?

That's barely the equivalent of one NZA airport scenery.

[Langeveldt 281]

Any news on tree LOD coming back to us? 

[RabH 43]

22.13gb downloading now...slowly!

Thanks CB, I've been trying to update for the last couple of hours, the moment I take my eye of the ball, it's released.

[ryanbatc 12,857]

Honeycomb 10 degree fix nice (I dont have it but annoying that it even existed for so long)

And they fixed the altimeter bug that's been happening since RTM.  Yay
