1.3.1 hotfix now available - 1. Oit temp reconfigured to fix the engine performance issue in beta 1.3. 2. Tablet only draws from battery when unit on and new hotspot to replace battery in flight. Located on the top left corner. 3. Glass interior updated again to fix the strong finger prints and scratches. 4. Autopilot updated for minor issues. Nav mode in VLOC. Also made some improvements. 5. Improved the autopilot config settings for pitch control and glideslope control. 6. Minor tweaks in the FLIGHT_TUNING config.

I heard Q2 for Stage 2 and it was still on course.

The first thing I did was to change InitialZoom from 0.203053 to 0.305053. It was a bizarre choice of default camera position I think and I was expecting it to be changed in this first patch.

Email received.

We are waiting for the email. I will probably wait for tomorrow morning before getting it. I only bought this yesterday and it took forever to download it then. I think when the update is released it's going to go crazy.

Might be useful to see the version number against my order history, the way Just Flight do.

As much as I will acknowledge that this is a truly exceptional piece of work, I know right now that I just wouldn't fly it enough to justify the price tag so I will save for the Tomahawk and most likely whatever else you have coming down the line. This may be the only 100% Just Flight add-on I will pass on but still watch the videos in awe.

I agree. Once I corrected the cockpit view and took her out my jaw hit the floor. It's well worth the money.

Donate it to charity

We use to hear it every night at about 9pm breaking the sound barrier above us in Cornwall. I remember passing one in a field (probably wasn't actually a field but it felt like it) somewhere on the road between Cornwall and Essex when I was a child visiting family. We stopped and somehow were allowed to climb onboard and have a tour. It was horribly cramped and we were all a bit disappointed. It's a pass from me.

Mr 'Clear Prop' himself -

Just flown around the Phoenix area where I would normally get quite noticeable stutters while panning around the cockpit. It is markedly better, I'm really pleased.

But ............................ looks like it will be worth the wait!

Disappointing - this was due to be released on Monday.

Seems global to me.

For third party addons bought outside of the Marketplace go into the aircraft.cfg inside of the relevant aircraft folder and remove the liveries you don't want. (You might have to choose notepad to open them with first but that won't damage anything) You'll have to check the thumbnail in the relevant texture folder to make sure its the right one. The main 'Texture' folder should not be deleted as it will probably contain files that the other texture folders refer to but deleting the texture folders you don't want can save quite a bit of space. Make sure the order in the aircraft.cfg is kept sequential - '0' '1' etc because if you have three liveries and delete number two then your aircraft.cfg could go from '0' to '2' which means '2' would never show up in your hanger. Keep a back up until you are sure you have removed the ones you meant to! I've done this for everything except the Kodiaks where I've only removed a few of the lurid ones and kept the rest. Usually I only keep one.

It's definitely better, if not quite eliminated for me. Something has been changed somewhere. This is not the mesh related stutter btw which I understand is still an issue for some but the general mystery post SU8 stutter some of us were suffering from.

But that wouldn't necessarily improve start up times. Doesn't seem to matter how GB's I add or remove, it takes the same time to load.

I have just flown from Bilbao to Barcelona in my C337. I had no idea Spain was that beautiful. A stunning flight.

Somebody please make a video. I don't think I've come across a new release without one for years and as good as this sounds, I'm not spending 30 quid for a addon without seeing a video or two first.

I was having more stutters after SU8 but am having less stutters after WU8 (which is possibly down to 512.15)

I don't know, I've flown around quite a bit today. Spain and Portugal of course as well as some of my familiar places and things just generally feel, better.

Is it me or are there suddenly less stutters? Like many I was getting stutters at low altitude or on the ground but as of right now they seem to have largely gone. Either there was some hidden tweak in the World Update or updating my NVidia drivers earlier has actually made a difference. It's still not perfect but, it is definitely better.

Now available.

Cannot wait for Italy/Malta now.
