About the status of the service pack
30 Jan 2020

doodlebug (developer)

"Honestly, we had this out to our alpha buyers in September, so we thought we were genuinely across the finish line on release. My point being: this is very complex sim and predicting what bugs will show up and how long it will take to fix them is not very easy.

We had planned to have the SP1 out around now, but new issues have arisen, some of which are to do with filtering discrepancies in imported airport data, others have been revealed when fixing one function allows a rarer type of procedure to be attempted, which in turn, exposes a new bug.

The good news is that while the tougher problems are being worked on, the features we planned to add in the SP are pretty much finished.

Rest assured that we are all working hard to get the HF/SP out ASAP.

Thank you for you continuing patience."

There are files included in the Panel folder of this build in a folder named LegadyRender - these cfg and DLL files will support SLI alternate frame rendering. Copy them in and over their standard counterparts in the Panel folder if you need AFR.

Thank you all for your help testing and we look forward to hearing your feedback on the final pre-release build!
