  • The tooltip for the Elevator Trim and Hohen-Flosse gauge are now always in alignment.
  • The tailwheel has been adjusted so that it’s less likely to float above the ground when the aircraft is on the surface.
  • “Zu” and “Auf” now fit within their space on the passenger cabin doors.
  • Breaks between the control surfaces and their connecting rods have been addressed.
  • The landing struts below the aircraft becoming broken / fractured when airborne have been addressed.

Known Issues

• Floats
  • Wake effects are not visible on the water when using Livery 1 and Livery 2.
  • The Center Panel Light knob in Livery 1 and Livery 2 does not adjust the panel lights.
  • The default position of the VR camera is a little further back in the seat compared to the other variants. This can cause the camera to clip into the wall when looking around.
