Sounds a promising lot of fixes. As a non-Track Ir user (which is really awkward in this game) Im looking forward to the view corrections. Hopefully the default view is no longer 'nose pressed up against the windscreen".

Unfortunately it still doesn't remember your skin, fuel or ammo settings.

5. CAREER:
• Only one mission per day is possible now.

So that's the campaign fixed then. Yippeee!!!

It does seem to remember view settings, at least from mission to mission.
Do the Ai gunners seem less accurate, or is that just that placebo talking? It's just I managed to actually kill two two-seaters day and I never manage that.

is there a place in the neoqb forums to talk about the new patch? cant seem to find a official patch thread...anybody find it?

cheers

I've noticed that the "blue" instruments (altimeter and clock bottom right and left respectively) in the Se5a have been fixed,




But the aluminium exhaust pipes still do not look right to me. Am I the only person seeing this?

Can't say the MSFFB 2 seems to be fixed, I'm still getting stutter with my TrackIR.

Also ther still seems to be no fix for AA and post effects.
