Just trying to get back into the saddle after not playing for 2 years. Nothing particularly exciting, but the glass is new to me...
Update 1:
1) Fixed disproportionate rear cockpit height.
2) Softened suspension and reduced tire grip for easier landings
3) Removed fuel from upper wings to reduce weight (5000lbs -> 4000lbs)
These changes do not make much of a visual improvement, but massively improves the ability to land the aircraft. Approaching slowly enough (85mph +/- 5mph @100% negative trim) will even allow you to land on an aircraft carrier with arresting cables.
