Some interesting points ... but honestly - nothing special.
No any words about many main issues:
- shadows problem (from clouds on for example mountains),
- fix for shadows of clouds and terrain (both on in the sim),
- big FPS drop with open menu in the sim (Alt),
- about GUI (now it's still illogical for user)
- seasonal textures problems (like for example in FTX AU SP4: http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/91304-australia-ftx-au-sp4003-and-prepar3d-24/ )
- frozen textures of lakes (again FTX Vector for all users of P3D v2.4 http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/81478-some-water-black/?hl=+black++water)
- ATC transparency,
- I'd like to see info about fix for effect on the water behind the ships too,
- overscaled bridges problem from long range view (sametimes)
ect.
btw.
It looks like TacPack for P3D is very soon:
- sensors,
- NVG.

Well, at least it looks like the ship wake fx / contrail issue will be solved: "Fixed a bug that would cause all extrusion effects to draw with a visible sawtooth pattern". As for the sensors/NVG: I thought you need the professional version to use it (which already has its own weapons stuff, something like TP).
The focus seemed to have been on the Simdirector, which has a lot of changes. That really has become a powerful tool.
Also, some new features in the SDK:
+ Added ability to manipulate visual effects during runtime through the PDK interface (<--- I'll have a look on that one!)
+ Updated documentation regarding supported pylons, objects, and their interactions (<--- That also sounds interesting! )
Cheers,
Mark
