There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

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
