It's an adjustment to give the perception of correct scale in VR.

"– the usual correction of other minor bugs"

Could we have more details please?

Its a reasonable question. It may not matter much to have an elaborate change list for every yaw string relocation or cloud flicker fix, but some bugs and/or fixes can have an impact on servers and competitions. So I think its worth mentioning that the F8 bug should be fixed, but what PitR may be most curious about: no changes to my knowledge about scoring or CSV output.

Its also worth making clear that the memory usage problem on huge sceneries like cascade range is fixed for users running 64 bit windows (and probably 32 bit users running /3GB if that is still a thing), but regular 32 bit windows users will still need to adjust their visibility and tree density settings to avoid problems.

Thanks for the clarification about 64bit systems.
That is really great !

(But if i saw it right (it was very late yesterday) the GPU is still using only 4GB ??)

Condor is still a 32 bit app. But under a 64 bit OS it can now use all 4GB address space instead of 2GB for a normal 32 bit app.
The 3GB ram on the GPU I believe is a 32 bit directx limitation, but is not relevant, even in cascade range with max options, condor uses just ~0.5GB of video memory. Maybe you can push that closer to 1GB on some maps and with max MSAA, but you will never get close to 3GB.

Wow, another really great update. I'm a VR dork now so pancake simming is dead to me but 6dof head tracking for those that still use monitors/projectors is a huge deal. There are a lot of subtle visual cues we get from even the restricted head translations when confined in a cockpit.

The 1-26 is here, and already some'quality of life improvements for VR support and the ability to make larger maps plus whatever bug fixes got in... this is a solid patch. Thanks Condor team... your hard work is noticed and appreciated!

Well, he wouldn't have to ask every time if you did. :P

People like the complete lists to know what to expect. You're missing the opportunity to detail your work.

The 1-26 doesn't seem to have the ability to use the F keys (F2, F3 etc.) to get different views. Is that normal?

Yeah it's normal 1-26 drivers can't afford F keys :p

Are you sure external views are enabled ? Check the NOTAM tab
They might have been disabled by a previous task

Finally ,the 1-26 is here.

The new patch must clean up some things and compress others as I have more disc space.

I did not realize that the brake is applied , on the 1-26, when spoiler control is full open, like real aircraft. Thought you had to use period key. Very nice.

Should be the same at least with the K-21 :-)
