Ah yes, I was certain there would be delays (history is often an indicator of the future, after all ). The large amounts of great things to come in 4.10 is bitter sweet: the awesome parts are, well, awesome, but it makes the wait more of a tease than if it was a minor patch.

Only yesterday did I see the update about radio navigation and major upgrades to cockpit instruments regarding navigation. I found the 500mb version video showcasing those functions too. This is the most exciting thing to come, with the new chassi stress and individual propeller pitch on axis (aaand radiator on a single axis).

Navigation improvements will make it both easier yet more complicated to navigate on full realism settings. Since most flying, even online, is not being engaged in combat but just getting from A to B, this should make those journeys so much more interesting. Interesting to learn that the German heavy fighters actually get a radio compass with moving AF Antenna (not sure where that antenna is located on the aircraft) which the single engined fighters have to do without.
