I have the new patch for one hour now and;
1/ you can now put skins on the planes! Hurrah!
2/ the weather in the FMB are still bad! (Overcast with breaks does crash the game).
3/ the Tiger moth is more easy to use on the ground.
4/ I did not try for a long time so I cannot say if fps are better but it is like it is.
5/ I think FAA is not better...
