Yeah, I'm also working through my stuff trying to get it upto speed with the latest release- there are certainly a few things that have changed.
Interesting you fixed the crash by removing static vehicles
Timing changes- yep
Changed fuel consumption can also be an issue
Low fps/stutters when near many (~20) twin engine planes is worse than 1.05 and thinning them out seems the only way to retain fluid play
Another thing i'm finding:
Clouds- I know they are unsupported but the icing level has been increased (even when set to zero) so i's no longer possible to climb through clouds. AI/autopilot will tho
.
And custom skin assignment on other planes now seems to work properly
