• Cessna Citation Longitude: Regression AP FLC and VS mode
• Cessna Citation Longitude: Autopilot climb and level off issues
• Boeing 747-8 Intercontinental: Autopilot switches to FLCH mode instead of catching the glideslope
• Boeing 747-8 Intercontinental: Autopilot switches to VNAV mode on take-off even if VNAV is not used by the pilot
• Airbus A320neo : PFDs shutdowns randomly
• The Tour of Japan discovery flight will be greyed out in the main menu if the Beechcraft King Air 350i is not installed
• A new install on a different install folder will only download the mandatory content and will require a reboot (non mandatory content can be downloaded from the Content manager)
