[6BL Bird-Dog]

This work has been done and will be implemented once the GFX patch has been tested fully.

Not only are we fine-tuning plane performance, we’re making some very deep changes to the underlying core of our physics code.
We are completely rewriting collision and landing gear, while also making other elements of the flight model more complete and precise. Control surface behavior and reaction has been significantly improved. Refined transverse velocity calculations in relation to aircraft performance. Made it possible to calculate different transverse velocity at different points along the wing. Improved pylon and loadout FM calculations. Added many new features to allow FM calculation needed in future sequels. Many of these changes have also entailed completely rewriting existing code.
And this is by no means a complete list!

We will probably get detailed info when the relevant patches are released . It seems a bit pointless to give any further detail now as any work done on the beta gfx patch after its release may mean going over what is ready to go in the patch after that.
