Both the Pilatus PC-9M and the Fokker Dr.1 have undergone a cosmetic update by applying all the appropriate shaders. In both cases this was the reflection shader and the bumpmap shader and in case of the PC-9 also interior cockpit glass shaders. The Fokker Dr.1 is close to finished and the Pilatus PC-9M will get the 'detailed Cessna C-172P' treatment in the coming months. | Both the Pilatus PC-9M and the Fokker Dr.1 have undergone a cosmetic update by applying all the appropriate shaders.

The new H130 has a modified instrument panel, stronger engine, modified doors on right side and other small changes to the fuselage. | |||
'''Several new liveries''' for the new model were added including a beautiful '''Air-Zermatt''' version. | |||
Updates/additions for both variants include a full autostart capability which is enabled after 5 flights (previous 15), an '''improved FDM''' for more stable hover behaviour, '''Co-Pilot''', '''Passenger''' and a '''Patient''' model in EMS variant. Passengers and new '''Luggage''' can be added by click animations and even Skis can be put into the baskets. '''MP behaviour''' was improved, Tooltips with feedback like fuel amount, refuelling via mouse-wheel and fixes for FG 2017 were done. | |||
