Just me again - Question: Is the client supposed to abort the flight when one makes a Scenery Library change? Mine just did.

No, but it might lose contact with it if the sim is away doing something for a while. In that case it might abort the flight thinking you have turned off the sim.

I am about to release 2.4-rc5. I wanted to release a 2.4.0 stable but there are still a few issues relating to MSFS that are not resolved, and I think they seam to be related to bugs within the SimConnect interface within MSFS itself, so I am going to hold off for another week. So the changes in this version are:

- Autosave is now off by default, if you want to use it go into the clients options and turn it on.
- Support for FSUIPC7 interface for MSFS.
- Changes to try reduce in flight aborts when the client loses contact with the sim.
- Changes to try to improve performance within MSFS.
- If the distance to your destination is farther than the range of your aircraft a 'Technical Stop Required" warning is shown in the clients information screen.

Known issues
- Autosave in MSFS does not work and is currently disabled.
- When using FSUIPC the client can not read the current sim rate or if the simulator is paused.
- There are well documented performance issues for applications using SimConnect such as FSAirlines and FSUIPC, this is a problem with MSFS itself and we will have to wait for Asobo/M$ to fix it.
