RELEASE NOTES 1.14.5.0

Some packages in your community folder may not have been updated and, as a result, may have an unexpected impact on the title’s performance and behaviour.
Please move your community package(s) to another folder before relaunching the title if you suffer from stability issues or long loading times.

NEW CONTENT
FSX legacy liveries available on appropriate planes : Kenmore, Emerald Gold, Global Freightways, Orbit, Pacifica and World Travel
Contrails are now displayed on the player's aircraft (MP and AI are not supported yet)
New customization menu in the World map to further adjust the aircraft to perfectly match specific real world aircraft. The changes only affect the next flight and they are not persistent.
- Empty CG position : We can now have a different empty CG position, just like real world aircraft that all may have slightly different empty balance.
- Wear : We can now increase the wear of the fuselage to get a slightly higher parasitic drag and simulate older aircraft.
- Control surface limits : We can now adjust the maximum angle limits for elevator, rudder and aileron control surfaces to simulate the slight difference that may exist between different real aircraft. Check Type Certificate Data Sheet (TCDS) Information for real world aircraft control surface angle limit variation tolerance.
