I've been working all week on fixing bugs for a 3.0.5 patch release. Here's where things stand:

• Working on the missing aircraft bug introduced in 3.0.4. I'm on the trail of the problem, but the current issue is that I'm having a heck of a time reproducing it. Anyone who can get two pilots together and can reliably reproduce this problem will be in my debt. Just contact me if you think you've got a reliable way to reproduce.
• The problems people have had with hangs and severely low frame rates has always been a mystery to me. But I just switched to a new PC and I'm now getting it pretty consistently. So I'm optimistic I should be able to figure something out on this bug.
• Found a problem with the positions that are sent between pilots when within one mile. Basically they have been getting ignored due to a bug introduced just priot to the release of 3.0. Ouch--pretty embarrasing. So when 3.0.5 comes out you should see even smoother movement when close up to another SB3 plane.

I'll keep you posted as more develops.
