Please Test

• High-load map visuals (night + large airport + multiple aircraft + trails/contrails): confirm no new artifacts in taxiway/runway/map lines and that very thin lines look smoother than before.

26.4 Hotfix 1

Improvements

• ATC vector menu keeps “Send” as the first option.
• Checklist UI has been redesigned as a striped table. Each step now has a checkbox to mark it complete and an eye button to focus the camera on the related cockpit control.
• Checklist steps that take time can now show an “in progress” state with progress text instead of appearing stalled.
• Camera jog behavior improved for instrument/panel views: the jog lists instrument views as a single vertical column in cockpit order (overhead first), while the top cockpit map and edge pulls keep the full cockpit layout.
• Instrument view edge pulls are less likely to switch views by accident: slow drags past the edge now spring back unless you push well past the stop (arming the pull) or flick. When armed, the destination hint turns orange and haptics confirm the action.
• iOS purchases: improved Restore Purchases reliability
• Airbus A32Xneo family: adjusted “whale” and skid sound behavior to better gate these effects, including a short inhibit period after using reverse thrust.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a crash on Metal devices
• Fixed aircraft level-of-detail (LOD) popping when rotating the camera around an aircraft at a constant distance/zoom.
• Fixed jetbridge docking at diagonal gates to avoid incorrect or crossing bridge-to-door assignments.
• Fixed LNAV manual capture on long legs after restoring a flight (including Direct To and Activate Leg restores) so the aircraft captures the active leg instead of turning away from the route.
• Fixed a crash that could occur when ending a flight.
• Airbus A32Xneo: reverse thrust no longer shows MAN TOGA or triggers takeoff roll guidance indications on the PFD.
• Airbus A32Xneo: fixed brake annunciator behavior and autobrake cancellation logic so autobrake can cancel correctly when using cockpit interactions.

Changelogs are posted on https://infiniteflight.com/changelog/beta

Improvements

• Reduced memory usage and improved texture loading in cockpit.
• Airbus-family aircraft with NEO soundpack: Added a cabin chime when the landing gear transitions between up and down (leaving or reaching downlock).
• Airbus ECAM: Cabin vertical speed readout is now stabilized near the target pressure by rounding to 50 ft/min steps.

Changelogs are posted on https://infiniteflight.com/changelog/beta

Improvements

• Fixed sky and environment lighting below the horizon so colors and lighting look correct when looking downward.
• Autopilot pitch-rate engagement now keeps the captured elevator demand when engaging out of trim, instead of fading it away.
• When engaging IAS mode directly, the initially selected altitude is now chosen farther along the current climb/descent (matching ALT mode’s projection).
• New installations now default to on-screen flight controls during onboarding (without changing existing users’ saved control preferences).
• The virtual texture disk cache is now fixed at 1 GiB, with the cache size setting removed.

Bug Fixes

• Flight data menus now require a continuous hold. Dragging out and releasing no longer opens the menu, and early releases no longer browse or select items.
• If the device is low on storage, startup now pauses on a Retry prompt until enough space is available to initialize the virtual texture cache.
• Multiplayer contrails are no longer erased after network position corrections. Instead, a new contrail segment starts and the previous one fades naturally.

Please Test

• Flight data menus: Try to open a flight data menu with a long press, then drag outside the item and release. Confirm the menu does not open, and that early releases do not browse/select items.
• Startup on low storage: With limited free space, confirm startup shows a Retry prompt, stays blocked until space is available, and successfully continues after freeing space.
• Loading screen timing: Start a flight in multiple aircraft and locations and confirm the loading screen remains visible until the user aircraft appears with textures ready (reduced initial texture pop-in).

Changelogs are posted on https://infiniteflight.com/changelog/beta

Bug Fixes

• Fixed camera panning being too fase
• Smoother multiplayer turning while on ground
• ATC stall when ATC messages are empty

Please Test

• Camera: Pan the camera in multiple views and confirm movement feels consistent and matches the pre-regression timing.
• Multiplayer: Observe aircraft taxiing through fast turns with irregular position updates and confirm heading motion is smoother with less jitter.

• Reduced ATC Center conflict warning workload in busy airspace to improve performance.
• Airbus A220-300: Fixed floating in replays.

Bug Fixes

• Seeking in replay now restores jetbridge connections and poses at the selected time, including while paused.
• Fixed missing sunlight and cast shadows on some Mali GPUs.
