As mentioned during the Microsoft Flight Simulator developer Live Q&A a few days ago, Local Legend #1: Junkers JU-52 has been updated. The new update addresses a number of issues pointed out in various forums and communities online.
Asobo Studio and Oliver have worked on addressing a number of issues with all variations of the Junkers JU-52. Some examples of those fixes include panel lighting can now be adjusted, tooltips for the elevator trim is now in alignment and various texture issues have been addressed. Some autopilot issues have also been addressed.
Whilst there are a number of fixes, there are a few known issues with the ‘floats’ variant of the Junkers JU-52. This includes the Center Panel light knob not adjusting the panel lights and the default position of the VR camera is a little further back causing clipping.
The update can be obtained right now for those who already own the Junkers JU-52 via the Microsoft Flight Simulator in-sim Marketplace.
