Lockheed Martin hat für Prepar3D V4.5 den Hotfix 2 veröffentlicht. Das Hauptaugenmerk liegt auf der Verbesserung der VR-Umsetzung. Wobei für viele sicherlich die Behebung des fehlerhaften SSAA Antialisaing für PBR Objekte interessanter ist. Zum Update wird, laut Lockheed Martin, eigentlich nur der Client benötigt, da er die meisten Fixes beinhaltet. Vielen Dank für die zahlreichen Leserhinweise!
