EFB tablet will now move between the front and rear cockpits automatically when the corresponding cockpit is selected from the camera menu
'TOGGLE PEDESTAL LIGHTS (red)/TOGGLE TAXI LIGHTS (white)/TOGGLE CABIN LIGHTS (blue)' and 'SET PEDESTAL LIGHTS (red)/SET TAXI LIGHTS (white)/SET CABIN LIGHTS (blue)' control assignments can now be used to toggle the Red Arrows smoke colours

The drop tank fuel feeds automatically through the wing tanks and to the engine. Make sure to check the total weight on the EFB as it's easy to exceed the take-off and landing weight limits with two drop tanks and full fuel!

Radio power issue when starting from cold & dark - fixed
Main altimeter drum now increments by 50 feet
