I applied your patches after updating my FG OSG CVS version and compiled it. All went fine without problems. Then I tried two multiplayer sessions at KSFO this (European) sunday afternoon. There was a lot of traffic and several logging in and out due to crashes. I flew outbound KSFO to the south and made a HOGE for round about 20 Minutes. Trying to hold my position and altitude and observe the traffic. Congratulations! There were still short framerate depressions which caused a little instability but always to manage, some pedal-work to get the nose into the wished direction and some collective-corrections - this is really great! And a big, big ,big difference to the "old" problematic behaviour when I found myself in some uncontrollable flight after a 3 second pause. Not to mention, further flying and a smooth landing at KSFO hangar - ALL WITH REALLY A LOT OF PEOPLE JOINED! And as I was also active with local flights without the mp server connected I can say that until now I made no negative observation with this patch. This is a big step forward, I'm going to log into mp again as the fun-factor is back again. A further report will follow after some more testing-time, I hope that I can validate what I reported today. Thank you very much!
