Release candidate 3

Lighting:

The auto-exposure system is still being modified; RC3’s light levels are the same as RC1/RC2. Third party developers can get detailed notes on the state of lighting and how to update in the X-Plane developer lobby.

RC3 does change how brightness is managed in glass displays; authors should enter the real world max luminance of their displays.

We expect to be able to re-enable auto-exposure to improve the look of the sim under various lighting conditions next week.

Flight model:

Airfoil critical mach number improved. Transsonic airflow over wings improved, particular in swept-wing aircraft such as airliners. Developers can watch Austin’s explanation video for more information
