In 8.0 I had FPS 30-40 in area with much objects, but now in 8.2 I noticed it has dropped to 23-24.

Great update, fantastic graphics.

A few issues:

Still no 'show panel outside' to make vessel details as instruments show in F2 view.
A saved situation with anchored sailboats, furled sails...reopens with all sailboats under full sail, no longer anchored.
Don't see option to unclick 'land on objects' to permit passage under bridges, although it is discussed in text about update...is it off by default?

Great update. I notice that "gear" animations are now present. Will CTRL+A "Anim.x" animations make an appearance?

Leaving the scenario with the ramp open, I find it closed when I return to the game (meaning the animation reverts to its OFF state, and so does the gear - these two control the ferry ramps on this boat). I also found that under the Options menu, Graphics settings, Visuals, the tickboxes for Show tooltips and Show Waypoints are always ticked after launching the game. I always untick them but apparently, this is not saved with the scenario. No big deal, but would be better if the simulator remembered these settings.
