Well I'll look forward to this though I can't find anything on it. Thanks - you've now got me set for constant App Store visits. Very productive!
EDIT - OK, got the update now, 9.06. Time to review the new
Four areas to fly in, 3 new; So Cal, Hawaii and San Fran, though disappointingly, no Golden Gate Bridge to buzz

Yeah, I noticed that. The terrain in San Fran was pretty lacking. Also, where is Chicago? I have all 3 (XPlane, Heli, and Airliner). XPlane was the only one that received an update yesterday, but I don't see the Chicago environment on there. Sucks, I wanted to buzz my apartment.
X-Plane on the iPhone is great, and I love how they keep churning out updates, but sometimes things seem a bit rushed. They keep breaking things. This time, the elevators don't animate and the Columbia seems to have...airbrakes! (Which aren't visible but affect the lift). The planes they added recently in .05 were not what I was expecting; they're cool but somewhat redundant, and the detail isn't on the same level as the Cirrus- the gear just clips through the fuselage without so much as gear doors.The new scenery is nice but maybe a bit bland, and the screen is getting a bit crowded with all the views and now a pause button. Just to whine a bit more, the water (that's now much more prominent) isn't quite legit. I want mah reflections!
The flight dynamics rock though, the most fun since .03. Planes seem to slow down to a crawl with flaps down now, although I can't tell if this is accurate or not.
You guys remember when Airliner came out and only one spoiler would animate? Well it's fixed in .05 and they seem to have made no mention of it at all... Neither have the retards in the App Store. There was one comment about that and about eleventy bajillion going, "WUT NAO X PLAIN SUX I WANNA MORE PLANEZ ITZ TOOOO HARD11". I wonder what they'll break (and add) when .06 Airliner lands (ha, ha).
What do you guys think about the barrage of updates?

That's just Austin Meyer's (the X-Plane author) style. If you've owned the desktop version, you'd be used to it
With the desktop version, you can get an update per week sometimes!
