Pegasus 2.0.8
Features
Beta updates opt-in: choose the Beta or Stable update channel in Settings > Updates, and switch back at any time.
Position reporting rewritten to be more resilient: reports are batched, sampled adaptively, and queued during connection drops then resent on reconnect, so a dropped connection no longer leaves gaps in your flight track. Flight events are recorded in more detail.
Refuelling is now detected and recorded as a flight event.
Fixes
Startup is hardened: if a required component is missing (a broken or incomplete install), Pegasus shows a clear message to reinstall instead of failing silently.
If a downloaded update cannot be installed (for example a security policy such as Windows Application Control, AppLocker or Smart App Control, or antivirus, blocks the updater), Pegasus now explains why and how to allow it instead of failing to start, and will not run an outdated version.
macOS and Linux now include the .NET runtime, so it no longer needs to be installed separately.
X-Plane (UDP connection): fixed a recurring frame rate stutter by reading detailed simulator data only briefly around each position report instead of continuously. Turning telemetry off in Settings now also fully stops that data being read from the simulator.
X-Plane (UDP connection): further lowered the frame rate impact of telemetry by reading continuously-streamed background data at lower rates, especially in cruise, while keeping the fastest rate for approach and landing.
