Yes, I agree.
It seems that they were concentrating on more crippling issues. I think they decided to pass on physics issues this time around and deal with more obvious bugs like crashing into invisible objects and planes with landing gear set up incorrectly. I'm also happy to see that you can now sit on objects instead of sinking in. Not a terribly important thing to be able to do, but a fun diversion.
If these updates continue (and they claim that they will and at this point I have no reason to doubt), this sim could really shine.
