October 2024 delivered targeted internal improvements in flybywiresim/aircraft to boost performance, reliability, and release safety. Reverted a perf-degrading change in C++ logging and integrated the fmt library to improve logging macros, with macros eliminated when unused. Implemented a risk-reducing feature gate by temporarily disabling the MSFS-PLN sync option in the A380X EFB settings until full integration, safeguarding operations and enabling staged rollout. Documentation for fmt was removed due to build issues to preserve CI stability.
