X-Plane 11.26 r2 is not very stable

With nothing to do on the weekend, I upgraded X-Plane 11, only to find that the latest version is already 11.26r2.

I didn’t see any new features in actual use, so I checked the official release notes, X-Plane 11.26r2 - Let’s Try This Again X-Plane 11.26 and WED 1.7.1 X-Plane 11.26 Release Notes

Looking at them, there weren’t any major improvements,

XPD-9355 - Aircraft position jumps by 1 DSF tile at scenery shift. XPD-9246 Updated translation files. XPD-9065, XPD-9292 Fix for renaming runways in X-Plane's vec_apt struct.
Maybe there were just more translation content, and some improvements regarding airport positioning. I don't know if the issue of runways not being aligned, which netizens asked about before, has been fixed.

For the test flight, I chose Gibraltar International Airport, ICAO code LXGB. Gibraltar International Airport is one of the few Class A airports in the world, and is famous for a public road crossing the Runway. On one side of the airport is Spain, and on the other is British territory. When there are no planes taking off or landing, general cars, pedestrians, and bicycles can all cross the Runway freely.

However, the test result was quite poor. Just after I completed a traffic pattern and touched down, X-Plane 11 crashed and exited abnormally, without even giving me a chance to take a screenshot..

It looks like version 11.26r2 isn’t very stable yet, so I don’t recommend everyone upgrade for now.
