I tried the patch last night. First, I was pleased that now you can crab your way in for a landing, and you DO lose some airspeed by crossing up the ailerons and the rudder.
Then I went up to fight a bit, and it felt like this was a double-edged sword. The old logyness and lack of responsiveness was back. Banks *in the direction* of the torque got the stall horn blaring and that jostling started, just as bad as rolling away from the torque; just overall unpleasantless in mild flying. The first 1.04 seemed to ameliorate that somewhat.
And, even with the engine throttled all the way back, and starting with a slow to moderate speed (as in, just after a steady climb), I could not maintain a shallow dive onto a con (in a 109F or G). It was ready to lock up in compression in just a few seconds.
Further, despite all the deadband and dampener I've put in, I just couldn't get smooth level flight unless I engaged autolevel. Making passes at a buff, my nose was slewing and bucking all OVER the place (which combined with the jerky animation made quite an adventure of the eventual gunpass).
