Fernbus Simulator - Update 28 Hotfix 2 - Release

TL;DR: This hotfix fixes the issue with the steering misbehaviour notification.




This hotfix fixes the infamous steering misbehaviour and is just 1kb in size but what took so long was figuring out how to add this hotfix to the current public build of the game because we cannot create branches of the game’s binary files. Thus it does not change the version number of the build.
