RealFlight G4 version 4.00.037 is now available as a public beta download. Keep reading for a list of the changes it contains.
This will not be the final version, and will not go public. We have a few more changes planned, but we want to take what we have so far and make it available to all of you as a public beta version so you can try it out. We believe this version to be very stable, although it has not yet received full testing. Please post and tell us if you discover any new problems or find problems with anything that is listed below as fixed.
Perform the following steps to obtain the update:
CHANGES:
Shadow calculation no longer causes intermittent crash
Aircraft Editor: Setting wing component weight to 0 is allowed (fixes crash)
Aircraft Editor: Streamer components are selectable in the Visual Mesh tree (fixes crash)
Multi-file EA/AV import finishes processing and renaming all .rfvehicle files
Variometer: Switching between metric and SI units while the gadget is active works as expected (fixes crash)
Variometer: Tone is muted correctly after turning gadget off and back on while sound is disabled
Variometer: Tone plays properly after changing airports while it is below the cutoff (e.g., the plane is in a steep dive)
Picklist properties display the correct default value instead of mirroring the currently selected value
Product version is always reported correctly in About dialog and in exported .RFX files
All references to current RealFlight generation say "G4"
Launcher: Online updates to previous versions that require deleting a .DCK now clean up the associated .ADJ (fixes crash)
Default wind direction is now correct at the following airports:
Air Race Stadium
Carnival
Evergreen Airport
Grass Flatlands (Night)
Obstacle Course
Obstacle Course (Night)
Waco Field
Obstacle Course 2 (EP1)
USAF Museum Outside (EP1)
