[Ryan Douglas]

A new version of RealFlight Evolution is available as a public beta. Version 10.10.080 focuses on improvements to RealFlight's user interface, including a few bug fixes that were related to the UI in some way.

We ask that Evo users update to the new version and provide feedback in the "RealFlight Evolution DirectX 11 Beta" forum.
