RealFlight Evolution Public Beta Update: 10.10.144 is now available

[Ryan Douglas]

A new RealFlight Evolution beta, version 10.10.144, is now available. It contains a small but important set of content-related fixes, affecting both stock and custom content.

Please try this new version and let us know your results. We are eager to vet these changes and release them to all users, because the more time passes, the more custom content people will need to reimport once this goes public.
