As the title indicates, beta 10 is out there for download.  The release notes are also posted and there were a few fixes, but the beta seems to be running smoothly for me.

 

Ben anticipates a RC within two weeks, so we are getting there.

Edit:  Right knob on GPS will not advance for entry of identifier.  It will go backward and loop around so the id can be entered, but will not go right.  Bug report filed.

 

Update:  After flying and finding that the GPS did everything else correctly, I went through several other aircraft and their GPS worked fine.  Went back to the Centurion and it worked fine.  Bug report submitted to report the now working GPS. 

 

Fixed for Beta 10

• Fuel consumption matches 10.36 for old planes not saved in 10.40. This fixes the JAR Designs A330 and FlightFactor 757.
• Billboard lights for legacy planes match X-Plane 10,36. (Bug 1731.)
• Range selector knob fixed. (Bug 1802.)
• Glider winch remembers last picked runway. (Fixes bug 1803.)
• Mouse wheel works in planet map.
• Fixed cursor not tracking properly on Windows 8 with 4K monitors and large fonts.
• ATC taxi guidance arrows disappear when flight plan is canceled. (Bug 1744.)
• Safe mode only comes up when the shift key is held down (Bug 1793.)
• AVI recording always records in slow lock-step when recording replays. This means replays will always have correct timing no matter what record speed and sim framerate. (Bug 1726.)
• Fixed DVD-detection on Linux Debian 8 (and any Linux where /etc/mtab is a symlink to /proc/mounts).
• Fixed DSF loader getting stuck for a few minutes when flying in a decaying orbit.
• Fixed ATC Frequencies at LPFR.
• Aurora Borealis visible in southern latitudes too. (Bug 1784.)
• Fixed text outside box in joystick and equipment page. (Bug 1682.)
• RREF UDP packet allows access to binary datarefs – access them as arrays; the return value will be 0..255 for each byte.

Thanks for head up!!!

Looking forward to the Release arriving on Steam.

Ben added another fix to the release notes:

 

• Transponder commands fixed.  (Fixes Carenado planes and Saitek plugin.)
