## Aircraft

### General

### Cessna Citation X

- Display DEST on PROG page of second FMS as well (XPD-17321)

//admin edit: title changed to show update was retracted

A bit odd - I run the installer but it tells me my XP12 is up to date with beta 2.

They disabled b3 due to issues with MacOS.

And WX radar issues.

B4 is out
