9.5 Beta Is Out

[garrettm30]

Notice to all my fellow X-Plane friends: 9.5 beta 1 is now available for testing. This seems to be as good a place as any for talking about progress of the 9.5 betas. As always, you may read the list of what is changed from X-Plane's Beta page, though I will repeat them here in case you want to be spared a click:

New stuff:

NAVAID editing works perfectly... add new DMEs, markers, etc, in the MAP screen in EDIT mode and have them all added and working perfectly without having to re-start X-Plane!

Tiny change to an autopilot instrument for the little 'alert' message to come up at just the right times.

Replay works as you expect, evern if you are paused when you enter replay mode.

Flight data recorder works properly with the CALI statements, even if the real elevation of the ground is different than the elevation in our scenery database.

Less wind shear in direction from real weather... should make planes more manageable.

Space shuttle GPS operational.

Custom transmission pressure and temperature limits settable in Plane-Maker.

Custom mast torque instrument limits settable in Plane-Maker as well.

The current livery is available as a dataref.

Even more customizable airport lights for airplane authors.

HUD instruments will hide if inside a group that is hidden - customize your HUD.

Tuned: load time improvements on Windows.

No more stutters while flying for a long time in one area.

Objects were rotated a fraction of a degree, now fixed.
