Open Beta Program
This program aims to collect feedback from a broader user base. Get early access to the pre-release versions of our products and help us ensure they are stable even after our lates updates.
Open Beta Is Currently Not Active
There is no Open Beta Release available at the moment. Our last stable version is currently in the store and you can get it the usual way.
Once a new version is available, you will be notified through our version pop-up on startup.
We always need your feedback!
With every new beta version you try, please answer the question below based on your results:
Can we release this version, or did anything significant stop you from finishing a flight?
YES
If you completed your flight, please select one of these options:
NO
Critical issue - This version should not be released
Critical bugs could be one of the following:
- X-Plane crashing
- The autopilot suddenly not follow the route
- The FMS not loading the flight plan correctly
- Your computer combusting into flames
The Open Beta Program is not intended for reporting minor bugs. We have our internal beta testing team which ensures the new features work as intended or you can submit minor bugs in our bug report forum.
