Topic: ver 2.6 beta 4 WIN/MAC 64 bit

Please use it if you really want take part in beta-tests. It is a long way to test 2.6 in beta mode, cause a LOT of internal changes was made for this version. v.2.6 MCDU internal structure and internal data transfer code have huge difference compare with 2.5 and become like a330 now. For this reason a number of issue may happen for this beta stage.

2.6 Change list
+Incockpit lights inoperate fixed
+ND line path angle fixed
+some SID/STAR legs drawing fixed
+Arrow Up/Dn multiclick sound fixed
+News module add
+flight model improved, was a realpilots job this time (check on takeoff/landing)
+Dest EFOB at FUEL PRED Page fixed
+"blinking" displays fixed
+No TCAS alert sounds fixed
+Cockpit lights fixed (not sure about Compass Lt)
- AirFMC indication not fixed (cant fix on my side, will contact AirFMC developers)
-ailerons flickered not fixed
-3digit radio indication not fixed
-remove DISC after Takeoff RW not fixed

ver 2.6 beta 4 WIN/MAC 64 bit
So, this is the next 320 MCDU/ND improvements - reworked flightplan path (add TMPY FPLN, GA FPLN, ND), new SASL v2.4 implemented (should fix CTD when exit X-Plane), add Saitek Throttle Quadrant support (for LG, Flaps, GSpoilers control)

Re: ver 2.6 beta 4 WIN/MAC 64 bit

After an intersection plane loose LNAV. (so, I press HDG then NAV to correct LNAV). this is a possible bug.

Also I see in test flight on ND  some hidden white point (AF1, AF2...AF7), that points not in CDU. This is not bug, but some strange for me.

Re: ver 2.6 beta 4 WIN/MAC 64 bit

I noticed that the plate.txt in the beta4 version still says B3, so I think that's what you're seeing.
