Beta 5:

  • Fixed divergent texture fetches in HDR shader. There are artifacts on the horizon on Nvidia hardware before and after this change; we are still working on a complete fix.
  • Fixed missing code signature on OS X – this could cause the firewall warning to come up over and over.
  • Fixed mouse wheel zoom

Hello,

in some days the new Beta 8 will be available.
If somebody have installed Beta 7 than you can rollback to 10.36 (uncheck the radiobutton "Check for Betas" in the Installer/Updater).
Or wait a little for Beta 8.

X-Plane 10.40 Beta 10 is available. See Post 1.

Here is the changelog:

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.

Hello,

X-Plane 10.40 RC3 is available. It is a Beta!

Fixed for release candidate 3:

  • Fixed auto-update on Windows 10. Note that when X-Plane 10.36 attempts to auto-update to X-Plane 10.40 on Windows 10, you may get a “permission denied” error.  With the fix in 10.40, the update to patches after 10.40 should work correctly.
  • Removed warnings about unneeded .glsl files.
