This is good news. Thanks for the latest gossip. I haven't been to the forum over there since the first (beta) released. Is there a somewhat definitive date for release proposed yet? No idea what's on the "fix list."

Honestly...I'm not sure.....I wil say that the cockpit is much nicer now.....the texturing is awesome.....I have been hoping someone would come out with the WAG effect for lighting....hoping to see if it works in other GA aircraft.

Thanks for the info. I just popped over to Baytower forums and had a read about the beta 3 release. The info contained in the thread sounds real good. Promising. The included pictures, almost like scratch and sniff. :icon_lol: It's coming along real nicely!

Pardon my ignorance, but what is the "WAG" effect?

It's short for wig-wag. The left & right landing lights flash in a pattern similar to the lights at a railroad crossing.

Hmmm, ok. . . .is there a reason you would need landing lights to flash on and off?
