Paddles:
Well guys...
The Beta 0.8.2.7 is here (full package)

What's new?
0.1b
More grades. All the grades, actually.
Totally new approach data acquisition and evaluation system.
More eyecandies and user interface improvements (handwritten logbook for example)

Serge,
Great improvements from the Alpha version, thanks a lot, it has made a happy Saturday morning for me. I really like the new logbook. I also appreciate that after a "Wave Off" signal, you can still land and look at the analysis of your flight.
I don't get the "Abeam" signal, maybe I have been flying too high after taking off.
One question though, and it might not be possible in the mission environment, but is there a possibility to control the clock and reset the time back, so that using FS Recorder I can replay a flight?
Thanks again, beautiful job.
Johan
GOONIE:
Serge,
Awesome bud! Really looking forward to trying out the beta this weekend. Can you explain more how the manual ball call works? Or how it is implemented? Thanks for all your efforts!

Excellent! Now I just have to hope my power stays on long enough to go flying. Can someone remind me why I moved back to the Northeast? LOL
