Seit gestern müssen Steam-Nutzer auch nicht mehr länger warten, wenn Sie auf die neuste Beta zugreifen wollen. Die “Unstable Betas” können Steam-Nutzer jetzt auch sofort runterladen, “even if it’s broken and unusable”, wie Ben Supnik von X-Plane jetzt erklärt. Um die Unstable Beta zu bekommen, hat man zwei Möglichkeiten. In der Steam-App wählt man im Beta-Tap die Eigenschaften der X-Plane-App aus. Dort kann dann zwischen der “Public Beta” oder der “Unstable Pre-Release Beta” wählen. Mehr Infos findet ihr auf dem Developer Blog von X-Plane.
