Well guys...
The Beta 0.8.2.7 is
here (full package)
To install the program unzip this archive (keeping its internal folder structure) to a temp folder and read the manual.
What's new?
0.1bMore grades. All the grades, actually.
Totally new approach data acquisition and evaluation system.
More eyecandies and user interface improvements (handwritten logbook for example)
Manual ball call option for you, hardcore simmers.
Additional views in the CarrierTrials mission (PLAT, paddles and Air boss)
No more areas and triggers in missions. I encourage you to test the program with any FSX carrier missions available.
