Today we uploaded the first open beta of XAcars for X-Plane and the first Version for Microsoft FlightSimulator. Yes, that's true - XAcars is now fully compatible with MSFS!

The reason for the long delay was that we wanted to be fully compatible with X-Plane 9 and Goodway 4.0, so we had to wait for the release of those great products. But now everything works fine and even the public beta should be able to run on active sites.

As a result of many improvements in the new version, we had to change the protocol to version 1.1 and we use a new identifier for the MSFS version. So there are now three identifiers you can get in your server scripts after initialisation:

* XACARS|1.0 -> this is the old XAcars version (still working)
* XACARS|1.1 -> this is the new XAcars version for XPlane
* XACARS_MSFS|1.1 -> new XAcars version for MSFS

You can find the actual beta in our download section - the example server scripts are updated to the new identifiers. Unfortunately we cannot support OSX, version 10.3.x anymore. But for all users of this system you can still find version 1.2 in the "old" directory.

Thanks for "testing",
your XAcars Team.
