We are working hard on getting the last of the bugs out and content for Beta 2 is already starting to come in. I can't wait to share some shots of that with you guys in the next update. Beta 1 has been a great experience for us and Beta 2 will allow us to tweak the gameplay and also add a bunch of cool stuff. We have been sifting through all the feedback we have gotten and taking notes, so if you want to give us your two cents, head over to the Forums. We also have a wiki which is slowly accumulating articles. If you are a flight ace and want to contribute some tips, don't hesitate to head on over there.

Happy flying, and expect some more bug patching and some great new content in the coming months.

Dan
