X-Plane 10.04 Beta 4 is here now!

This is more bug-fixing and tuning to get everything just right!

Run your updater (which you can grab at X-Plane.com) to update it!

Have at it and let me know how it goes!

X-Plane 10.04 Beta 4

ATC:

ATC checks aircraft altitude less frequently being a little more patient with
pilots.
New aircraft spawn "silently" which should drastically improve radio congestion.
ATC should properly inform pilots of their expected approach and runway upon
giving the pilot their FIRST vector for the approach.
Scenery:

Latest version of KSEA demo area has variable density of objects with the
rendering settings. If you have a lower performance computer and run at medium
object settings, the demo airport should have better framerate.
Weather:

Fixed black sky and broken transition from near to far terrain when flying over
overcast cloud layers.
Fog coloring tweaked in the clouds a bit... The color should be more realistic
INSIDE of the clouds!
More improvements in the read in of Real-Weather files... now handling more
cloud types and report-types, including ones found in Europe!
Joystick:

Left and right brake BUTTONS should always work, as long as you do not have
joystick AXIS assigned to left and right brakes!
Joystick can now over-ride autopilot, as in reality. BUT, beware! The autopilot
will be fighting you with the servos, and the trim as well, and in some
airplanes, the trim is stronger than the flight controls themselves!
Misc:

Fixed white triangles in sky when looking straight up.
Temporarily disabled alerts for illegally used ramp starts.
Transition to supersonic engine dynamics a hair more realistic... applies to
engine DRAG as well as thrust!
Spherical and cylindrical projection corrected... See if you like it more! (If
you have a pro-use key!)
(real) Garmin430 and Garmin430 WAAS driven more perfectly now, with the ability
to set the OBS on the Garmin unit or the X-Plane panel
