ACARS Build 94 Beta 1 is now available for download here:

http://www.deltava.org/DVA-ACARS94b1.exe

This incorporates a number of fixes in the area of dispatch operations, as well as a few minor bug fixes. Please be aware that beta versions of ACARS can be deprecated without much warning, and if you are not interested in receiving dispatch services Builds 92 or 93 will work fine for you. Please be aware that I have locked out Build 93 and earlier's ability to request dispatch service, so if you want to use dispatch please upgrade.

The biggest new feature in Build 94 is the ability to request dispatch service WITHOUT a dispatcher online. This will query the routes in the ACARS database and allow you to select one for your flight. We want to extend dispatch service and not have it dependent on live human beings (although this is preferrable) and Build 94 is the first step in that direction.

Cheers!

Luke,
Is the non-human Dispatch function working in ver 94 now? If so, I'm not able to locate it.

Beta 1 is no longer available for download - I am hopefully releasing Beta 2 soon. It has some improved dispatch tracking code, so we can track Dispatcher use and productivity.

Cheers!
