I see that the installers are still where they were over a year ago, but wondering if any of beta versions of ACARS are worth tinkering with. Still running XP and FS9 ovah here. I did manage to upgrade my computer to a screaming 2.4 ghz P4 since last I flew The Widget.

The betas have a few improvements (and you'll need to use the beta if you want ACARS dispatch services). But the drawback of the betas is that they can get deprecated on short notice, so if you aren't interested in periodically downloading a new ACARS beta every two weeks or so, just stick with Build 93.

Cheers!
