New RF6 public beta (6.00.027) is available

[Ryan Douglas]

Version 6.00.027 is now available as a public beta download. It is exactly the same as .026 except for increasing the aileron length on the 3D variant of the Yak-54 to make them extend all the way to the fuselage.

This version is compatible with 6.00.021 for multiplayer.

Perform the following steps to obtain the update (if you already have a public beta version greater than 6.00.021, skip steps 2-4):

1. Start the RealFlight 6 Launcher
2. Click Additional Options, then Technical Support
3. Click Enter Tech Support Code
4. Enter the following code: B#x72qe255cf9a (If successful, you will see a message saying "You are now registered to use the Public Beta site until the new version is posted to official download site.")
5. Go back to the main Launcher menu and click Registration/Updates
6. Make sure that in the bottom left corner it says Temporary Public Beta. If not, try reentering the code
7. Click Update to Latest Version; alternatively, click Update to Specific Version, choose 6.00.027 from the list, and click OK.

The LauncherHelper will need to restart partway through this process. Answer "Yes" when it asks if you want to continue downloading the new version. When this process is finished, you will have the latest available version of RealFlight 6.
