New RF-X 1.5 public beta (1.50.004) is available
We are pleased to announce early access to an RF-X 1.5 public beta! We've been hard at work on improvements and new features for RF-X. Now we want to get them into your hands and get your feedback as we continue work on 1.5 this year.
New Features: Here are the big new features we've added so far!
Known Issues: We discovered a few bugs that we did not want to let hold up this release. They will be addressed at a later time.
This is a large update. At about 4.5 GB, you can expect the download to take a while. Please follow these instructions:
Feedback: Please tell us about your experience and any bugs you find in the RF-X discussion forum. Last edited by Ryan Douglas; 01-23-2018 at 07:42 PM. Reason: Added a couple steps to the download instructions |

New Airports
Grouped by the world in which they exist.
Wright Island Harbor Dock Lighthouse Meadowlands RC Field Radio Station RC Ranch Sierra Nevada Alpine Lake - A new float-flying site in the existing Sierra Nevada world. Misc. Blimp Hangar - A massive and detailed structure for indoor flying. Not as lightweight as Green Grass Flatlands, but still much faster than Sierra Nevada or Wright Island. Exists in its own dedicated scene. |

Download Problems
Problem #1
During the download phase, a file might fail to download. A retry message is displayed: "An error occurred while downloading a file. Would you like to try downloading this file again?" This might happen repeatedly, either for the same file or for a different file each time. This is annoying but ultimately non-destructive. The workaround is to keep retrying, or to cancel and try again later. Nothing you've already successfully downloaded will be lost, and if you cancel you can keep using the older version of RF-X in the meantime. We don't yet know what is causing this issue. We're looking into it on the server side. In recent tests from within our office, sometimes we see it, and sometimes we don't. Problem #2 After all the files are successfully downloaded, an out of memory error can occur while decompressing and copying downloaded files to their final destination. This is more serious than problem #1. If it happens, it will leave your installation in a corrupted state. The bad news is that requires reinstalling your software before retrying the update. The good news is that you do not need to re-download the update, as long as you follow the instructions below.
Please note that we are adding two steps to the original download instructions: Shutting down other programs, and disabling antivirus software (for the duration of the update only). |
