| You can download a test version of YSFLIGHT from
this page. Since it is a test version, it is likely to have
numerous problems that makes the program not working properly.
Please use this program only if you are willing to help testing the
program. Thank you very much for your help! If you want to use
a more stable version, please use the latest official release version
from here.
Unlike the official version, the test version does not have an
installer. You need to extract files with directory structure
re-constructed. If you do not know how to do that, please use
the official version.

[Updates]
2009/06/05
- FPS display (In Option->Config)
- Server address history
- Fixed a problem: If there is a start position that is defined as
a on-aircraft-carrier but not actually on a carrier, and if a user
starts flying in network mode, the program crashes after "Free
Memory" is executed.
- In pull-down menu items can be selected by cursor (arrow) keys.
- Changed the language-pack directory from "gui" to "language"
There are still many features that I was not able to add in this
upgrade, but I would like to start pre-release test to finalize this
version if no critical problem is found.

- Support language MOD (sort of). You may
think it a brute-force method. But, OpenGL is horribly poor at
drawing texts. Multi-language is beyond imagination. So,
this is all I could do. By the way, you can simply delete the
patch to restore English version.
- You will crash when you land on a water even if
"Can Land Anywhere" is on.
2009/05/23
- Fixed a problem: When "Maximize Window" is selected in Option
dialog, "Cannot Use This Resolution" error is shown on startup, and
the window is not properly maximized.
- Fixed a problem: The program crashes while starting server mode.
2009/05/22B
- Windows version: I forgot hiding console. The one you can
download now does not show the console window.
2009/05/22A
- Fixed a problem: Fuel/Ammo supply dialog was shown on
sub-windows, too.
- You can type initial letter to select an item in a list box.
- "Retry Previous Mission" short-cut button.
- Fuel-only supply truck can supply smoke oil.
- Ammo supply truck supplies ammo of the turrets.
- Fixed a problem: Direct 3D version takes too much time to open
some of the maps.
- Field selection is sorted by name in the dialog.
- (Internally) Possible to make a ammo-only supply truck.
- Increased the number of letters shown in the Field and Start
Position selection list box in Network Config -> Server 1.
- Shows on-carrier start position on the map and start position
selection dialog.
- Fixed a problem: "Use Dead Zone" was not saved.
- If map selection dialog flickers, you can turn off map preview
in Option dialog, and the problem should be gone. (Looks like
OpenGL driver is running out of the buffer.)
- (Windows version only) You can scroll a list box contents by
mouse wheel.
- Fixed a problem: When you change key assignment, list-box
position of key will be shown incorrectly.
- Linux version: I believe I fixed the problem that you were not
able to type any text string.
2009/05/02
- An airplane crashing into the water makes a water plume instead
of an explosion.
- Fixed a problem that was making drawing of instrument panel in
Direct 3D very slow.
- Fixed a problem: When you continue flight after crashing,
landing gears, flaps etc. was set to the pre-crash configuration.
- Fixed a problem: When you change visibility in create flight
dialog and fly, then chose "Retry Previous Mission", the visibility
was reset to default in a few seconds.
- Showing Japanese messages in the menu screen (in Japanese
environment)
- Linux version now has almost same look and feel as Windows
version. I guess it is a substantial improvement of
user-interface.
2009/04/26
Test version release. Changes from the previous version is as
follows.
- New GUI
- In flight record playing mode, Step Forward, Rewind Play, and
Resume flight.
- In network mode, the program sends turret states only when there
are changes.
- Water/Land distinction. (Only in the map with the
water/land setting)
- Cloud layer (Only appears in PiratesAttach.yfs after certain
time has passed.)
- Can describe multiple mission-goal targets in .YFS
- Refuel/Reload ammo. Stop on the carrier or near the supply
truck and press HOME key. Civil supply truck (White) can only
supply fuels, no ammo.
- New missions: PiratesAttack.yfs (Defend a cargo ship from
pirates) and EscortMission.yfs (Escort incoming cargo airplane to
the base.)
I have mentioned about the plug-ins before, but it is not ready
yet.
