I have been in the iOS and Android mobile betas and have tried to look at the same in FS 2. I have just made up a new PC and "Steam" was totally new to me, getting FS 2 installed at all had been a steep learning curve.
I was unaware of any documentation, advice or forum activity inside "Steam" and happened to discover the beta program by chance long after the FS 2 release. I had thought that this forum was where any sensible Aero information was to be found and now I find myself a bit out in the cold, fairly bewildered and feeling that I have missed the boat.
This page shows how far I have got in trying to make sense out of "Steam" beta, do I need to enter a secret code from IPACS? I don't want to bug Torsten and Co. unnecessarily.
Is the beta running now primarily aimed at the VR community? I didn't get any new automatic downloads recently, there was supposed to be a new update of FS 2 released last Saturday. I realise that Jan's version is from his personal site.
