Wade just cut the final build for XSquawkBox 1.0.3, and of all of the betas I have been involved in, this was the best one ever. I say this because Wade ran the entire beta and fixed pretty much all of the bugs without me! That is to say, Wade made 1.0.3 happen. So huge thanks to Wade for making a new and much needed XSquawkBox version possible.

Here are some of the features:

  • Automatic download and update of the server list.
  • Dual VoIP radios.
  • Proxy client support for users with multiple copies of X-Plane for multiple views.
  • A ton of work on the UI – a lot of little things add up to make a much more mature, usable client.

Now if only I had time to fly on VATSIM…
