We are pleased to announce RealFlight version 9.50.068! This update adds new HobbyZone AeroScout training content as well as our first Steam achievements! These achievements target the beginning pilot.
Features
Added training lessons featuring the HobbyZone AeroScout S 1.1m
Added achievements for each of the following: - completing all the AeroScout training courses - completing all the Apprentice training courses - completing all the Habu training courses - accruing 2 hours of total flight time - accruing 4 hours of total flight time
Improvements/Fixes
Current training lessons are sorted into tabs by vehicle. Older lessons remain grouped in the "Classic" tab.
Added "Spektrum Receiver (DXeA)" radio profile. It matches the existing "Spektrum Receiver (DXS)" radio profile but provides greater convenience and clarity for DXeA users.
How to Get It Steam will detect the new version and automatically update RealFlight when it thinks your computer is not very busy. You can trigger the update manually if desired by completely restarting Steam. Right-click the Steam icon in your system tray and select Exit.

Release notes for 9.50.038
This update is primarily focused on improving the experience for users with a Spektrum DXS radio. With the new Spektrum Receiver (DXS) radio profile, the "A/Bind" button on the DXS does double duty, controlling Panic functionality on models that have it as well as operating retracts/smoke on models with those features.
IMPROVEMENTS/FIXES:
Added a "Spektrum Receiver (DXS)" radio profile
Renamed "Spektrum MLP6DSM" radio profile to "Spektrum Receiver (MLP6DSM)" to match other similar profiles
RealFlight displays a reminder to turn off your transmitter on exit when using a Spektrum WS1000/WS2000 dongle
AIRCRAFT:
1903 Wright Flyer: Motor visuals are associated with the correct physics components
