Scenery update
Recut global scenery is now available on Steam! If you have all scenery DLC installed this will be a significant update (50GB or more).

Like all X-Plane updates this one will install automatically (if you have Steam preferences set to do so)

This update will not change the 12.00 version number. 12.00r4 is still the latest version available on Steam. We will send out a separate announcement when a newer version (update) is available.
