Sort of. The new installers put the global scenery in “Global Scenery”, not in “Custom Scenery”. This is actually a function of the installer that is on the DVD, but it is true that the final DVDs have the various new installers.

But…the sim will run equally well with the global scenery in either location; it expects both and will for the entire v9 run.

And if you really care, you can move it at your own risk (but I don’t recommend it!!)

I have no idea if people read the comments here or not, but you are totally right…really there’s no point in re-buying the DVDs…we make sure every patch is web-available because otherwise people would have to wait for the final version of v9 to buy. The betas are indeed no different!

So why does it matter if you are updating from a beta or not?

Of course, since this isn’t a mailing list, I think only Ben is going to read my thought. 🙂
