This is the first release that requires .Net Framework 2.0. You may need to download this unless you use Vista or another program that required it.
This release has been restructured so it is much smaller and faster. Beta 2 when converted to .Net 2.0 and used on a Pentium 4.0 with Vista suffered a massive speed drop. The restructured version may still have some new instabilities or places where it does not immediately update - we have tried to cover these but will appreciate those of you prepared to trial the program to advise of such problems. A stable version of Beta 3 will be released to cover any instabilities.
Most of the under construction features in Beta 2 have been completed except the engine based ones. The only change on the engine page (except the layout) is the ability to lock the power. This will stop the power being automatically adjusted to keep a design at the desired speed. It can also be used to set a desired power. The downside of this is that the calculations cannot be real time so manual recalculation will be required
