Thank you! Ran KIAH last night with about 99% speech accuracy! Would be nice to see the update announcement on the game page under activity and not just the new airport releases.

Is the quickstart guide going to be updated? It's no longer accurate. It lists commands that no longer work (e.g. "#airplane1; RUNWAY ;#runway1; CLIMB TO ;#bignumber1; ON REACHING CONTACT DEPARTURE CLEARED FOR TAKEOFF"), and doesn't tell me anything about "customisable voice commands" (which I can't find anywhere in the game).
Also, the F6 the "command" screen seems to lack any context, suggesting a whole load of nonsensical command elements, such as allowing the selection of "contact departure" before the plane has even pushed back from the gate. It also suggests that "after departure" is a valid command element, but I can't find any context in which it works.

Update your documentation when you release new features. Why is this so difficult?

Hi! Thanks for your report! The announcement is coming today. I just didn't want to make a huge post about it, until we had the hotfix out as well, which was yesterday evening for me. I am on this now, and it is coming. Thanks again :)

I am doing it as we "speak" and it will be updated. There were a lot of changing things even at last minute, but rest assured it is going to get updated over the next couple days. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

You can even edit the csv file. You can hide and unhide commands, edit them as you'd like. Just look for the commands csv file, it is easy to edit.
Thanks for your message!

How do you access the departure beta?
