REP 5.0.8 is now available for all supported aircraft. This update is free for all current users. You can get it using the SkunkCrafts Updater or by re-downloading the full installer from the X-Plane store and reinstalling from scratch.
What’s New in 5.0.8
This is a small release, but every change here solves a real problem.
First, we removed the libcurl dependency from the Linux version. Therefore, the plugin now starts up cleaner on more distributions.
Second, we further refined the lean of peak behavior based on feedback from the community. Power, EGT, and roughness respond even more precisely as you lean past peak. Therefore, if you fly LOP procedures, the engine feels even closer to the real aircraft.
Third, on the PAE A36 Bonanza, we fixed a few glitches in the 3D model. Small detail, but it was bothering us as much as it was bothering you.
