2.0 beta 1 business / commercial software for mac

GlidePlan 2.0 beta-6 is a useful yet effective tool for the glider pilot to conveniently plan and explore potential cross country flights from the desktop. It uses current Sectionals for the entire US, and creates graphic overlays similar to traditional map marking techniques. GlidePlan Produces automatic contoured lines of glide elevation for intuitive planning so pilots can easily explore impact of arrival altitude and glider performance on goals or tasks.

It's great for instructors, and students learning cross country techniques. GlidePlan features Automatic evaluation of tasks for FAI badge compliance, with diagnostics, and outputs printed maps at Sectional scale, with automatic map legends, eliminating the need to mark up Sectionals by hand.

Requirements:

• Mac OS X 10.3 or higher
  

X-Plane 9.30 Beta 15 is designed to introduce a new engine-model and have really perfected flight dynamics. X-Plane is the ultimate general-aviation flight sim.

Enhancements:

1. Plane-Maker can snap wings OK now.
2. RESET PATH map-button and menu-option now reset the paths of ALL planes... not just yours.
3. Frame-rate counter should run a bit smoother.
4. Ever so slight tuning of the rotor/propeller model.
5. 'Start on Ramp' option back in the Operations and Warnings window.
6. Should now work with REMOTE for iPhone, even if you are still on an old power PC!
7. APU n1 saved with the situation and replay.
8. Runway bumps fixed when "runway follows terrain contours" is off.
9. Runways no longer bright at night with shaders on and per-pixel lighting off.
10. Facades drape on sloped ground.
11. App icons look correct on OS X 10.3 and 10.4.
12. Orthophoto distance tuned for anisotropic filtering.
13. 72 hz frequency monitors recognized in rendering settings
14. Text entry into numeric fields improved
15. Datarefs for PFC equipment are writable
16. Rotation-speed datarefs for wheels/props/engines won't go negative.

Requirements:

• G4 or G5 or Intel 2 ghz+
  
• RAM: 1 gig for speed
  
• Disk Space: 70 gig
  
• CD/DVD: DVD-DL

Orator 2.1 beta 2 is regarded as a superior and tractable one-window application that will save text in its window to a sound (aiff) file spoken in any Mac OS X voice. There is also a 'Speak' button to preview the sound.

The sound file can then be played in iTunes, used as an alert beep, a mail sound or anything else. iTunes can convert aiff sound files to other formats and even download them to an iPod or other player!

Arbetare 1.0b1 is known as an interesting and fantastic puzzle game. Move the cargo onto the cargo holders in as few moves as possible! Be careful not to get stuck! Go ahead, quell your boredom! NOTICE: This is a beta version, intended for testing and response purposes only. There are bugs and issues that have yet to be fixed or addressed, and there are a limited number of level sets. Redaktor 1.0b1, the level editor/creator for Arbetare, is included.

BMaxCode beta 6 is one of the most marvelous tools to edit .bmx files regrouped in a project (when importing a project, you'll be asked to save the project itself somewhere and then choose the main file. The main file is the .bmx you compile under BMax, please do NOT choose another .bmx. Also, only add .bmx files to the project window, doing otherwise could result in very hmmmm "interesting" things.)

Major Features:

1. Lists globals/constants/locals/functions/types and allow you to add/edit/remove them easily
2. Auto-completion (since this may not be obvious, see the How to section below to know how you can use auto-completion)
3. Syntax coloring (you can customize the colors in the prefs menu, just like with BMax)
4. Search/Replace words in a function, in a whole file, in the entire project or in the selected text
5. Semi-auto-indent (just like BMax is already doing it)
6. Compile/Run using BlitzMax's BMK
7. Build release and allow custom icon,version... for the the final release.
8. Various things like opening/saving/reverting and so on (common functions one is right to expect from almost any app)

Requirements:

• Tested on an iMac G3 500 MHz w/512 MB RAM
• A G4 866 MHz w/768 MB RAM May require StuffIt Expander 9 to expand
