Thanks Turbo.
I understand one can have both 6.4 and 6.3 installed as those are separate
executable. But do they share the same config file, and if so, is there a risk
of conflicts?
I would like to test 6.4 on the ground but fly with the stable version until I
feel comfortable to switch, but want to make sure there will be no conflicts.
Thanks,
Ramy
