Where to get Orbiter Beta

[PTS]

I browsed and I searched and I googled, but it's unfindable. Is it beta-tester exclusive only? The only beta I could find is from 2007.

PTS,
You can get the new 080516 beta and the new Earth texture by link - http://orbitervis.wiki.sourceforge.net/OrbiterPublicBeta

DaveS' link said I don't have permission to view the project, so it is secret after all...

I found the second source, by reading all of martins' posts, none of them really refered to the new beta, the link was just thrown in there.

Shouldn't this be stickied somewhere? I think it's rather important, and it takes above-average forensic skills to find it :/

i downloaded the beta but when i start it a screen apeers and says
The application failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect

Star explorer,
Did you install your 080516 beta over Orbiter 060929 ?
The beta must be placed in folder with installed Orbiter 060929.

The beta project is only available to beta testers.

I'm not sure who is putting the download links got put up on sourceforge wiki. I didn't think it was a public BETA...

This is slightly concerning?

MartinS put the beta links on sourceforge so no need to be concerned.

What you are looking for is the first sticky thread in the Addons forum: http://orbiter-forum.com/showthread.php?t=1864

Probably you need the VS2005 redistributables, as the later betas are compiled with VC2005+, a temporary (i hope) limitation.
You can get them fast here:

It has been public even before the DX7 client supported particle streams.
