Will the beta patch be updated automatically in steam when final patch is released?

[AdamB]

The beat patch does not come out on steam, only the final patch release will be avialable to download on steam, the beat patch normally has a manual instal, the file that you have to download contains all the neccassary folders and files in the respected places, all you have to do is basically copy and paste the new beta files into your il-2 root directory. (there will almost certainly be a README file in the patch that tells you how to instal the patch,
and btw i have never had to clear out the cache from the game so i dont know where its located and i dont think its a neccissary step unless told otherwise by the devs. (thats not to say that its against the rules to do it i just dont think is nessicarry playing around with things like that-but tbh im not 100% sure what youd accomplish by clearing that cache anyway)

Hope this helps
