Hi pngflyer,
As an average - it seems that when a new update is introduced to the Beta branch - providing no major bugs are found by the community and further evaluation by the beta teams that it is stable - it can be between 1 and 2 weeks sometimes within a month.
It really depends on the nature of the update. As far as early release aircraft, they are not usually released to stable branch until all features are working and no game stopping bugs are found. Early release on the beta branch, then full beta branch, then stable branch is the usual sequence.
Cheers,
Cats . . . .
ps: I gather you prefer to fly only the stable branch - you can change your install to a beta install and back again to stable if you want. Very easy and saves having to download both branches using up valuable HD space. or . . . . like many of us - have three installs - 2.xx, 1.xxbeta and 1.xxstable. For me, I just have the beta branch and 2.xx on my system. Of course, this will all be moot in a few weeks when the merge is expected to take place AS A BETA. :)
