- New: scan for broken/bad links/shortcuts in the Custom Scenery folder
- New: option to switch off GroundTraffic plugins (per airport package)

- Further new functionality is under development. New updates will of course be free for all users of the full version
Regarding making version 2 payware, the creator writes,
"The previous version was freeware, but with this new version I could no longer justify this. Improving and extending xOrganizer took me so much time I could either quit or take this step. I hope that everyone will still support me and find the price fair for what xOrganizer offers now".
