Keep in mind that this is a beta, so unforeseen issues are the name of the game, especially in combination with third-party add-ons.

You shouldn’t opt in unless you’re keen on helping test the update at the expense of the regular functioning of the simulator and stability.

If you do want to test, you can find the option on the X-Plane installer or on the Beta tabs of the properties menu on Steam.
