You can't get any updates on SDC without having registered. Once you have, you need only turn on the 'show prerelease versions' option, and (possibly) refresh the XML in SDC's settings.

I still cant see 1.6Beta. I have verified I am registered, I have reloaded SDC, I have refreshed XML data, show pre-release is ticked, still nothing.

Latest versions in SDC showing are:

GC2 1.50.127
Tutorials 1.0(rc).020
Movies 1.0(rc).018
Multimedia 1.0(rc).046
DA 1.59(b).097
Heightmaps 1.59(b).007
Sins of a Solar Empire 0.66(b).010

Is 1.59(b).097 Version 1.6Beta5?

Yes. The 'real' version number won't turn over to 1.6 until the final 1.6 release.

The height maps and the beta both improve DA's performance?

The heightmaps are mostly about improving memory usage and load time (espeically if you set the planet surface variety option low). The 1.6 beta patches include big changes to the minimap and graphic engine of the game that actually give significant performance enhancements for most sytems.
