X PLANE FREEWARE NET FORUMS INDEX UPDATE
Obviously with the "Download" that means there is no update to the basic X-Plane scenery tiles or an inclusion of the HD version. This version is aimed at new users to X-Plane and the set requires the user to download and insert the full or selected areas that makes up the "Global Scenery" folder. The second version is the standard Boxed version with the nine DVD disks. But in most cases the first X-Plane release is usually a beta version (or prerelease) so the new version may not be available to Steam straight away as per the beta program rules.Ģ. Steam: Steam will be probably be downloaded the same way. There is the option to download the "Global Scenery" or as it is noted as "Regional Scenery" but it is a very hefty download (see below). Which is very good news as you will have X-Plane11 installed very quickly and not wait around for the eight disk DVD package to arrive, and as I am in Australia in that last time it took six weeks for the package to arrive.
X PLANE FREEWARE NET FORUMS INDEX UPGRADE
This version is intended for current X-Plane users and the upgrade to X-Plane11 will be just like a standard X-Plane installer update. The first download is the electronic version, but to use this download does mean you must already have X-Plane10 installed with the "Global Scenery" that comes on those eight DVD disks. There will be for the first time two different packages to buy and are aimed at different audiences, the current price is US$59.99ġ. The 13th June FlightSimCon previews were correct as well along with my forecast that yes indeed X-Plane 11 will be released this year, for as noted at the time the shown exhibits at FlightSim 2016 were just too well defined to be still in early development.īut with the release at Cosford you did get more information, and a little more detail in that you can now define on what X-Plane 11 is going to be.įirst to note is that X-Plane 11 is available now if you wish to purchase the online key, you DON"T actually get X-Plane11 of course but you do get the download as soon as it is available (Thanksgiving in the US) and the key works for X-Plane10 and 11 as so you don't have to have different keys for the different versions. So it wasn't really a hard to guess that this was for the announcement for the release of X-Plane11, as the timeline easily pointed towards "Thanksgiving" as this was always the usual standard Laminar Research major release point period anyway.

Laminar Research : X-Plane 11 Release notesįor Laminar Research to announce that a "Big Announcement" that was coming in October at the RAF Cosford Simulation Show (8th October) and that Austin Meyer and Ben Supnic where going to be there at the show, and even the Stanley Kubrick inspired promos are now coming off YouTube at a rate of click.
