X-Plane 11.10 Is Here

X-Plane 11.10 Is Here! X-Plane 11.10 Official Release Available X-Plane 11.10 Release Notes I saw on the developer’s blog that the official version of 11.10 has been released. I updated to take a look and found it has left beta, The version is Release Candidate 3, which means it is about to enter the stable version.

According to the official introduction, the highlights of X-Plane 11.10 are:

  1. Keyboard, joystick, and other hardware settings saved separately (Joystick & Keyboard Profiles) Hardware profiles can be saved according to the aircraft or scenario, For example, key settings are different when flying a Cessna 172 versus a Boeing 737, Now you can save them separately for each aircraft type.

  2. London Landmarks I wanted to test it out, but found it takes 4 or 5 hours to download. I’ll wait until I have time later.

  3. Garmin 1000 navigation instruments (Highly Functional G1000) The biggest highlight of this version, This has already been introduced in X-Plane 11上的 G1000导航仪初探.

  4. Autogen & Scenery Objects Added some new scenery models, For details, see New Objects & Buildings Increase Variety in X-Plane 11.10

  5. Kiosk Mode A new mode that can be used for demonstrations at trade shows, etc., This way, no matter how various settings are changed, they will not be saved. Kiosk Mode in X-Plane 11.10

  6. Improvements for Situation Files Scenario training during flight is very important, and this function allows various scenarios to be saved, For example, ILS Arrival training at a certain airport, traffic pattern practice, takeoff in heavy fog, etc., Just load it up whenever you want to practice.

  7. Detailed Custom Scenery for KPHX & KBOS Scenery for Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport and Boston Logan International Airport.

  8. Over 500 New Airports with 3D Scenery Added over 500 new airports with 3D scenery.

In addition, the system has already made preparations for supporting VR devices. I estimate that the next version will allow flying with actual VR devices.
