Conference and X-Plane 10.30

[tonywob 4,770]

Anyone going to the conference in München this weekend?

They'll be showing some upcoming features in 10.30. I'll be attending, and I'll report back here ;-). Would be great to meet some forum users there.

I would love to be there... but Angela doesn't let me :-/  She's ruining my real and virtual flying life :-/

 

Well, please make sure you let us know about the news, and how great 10.30 will look (?) :-)

[tonywob 4,770]

Pity, it would have been great to have met you. I'm dragging my poor girlfriend with me (she agreed as it's my birthday  :Party: ) . I'm looking forward to seeing what's coming in 10.30 and also trying out the Oculus Rift (Which for some weird reason Facebook have bought).

[TOGA-saurus 330]

Sounds awesome! Would love to go, but I've got major exams coming up. Can't wait to hear how it goes

[Alpha Floor 237]

I'm looking forward to your insight report!

I really hope 10.30 will be worth the wait, I haven't touched XP10 in over a month since I bought P3D 2.1, plus I have a very stable amazing FSX setup with a lot$$$ of addons running great.

Yeah, this forum has seemed a bit quiet. I expect many people are waiting to see what direction things are going to go in.

Interest in X-Plane seems to come in waves, the last one was around the time Skymaxx Pro and the Saab 340 was released. I'm sure we'll see a huge surge when the ixeg 737 or the unknown PMDG product appears

Btw happy birthday ... the 29th huh? Same day as my little brother's  :Party:

[manuthie 242]

Ah, you mean in 2018 then  ^_^

OK, quick report before I return for the afternoon:

 

1) There is a new GPS, and it's fantastic. It has SIDs, STARs, WAAS approaches and is updatable using Aerosoft's data. I had a chance to try it after the presentation, and people won't be disappointed. I'll post pictures later. If you have RealityXP then you'll know what to expect. I was very excited to see and have a go of this.

 

2) Oculus Rift support. Gave it a try, and felt sick after about 30 seconds, but WOW, incredible.

 

3) Increased draw distance (Which appeared on Ben's blog). 

 

Anyway, back to the conference :-)

Wow nice good start there! That GPS sounds fantastic for us GA fliers...! Ian

[tonywob 4,770]

It's a huge improvement over the previous version. GA fliers won't be disappointed.

Great news, I had hoped that Phillip was brought in to redo the GPS.
