What is the current status of X-Plane 10.x for ...

ohsirus, thanks for the tip about commercial identification- I've messaged the mods about it.

 

Nice job Lee, I got the premium version. Will you be adding addition commands (e.g. autopilot heading hold, nav hold, alt hold etc)?

 

Thanks for the purchase! Additional autopilot functionality (including the stuff you mentioned, and more) will be in version 2, which I hope to get out before the holidays. I'm also planning to include control of the brakes, starting/stopping engines and APU, and better support for x737.

• Having seasons represented in terrain textures worldwide
• Having similar numbers of airports in similar detail to default FSX
• Having default or 3rd party ATC
• Having a utility similar to FSPax if you're familiar

I'm a P3D user which is great for what it is but w/o any real projections about where it's going other than it's a product whose audience is allegedly oriented exclusively towards training I'm losing interest in it at the moment.   Plus, I can't see it handling really complex planes very well at all in dense metropolitan areas, at least when ORBX FTX scenery is involved.  IMO it has stalled in its development enough, that combined w/ virtually no published plans about its future, that it has left me willing to look elsewhere.

 

Comments re the above questions would be much appreciated.  Of note, I installed 10.1 or something along those lines and while I really didn't give it much of a chance it wasn't particularly impressed coming from P3D.

 

Cheers

 

Aside from other replies to your questions.  I would add one more item: blurry visibility at horizon:  this issue kill the immersion factor for tubeliner.  And one more: better support for weather injection.  XPX 10.3X holds promises.  I still have XPX on my system, but these days I use P3D v2 for GA flights and FSX for tubeliner flights.  P3D v2 in my view hold promises as well.  There is no such thing as one sim platform that can do all.  I have to settle to use one or the other depending on what I want to do or the time that I have.
