I noticed Carenado Baron and C340 on sale now for Xplane 10-30

 

Anyone know if these planes are now 64 bit?

G'day,

 

I just checked their site and they say both aircraft are 64 bit compatible.

 

I might just have to buy them myself - thanks!

I wonder if "64 bit compatible" means they are 32 bit but can run on Xplane's 64 bit?

Not sure, but here's a review of the Baron;

It says it was updated to 32 and 64 bit standards, whatever that means:)

They've been 64 bit compatible ever since Version 2, they are up to Version 3.0 now.

That link mentions:

"Overhauled plugin-enhanced sound and lighting, X-Plane 10 optimizations, and many further improvements. These packages run on either X-Plane 9 or X-Plane 10, so customers who bought them for X-Plane 9 could run them in X-Plane 10 without any problem.”"

 

******** See edit below :

XP9 is 32 bit.

XP10 is 64 bit.

 

It is hard to sort out!

The "compatible" part.

 

X-Plane tech got me straight.

X-plane10 is 64 bit but comes with X-plane10 32 bit program also.

Either way, I like the look of it so I'm going to have to buy it:)

I wonder if the Carenado Baron for Xp10-30  is a lot better than the default Baron in XP10-30?

I got the Baron during last year's holiday sale, together with the F33 Bonanza. Really like both of them. The Carenado version looks much better than the stock X-Plane version, and the sounds are some of the best I've heard in X-Plane, almost on par with FSX.

 

Haven't bought the C340, it doesn't really appeal to me. This year I picked up the Caravan and PA-32 Saratoga

I wonder if the Carenado Baron for Xp10-30  is a lot better than the default Baron in XP10-30?

Well, better sound, better graphics, better handling, Scroll-wheel support. The C340 on the other hand is probably ,together with the Malibu, the Carenado Plane that I nearly never use.

I just got the 340 - not a fan - way underpowered.

 

It looks better than their Baron but I fly the Baron more.

I think the main difference is that 64-bit compatible planes "may" use plug-ins that are 64-bit and do not work in 32-bit versions. On the other hand, if a plane is "64-bit compatible" it may not use 64-bit plug-ins and simply work in both versions?
