Here you will find information about X-Plane simulation software. The topics we’ll cover will vary but will include such things as program updates, add-ons, future release dates and noteworthy features.
Recently, X-Aviation, the manufacturer of X-Plane, announced that they were planning to work alongside JRollon.com to create a seaplane simulator package as an add-on to their X-Plane product. It will be titled Seamax M-22 and will come with a large number of features, including 3D effects and authentic navigational dynamics. The plane’s model design is also 3D.
Heinz Dziurowitz, a flight simulator developer, has also created an add-on for the X-Plane, the P38-J Lightening. This cool add-on aircraft comes with a cockpit that is functional and detailed. The outside of the plane is attractive and has a very authentic appearance.
Individuals with X-Plane software can now purchase GMap for it. GMap, which was developed by FSWidgets is a map system that can work in conjunction with Google Maps. Individuals will be able to access FMS flight pans. GMap has proven to be popular with other simulation software packages and the likelihood that it will also be well received by X-Plane owners is pretty good because it is such a great add-on for flight simulation programs.
X-Aviation announce its release of the most complete GA single simulation in X-Plane, the Sequoia Falco.
Sequoia Falco offers a highly interactive cockpit in 3D. In the press release, X-Aviation stated that they expect their customers to enjoy the experience which Sequoia Falco provides. X-Aviation also stated that Falco is for simulators who enjoy GA flying or those who need a good GA to practice their scanning skills on while working the radios and other controls.

The flight simulation industry will have an eventful year in 2011. X-Plane 10 is expected to release sometime in 3Q11. Microsoft Flight, a new take on the old Microsoft Flight Simulator, is rumored to be ready later this year as well. Despite all the anticipation, a larger question remains for X-Plane fans - what can be expected from X-Plane 10 in terms of new features, airplanes, scenery, and the long awaited improvement in ATC?
X-Plane flight simulator series has been with us for many years now, and from Version 9, we can say it has been a good competitor in the flight simulation market; for both PC/Mac home use and for professional flight simulation installations. Announced earlier this year was Version 10 of the X-Plane package. Version 10 will bring amazing new features such as better graphics, world environments and cockpit/flight functionality. While the full feature list hasn't yet been released by Laminar Research (the developers of X-Plane), we have cited some of the confirmed details from around the Internet.
In a press release, X-Plane development company X-Aviation have announced a partnership with JRollon.com to produce their seaplane package for X-Plane titles the Seamax M-22. The add-on aircraft features a complete 3D model design with realistic flight dynamics and many 3D effects.
