X-Plane 11 Beta IS OVER! Final changes before regular update

[txnetcop]

Hello there!
Laminar Research is happy to announce X-Plane 11 is now final, and out of beta testing! And this month we're starting a new feature on outstanding Gateway airports, along with our regular tips and add-ons.

X-Plane 11 beta period is over

X-Plane 11 is out of beta testing and is now an official full release. This means it should be fairly stable and feature complete, and the Laminar Research team will get started working on more improvements and features for the first free update. In addition, X-Plane 11 is now available to purchase through Steam (http://email.x-plane.com/e/c/eyJlbWFpbF9pZCI6Ik1UUTFOVG9XQTBNQ1pBQUNjd0FYQTNvVE dnRlluaDJvYkJVREdGamVSTUFCYlRvME56TXdORE1BIiwicG9z aXRpb24iOjEsImhyZWYiOiJodHRwOi8vc3RvcmUuc3RlYW1wb3 dlcmVkLmNvbS9hcHAvMjY5OTUwLyIsImxpbmtfaWQiOjM0NDk5 OTUzfQ/c1f2456a31b1e5568bde19a1de561acaa18f998eaa275657cc 70aa31507333eb)Â and DVDs will be coming shortly.

Tips and Tricks

Adjusting settings in the Weight, Balance and Fuel window in X-Plane 11 can completely change the aircraft's behavior. You can see how much harder it is to take off when overweight, change the center of gravity, or adjust how long you can fly before running out of fuel.
To see all these features in action, check out this video on the weight, balance and fuel screen in X-Plane 11 (http://email.x-plane.com/e/c/eyJlbWFpbF9pZCI6Ik1UUTFOVG9XQTBNQ1pBQUNjd0FYQTNvVE dnRlluaDJvYkJVREdGamVSTUFCYlRvME56TXdORE1BIiwicG9z aXRpb24iOjMsImhyZWYiOiJodHRwczovL3lvdXR1LmJlLzJURV 91TFBuektRIiwibGlua19pZCI6MzQ0OTk5NTV9/ee013fa3f960f3b9382161ba3b497023ef2ae9231e2a71589a e94e0c62caa556).

KJFK is already shipping with X-Plane 11, but the others will be coming in future updates so you'll get this amazing scenery without having to do a thing.

Happy flying!

'fairly stable'

Just has me brimming over with confidence :biggrin-new:

[txnetcop]

I still can't run it even with a new video card upgrade. I'm gonna have to upgrade my CPU and motherboard..maybe late summer. However XP 10 runs like a champ, but I'm greedy I guess I want the new world scenery!:jump: I'm still very content with FSX and especially all new and very detailed freeware that is out there. I doubt if I will ever give FSX up completely.

I am very skeptical that I would be able to run XP11 well, I have a pretty good CPU though an I5 not I7 but my Graphics card is only a Nvidea 660Ti. Haven't had XP since v6 which I hated compared to the then FS2000 (I think). It seemed that it was basically a DOS program in a Windows enviroment.

[Boss86001]

X-Plane 11 is excellent, but you will need a lot better CPU and video card being as you are very outdated. I have recently uninstalled P3d and FSX a long time ago.

[Naismith]

They have set a very high bar which counts me out how can a Intel Core i5 6600K be outdated? Graphics card I can accept but not being a Rockefeller I will stay with FSX.
