Hello there!
Beta testers are currently helping us track down bugs and issues in X-Plane 11.30. We have a couple major changes that are in 11.30 to highlight this month, so that everyone's ready for them once we can release a clean, stable version.
11.30 FeaturesAutopilot Updates
X-Plane 11.30 includes quite a few autopilot changes (http://email.x-plane.com/e/c/eyJlbWFpbF9pZCI6IlpLOExBQUZtejVvaTY3c0tTdkQyZHNkQ2 5SRT0iLCJocmVmIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9kZXZlbG9wZXIueC1wbGFu ZS5jb20vYXJ0aWNsZS9wcmVjb25maWd1cmVkLWF1dG9waWxvdH MtYW5kLW90aGVyLWF1dG9waWxvdC1jaGFuZ2VzLWluLTExLTMw LyIsImxpbmtfaWQiOjcwNzcxMzkyLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MX0/dc2a54c307e37d49ebd70671836f942ed5068976021894ec38 7698db25044477). A new S-Tec 55, which is a high-end general aviation dual-axis rate-based digital autopilot, in now installed in the default Cessna 172, and we have a video tutorial on how to use it.Â

Gateway NewsScenery artist Anthony Dyer is on a mission to provide 3D scenery for all of the UK's airports.
What motivates you to develop X-Plane scenery?
It kind of grew, as hobbies do, from satisfying my desire to fill in a few empty airports to the objective of making sure every airport under National Air Traffic Service (NATS) control in the UK was included in 3D. With every airport, attention to detail was important. I wanted to make airports that were enjoyable to fly to repeatedly. So If I could see a detail on the satellite image, no matter how insignificant, it had to go into the flight simulator. I think hobbies in the United Kingdom are things that we treat very seriously, whether it's gardening, photography or in my case the prior two as well as airport building.
For me when I'm traveling on assignment, it's been a very accessible hobby and one I can do almost anywhere in the world whenever I have some spare time. I've also found that when I've showed off my work to friends and colleagues who aren't into flight simulators, a lot of them appreciate it. I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that everyone goes flying on commercial airliners these days, so they can all relate to a particular airport. If they see it in a virtual rendering, it makes them smile and that matters a lot.

The new voice system is quite nice. With a few additional voices and mods to the airspace definition files, you could even have regional dialects.

As for the flight guidance side of things, well...same old, same old, lol.

Give it time...they are making changes much quicker now!
