Some upcoming x-plane 10 screens
EHM-1997 Alexander:
Love the lighting and those roads. ;)
EHM-1997 Alexander:
While this video is shot in x-plane 9, it features some of the new updated default aircraft models going to be included in x-plane 10.
X-Plane's 2010 Official OshKosh Video created for Laminar Research
EHM-0654 Murray:
Grr... I so want a pre-order page for X10... Don't see the point in buying X9 now with only 4-6 months to X10 shipping. The x737project B738 in the Oshkosh vid is making me vibrate with desire.
EHM-1997 Alexander:
Yeah, that is a nice bit of freeware - 2d panel only though.
Word on the org is that xplane 10 will be $80 - xp9 is only $29.99 so you may feel you'll get your moneys worth in that time. TBH I would wait though, both ATC and weather are getting an overhaul for v10.
You may find this payware announcement to be of interest too - http://forums.x-pilot.com/index.php?topic=1155.0 'tis a 300 classic I expect it will be great if it materialises as mortens involved and the XPFW team have a solid track record behind them.

Re: 2D panel, that's not so much of a problem. I already have the important aircraft systems in external software/hardware (Project Magenta CDU/PFD/MCP/EFIS and FDS CDU/MCP/EFIS), so all I care about in the cockpit is the things I don't yet have hardware controls for - fwd and aft overheads and auto-brakes being the big ones (although I can control auto-brakes through the CDU). Reading the x737 thread on that forum the next major release will have a 3D cockpit and I have infinite patience for freeware developers. Heck, I'd even donate if it meant everyone got it a little bit earlier.
If it's $80, so be it; FSX cost more than that (FSX Deluxe and then the Accel. Pack...) and I got a hell of a lot less with it (assuming X10 will still ship with decent res world-wide textures). I just hope it doesn't arrive in November, as thanks to Kinnect and the new XBox 360 I'm tapped in November (and have been for a month or so...)
As for the classic, all my simpit gear is for the NG (-800 specifically), as is all my systems knowledge now... ;) But, those are *very* pretty pictures.
One final one, and I'll be Googling this shortly; is there a decent (preferably freeware) EGLL for X-Plane, of no less quality than the Gary Summons/UK2000 "standard" version? (Wonder if it's worth dropping Gary an email and seeing if he wants to convert his sceneries to X-Plane... Or is FS2XPlane good enough to do this for me?) On [ another XPlane forum ], someone actually recommended using FS2XPlane on Gary's sceneries (and that they work really well). Since I'm a legal owner of all his FSX standard scenery, and EGLL Xtreme, I'll be sorted... ;D
