We're getting closer to the desktop version 😁

• Incredibly realistic V12 Flight Model from soon-to-be-released X-Plane Desktop!

• One of the fastest business jets created...the Citation X! Fully functional with top tier sound quality.

So long as we don't get a surprise announcement that X-Plane 12 will be mobile only 🤪

I don't think so, but probably the desktop versions will take a while longer ...

I'd say we won't get desktop before the end of september ( ? )

Recently purchased an iPad Pro. Got to admit, XP mobile looks pretty decent on it and runs well. Good for a few minutes of easing boredom, but definitely a good thing of bringing more people into the hobby

How does it do the Moon phases ?

But it's not a game! 😄

Didn't they say something about end of August?

Yup, said in the next 30 days about 30 days ago.

He did indeed, so sometime this week is very plausible.

Well... I guess we can still wait a few days or even weeks. 😉 Personally, I don't have much time for simming recently anyway. But it'll be nice to have a sim with a polished flight model soon. Just hope the Toliss will run on it soon after release.

YAHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are on our way to the good stuff on desktop.  Tak Sethos.!!!

Possibly the most nuanced change log I've ever read.

don't expect big new changes like microsoft did with fsx to msfs.  xplane focuses more on aircraft/flight simulation, not pretty visuals👍

Exactly,

I intend to use XP12 pretty much as I do use IL-2 Great Battles which is still the most advanced prop and ww2 era jet / rocket aircraft simulator I ever used...

I believe XP12 will bring some really great graphic enhancements regarding weather and lighting, as well as autogen, plus a built from scratch ATC system, detailled and high quality sounds, services at airports, etc...

But above all X-Plane has always been ahead of competition in offering by default and through it's core FDE a much more detailled and accurate flight and systems modeling platform.

I will use it mostly as a "test tool" rather than as a "simulate pretending being a pilot doing it's job" thing....

I'll use it to be able to get more realistic systems and aerodynamics than what I get with MFS, and although I confess I AM IN LOVE with MFS, Love hasn't made me blind.... I am well aware of what I have to drop in order to be able to enjoy the spectacular environment for flight simulation MFS offers, and I know I will start XP12 whenever the "business" is testing or getting a better feel of how the real thing acts, being it fixed wing or rotary, although I am well aware that MFS is debuting in realistic rotary flight dynamics anytime soon...

X-Plane 12 is a niche simulator. It's a proof of concept, a creation from someone who I do respect since years, and now developed by an even bigger and more enthusiastic Team @ LR.

I am sure it'll be a success in my simmer life 🙂

Want to taste the true feel of flying a ww2 fighter / bomber ?.... IL-2 will always be my choice, until proof to the contrary...

Same here... While using MSFS, XP user since V7. Lighting for example, if it is like thay say, will be physics based. Same for water. No to mention the improvements on Flight model...
