We previously projected that X-Plane 10 would be released in December of 2010. We now know that we won’t be able to meet this date and still deliver the simulator that we envision X-Plane 10 to be; in order to meet the standards we have for Version 10, we have to push its release back some number of months. We’re working out a new release date now–a date that won’t be pushed back again–which we will announce as soon as possible. In the meantime, our development team will continue to work as efficiently as possible on this massive undertaking.

With all the new technologies we’re bringing together in X-Plane 10, we believe the new simulator will be a major new landmark in X-Plane’s history. We know how eager our fans are to see the finished product, but this delay will ensure that the product you see is one that will elevate X-Plane to an entirely new level.

The last couple of weeks have been busy for our mobile apps. Here’s what’s been updated since the beginning of November:

• X-Plane 9 (iPhone/iPod Touch/Pre)
• X-Plane Airliner
• X-Plane Extreme
• X-Plane Carrier
• X-Plane Glider
• X-Plane Racing
• X-Plane Helicopter
• X-Plane Apollo
• Space Shuttle
• X-Plane HDEF 4G
• X-Plane for iPad
• EFIS App for iPad

Many of these updates include new aircraft, so if you haven’t checked for updates in the App Store lately, you should!

Note that these updates are not impacting X-Plane 10′s development; they are managed almost exlusively by Austin, owner of X-Plane, whose portion of X-Plane 10-related work is essentially complete. The rest of the development team is, and has been, working at full steam on Version 10.

As the different pieces of X-Plane 10 are being pulled together and finalized, we’re putting new photo releases on hold. When the final product emerges, expect a torrent of multimedia here!
