The development video below shows a number of aircraft, all piloted by the X-Plane 10 artificial intelligence system, interacting with the new air traffic control system. Since the video was taken in the course of testing the ATC system, the scenery you see here is that of Version 9. Of note in the video are the variety of large and small aircraft,  as well as the smoothness of the departure and approach operations. The overall logic displayed is convincingly human.

Note that this video was captured on a single desktop computer equipped with a quad-core CPU; a similar level of performance should be achievable by most home users with a moderately new computer.

These are images of X-Plane 10 scenery. The shots were taken away from cities, with low forest density and few objects enabled in order to show off the raw terrain.

A quick video I took while integrating some of the X-Plane 10 art assets.  Most of what is shown here is still being worked on, but you can start to see the elements come together.

We’ve posted images of a number of cloudscapes using X-Plane 10′s sky and cloud rendering technology on our page on Facebook. Note that the mountains and terrain in these photos are those of Version 9; X-Plane 10 terrain, still being generated, will improve on this. Click the link below to visit our Facebook page:
