Hello there!
X-Plane 11.30 is in the first stages of private beta testing, so we expect it will be available as a public beta later this month.
JustFlight Interview
We recently talked with JustFlight, an add-on developer who has recently begun developing aircraft for X-Plane. Just Flight is well known in the simulation community for hosting events like the annual Flight Sim Show in Cosford, England, hosting a marketplace for add-on developers and developing a line of their own high-quality add-ons.
Q: Favourite Just Flight X-Plane project to date?
A: In the year since we started developing for X-Plane 11 we have focused on converting our range of GA aircraft, and the PA-28R Arrow III (our first release) has been the most popular GA aircraft so far. It’s the perfect aircraft for training or touring and offers a good step up in complexity from simpler aircraft like our C152. Our current favourite is probably the PA-28R Turbo Arrow III/IV as it has
superior performance and the T-tail configuration just looks great, but our upcoming Hawk T1/A will be hard to beat in terms of performance, handling characteristics and pure enjoyment – especially when flown in VR at low-level!
