X-Plane v10 for desktop is coming!
We have now finalized the X-Plane 10 release schedule for Macintosh, Windows, and Linux desktop computers! X-Plane 10 will be available on Christmas of 2011, at which time you will be able to order X-Plane from www.X-Plane.com!
***UPDATE*** XPlane v9 plugins, aircraft and scenery packs will still work in v10.]
I hear:
[Coming, Christmas 2011, the X-plane team will be launching the announcement of our latest delay!]
Put your software where you mouth is gentlemen, and I'll happily pull out the credit card.
