I could be wrong, but I thought I read that Laminar did not send out any pre release review versions to sites or magazines for review. So if thats the case, then I would not expect an in depth review for at least a few more weeks.

The only reviews ive read are personal opinions from those who got their full versions on forums etc.

Avsim.com has an Xplane forum. There are lots of opinions there about XP10. Some good, some bad. It heats up there quite a bit and the threads quickly go south, so you have to sift through a lot of banter to get to any useful information. I left feeling like I knew less about Xplane than before I went on there. This seems to always be the case when a new sim comes out.

There is also Xplane.org and x-scenery.com. Those are all that I know. There may be more. Im not an xplane expert. Im sure there are other web sites.

Hope this helps,

Rob

Until we see decent indepth reviews, I'm glad we have the demo and it keeps being updated, as that is a great way to see how it would run on our systems and also to experience how XP10 handles the flightsim world compared to other sims.

Just based on my observations, it seems like XP10 functions best for those that were already XP9 experienced, either they already know how to tweak their settings or had hardware combos that worked well with the way XPlane works, and they had already gotten used to the way it handles views and the world differently from FSX so they can jump right in and enjoy it, as it seems like the impressive looking videos and reviews are coming from those XP experienced folks whereas many of us who are new to it but hopeful still seem to be struggling to get it to run well and get used to how to fly and do basic stuff like views, TrackIR and move around in the world.

Thankfully the demo keeps getting updated and I think the timeout was extended to 15min so hopefully it will allow people like me to stick with it as it is improved and eventually get it running well, so far i am not ready to drop $80 on it, but am still hopeful for it to get better and for me to learn how to work with it so that it will be worth it to me to purchase it.
