X-Plane 10.40 Update
This latest release contains numerous performance enhancements, bug fixes, and exciting new additions, all leading to a substantial update of X-Plane 10. The most exciting new feature is Control Pad, an App for the iPad that allows users to control X-Plane functions dynamically while flying the simulator. Not only can a user now change weather, position, and initiate failures from the device, but it is accomplished without pausing X-Plane or interrupting their flight. Control Pad can also function as a portable instructor station, allowing a flight instructor or friend to throw all manner emergency situations at you while flying X-Plane 10, such as sending a flock of birds into your windshield or causing the cockpit to fill with smoke. Best of all, Control Pad for X-plane 10.40 is free for download on the Apple App Store. >>Link<<
The new 10.40 update also includes major improvements to the weather and scenery systems. Scenery loading has been dramatically improved, resulting in much sharper scenery at extended ranges. The ATC system has also seen improvements, with easier-to-change radio frequencies, as well as the ability to see whose online. A new AVI-based movie recording feature now works in both 32 and 64 bit.
With the recent release of World Editor 1.4 and the Airport Scenery Gateway, thousands of new highly detailed airports are now included with X-Plane 10, with almost 500 added in this update alone. Major airports like Chicago O’hare, Atlanta, Frankfurt, London Heathrow, and Hong Kong are now richly detailed in X-Plane, with hundreds more to come in future updates.
Manchester was one of the bigger UK airports that was missing from X-Plane 10 but we are happy to announce the release of Airport Manchester done for us by the Icarus Development Team. This is a state of the art development that includes all of the latest features of X-Plane 10. From ultra-high definition textures to the detailed rendering of all buildings. If you like X-Plane, you will love Airport Manchester!

X-Plane 10.30 Update
This latest release represents the largest and most significant X-Plane update to date.
It not only contains numerous fixes and performance improvements, but also some substantial additions to the product itself. Foremost is the inclusion of the new GPS.
The previous versions of X-Plane also included a GPS instrument but it could only do direct-to navigation and could not implement a GPS approach. With the recent introduction of GPS enabled approach systems at many airports, the new GPS in X-Plane will allow customers to practice actual GPS approaches using an instrument familiar to most general aviation pilots. The new GPS is a drop-in replacement for the old X-Plane GPS, so that with one click in Laminar’s PlaneMaker, old aircraft can be upgraded to the more IFR capable version. The X-Plane 10.30 default aircraft come with the new GPS already installed. The new GPS is based on the Garmin 430 and Garmin 530 and both variants are included.
The 10.30 update also includes major improvements to both the weather and scenery systems. The system for the placement of autogen scenery has been refined so buildings, trees, and other objects more accurately reflect their real-world counterparts.
With the recent release of World Editor 1.3 and the Airport Scenery Gateway, hundreds of new highly detailed airports have also been included in this latest and major update to X-Plane 10.
