No, but big elephants who change the landscape dynamically(!) on the "fly" 🙂

It's been asked a zillion times and the answer is still the same – between Christmas 2010 and Q1 2011. If I read that question one more time I'm gonna hurl!

Another tuesday installment and no x-plane 10 scenery… I think we will see helicopters next week. What's the ETA on X-Plane 10 ???

Ben, you didn't address the most important question: will XP10 be named X-Plane X? (By the way, Marketing Department says hi.)

Two things:

"This blog seems to be the best way for XP9 customers to communicate with Ben regarding XP10."

Not necessarily ... email can be better. Also, until we have a beta out there, communication on v10 is perhaps premature.

"If people don't continue to air their concerns regarding the 25 NM maximum visibility limitation then Laminar will think its not important and most likely let the feature drop."

I think we already have enough input that this feature is 'strongly desired'. Whether it goes in or is deferred will depend entirely on implementation issues, not on how bad people want it.

Ben seems like a guy with integrity and approves blog posts even if they are somewhat critical. Kudos to him.

This blog seems to be the best way for XP9 customers to communicate with Ben regarding XP10. If people don't continue to air their concerns regarding the 25 NM maximum visibility limitation then Laminar will think its not important and most likely let the feature drop.

Anyway I'm going to stop commenting on this post because Ben and the rest of the Laminar team obviously are very busy trying to get XP10 ready for release.

Even if max visibility remains unchanged XP10 will still be a major advance over XP9.

Hey Ben,

Maybe this subtle quote will help, seeming as how they missed the whole idea of this post!
