I think it is done.

I think so – pro customers need this.

Thank you Ben, looking forward to X11

Will we still be able to skip all the flight selection stuff and turn on X-Plane and immediately be right back in the same cockpit we left? That’s pretty key for cockpit builders.

In X-Plane 11:
1. The flight configuration window can configure everything. The outer window is like “Quick Flight” but the “Customize” buttons take you directly to ALL of the details.
2. Flight configuration shows up when you start the product – there’s a button from the main menu, which pops up early.
So – it should be about 10 seconds from starting the app to setting up your flight – you pick everything including detailed parking spots, weather, AI planes, you name it. It’s then one load to get flying (and that load is slow like v10).

Thx Ben, the real question would have been on the startup screen, at this stage we can select the airport but not the stand in 10.50

Or am I missing something??

Yes, you can pick your startup ramp – you can pick it by name or visually from an airport diagram.

Will the objects be updated – too vague to answer.

Thank you for this. However have 2 questions:

Will the objects be updated?
Will the new X-Plane interface be able to have the pilot select the startup ramp?

Cheers

Thanks, Ben. Sorry for the OT in the direction of system specs, but it’s good to be talking about it somewhere in public where we can get good answers directly from the gents that make the decisions.

This is big help in the right direction. I’m going to plan for a used Mac, maybe a Mini, that will meet the minimum spec for X-Plane 10, since that’s all we have to go on right now: 2.5ghz processor, 4gb of RAM and at least 1gb of VRAM or the equivalent. Hope that will be enough to at least function at the most basic level for plugin development purposes. If anything were to increase, it would be the RAM, I’m thinking. Hard to get more VRAM without robbing a bank!
