There have been 10 free updates to the other X-Plane programs so far (with more planned), and future free updates to THIS app will include more flight-training scenarios… maybe steep turns and stalls? There have been 10 free updates to the other X-Plane programs so far (with more planned), and future free updates to this app will include more re-entry options (perhaps trying it from even FARTHER out than 600 miles?) and perhaps some more detailed missions as well! This has to be one of the more advanced iPhone apps… What you learn there will directly impact how you fly the sim, since the sim is pretty realistic! New scenery area for Extreme: Edwards Air Force Base! This is a nice huge flying area for you! Neither is much fun on it’s own, but load up the X-15 and switch to an external view to see why they are good together! Hit Google and do some research on how the X-15 was flown, and landed. Improved multi-touch: Collective and tail-rotor control are now possible at the same time… just put one finger on the collective, one on the tail-rotor… you can now control them both at once! Frame rate optimizations.įinal-Approach buttons should always work well… there were a few hilly-terrain cases that started you off a bit low, but those should be addressed. If you fly off the edge of a level, you now wrap around the other side, on all X-Plane apps… this is especially useful for X-Plane Extreme, where you cover ground really, really fast. The multi-touch on the maps is really nicer now. Better mouse-response on the map and window scaling, translating, zooming, etc. We also have two new planes for X-Plane Extreme in this update: The X-15 and B-52! Google them to see how they go together! This also applies to operating the tail-rotor and collective at once in X-Plane Helicopter.

The “X-Plane 9” app also has slightly better frame-rate, and improved multi-drag, which is good for zooming and dragging and rotating the maps. Version 9.20 is here, the eleventh free upgrade to the X-Plane line-up! We now have improved rendering, showing stars at night and more realistic water as well. The device will prompt for the username and password which were used to purchase the applications, then it will automatically download the updates. There, simply select Update All (as marked in the image below). To get the latest updates to all your mobile X-Plane applications, go to the App Store (found on the device’s “home page”) and tap Updates down at the bottom of the screen. As the graphics, flight, and interface technology are improved in one app, we will be periodically updating all the various X-Plane Mobile applications with that new technology, so much more is still in the wings!įor example, when the RAM and frame rate were optimized for X-Plane Airliner, those changes were released in a free update to the “X-Plane 9” app as well. The X-Plane Mobile line of flight simulators for the iPhone and iPod Touch receive free periodic updates.
