From the big boss, earlier today:

OK you folks have not heard from me in forever, but trust me when I say it is because I am busier coding than you can imagine!

We are getting very close to X-Plane 10.30 Beta 1, and the feature-list is simply extraordinarily huge.

These will all be “making it work just perfectly” type features to really dial X-Plane in to the point that it is doing the job it needs to do, free of bugs or other quirkiness that make complex programs difficult to use. I will be announcing the beta when it is ready for public testing (we have been in private beta for some weeks now).

Next: Here is a cool new helo that was just introduced for X-Plane:

I usually do not announce each new craft for X-Plane since there are so many of them, but in this case I just had to make an exception since this bird looks just so darn good.

So, look for the public 10.30 Beta soon, and give the Dreamfoil 407 a try if you like!

I’ve been meaning to post something about 10.30 too, but every day is exactly the same: I wake up, think I should post a status update and go “oh, I’ll do that later when I’m too tired to code.”  Follow that with: code all day, survive dinner and bed-time with a two-year-old, and inevitably I end up being too tired to even post a status update.

I’ll get a few details up in the next 24 hours.  Having put it in writing, now I can’t put it off anymore.

  5. You surviving bed-time with a two-year old? Think about me, surviving dinner & bed time with a two-month-old and without news about X-Plane…

  7. Surviving bedtime…have you tried to survive final approach with a two year old as lap-copilot…I didn’t.
    Cheer up!

    1. At least your kid is a co-pilot. Mine will be captain and PIC every time he sees me flying. Did I mention my second 3-weeks-old son acting as ATC?

  8. U guys rock, git r dun! haha, I needs m’ visibilties an m’ garminz…. I apologize, keep up the good work..

  9. This post is the most long-awaited for me. Tonight I will sleep like a baby which will soon bring a toy called 10.30b1. Seriously, I wish successful completion of a new stage with a minimum bugs.
