X plane 10 mobile mods update#

Now, I think that Ben and company have done a remarkable job in bringing X-Plane out of the 1980’s Level-D simulator style graphics, but they are a small team, and probably too small to effectively develop all that we want in the same time frame as anything that Microsoft or Lockheed Martin are able to do. It grew from there, but most of the conversations that I had with Austin in years past always left me with the impression that looking out the window other than to see the runway was not what X-Plane was designed for, thus making the fact that other flight simulators had more major landmarks (not to mention accurate taxiway layouts, airport buildings, etc…) 20+ years ago unfortunately irrelevant.

The main, points that X-Plane was designed around in the beginning were accuracy in instrumentation and flight physics. I don’t disagree, but X-Plane from the beginning has been about instrument training, so while landmarks are mostly used for navigation in a VFR environment, the focus was on IFR. Because we cannot know if an aircraft has such work-arounds applied, the prop torque fix is applied only to aircraft resaved in 10.45 beta 1 or newer. This way the fix takes affect when an aircraft author can remove work-arounds. We have heard of authors doing a number of things to lower the effects of prop torque in old versions of X-Plane, including having plugins apply a counter-torque and tweaking the physics parameters of the aircraft itself. In order to get the new correct physics, you must resave your aircraft in Plane-Maker 10.45 beta 1. Prop torque is fixed in X-Plane 10.45 beta 1 the calculation was incorrect (causing too much torque from props) in previous versions of X-Plane.

To get the new beta, run the X-Plane installer, update your copy of X-Plane and make sure “get new betas” is checked. X-Plane 10.45 Beta 1 is out – here are the release notes. This is a small update in terms of code change the new feature is updated global airports and nav data, as well as a bunch of bug fixes the beta period should be relatively short.
