![]() ![]() The content of X-Plane 11 is also considerably expanded. The sound engine is fully usable and extendable by third-party add-ons. ![]() This works on a global scale resulting in spatially correct audio placement of any aircraft and any object within the scenery while also taking the current location of the user into account. The simulator can now be controlled much more intuitively thanks to this well-thought-out menu structure.įurthermore, X-Plane 11 features a brand-new sound engine that realizes 3D surround sound with high quality samples. In the completely redesigned user interface, the control setup, aircraft, airports and weather options are now presented with a visual preview which makes editing them a breeze. It was also developed with very good performance in mind. This technique works dynamically which means that graphical effects no longer have to be pre-rendered. Due to 'Physically Based Rendering', illumination and reflections behave in physically correct ways and change depending on viewing angle and the object’s surface. A new rendering engine makes the whole world appear in a new light – literally. The 11th edition of X-Plane offers a much more realistic and immersive experience. The Aerosoft Airport Pack includes the additional six airports: Lugano, Toulouse, Weeze, Manchester, Maastricht-Aachen and Svolvær. Thanks to its open structure, all users and enthusiasts can change every single part of it and adapt it to their preferences. In this simulator, there is a whole world to discover. If you feel like not having a 3d tablet, you can hide it on the fly with a click-spot on the forward suction cup.X-Plane 11 is the latest version in the flight simulator series for Windows, Mac, and Linux systems. These include selecting loading state, your role as captain or first officer, weight and baro unit selection, and baro syncing and much more. Keep track of the status of your flight using the built-in checklists, never miss a switch or a setting again!Ĭonfigure the aircraft to your liking with the onboard settings menu. You will be able to enter your desired flight load and watch your passengers and baggage load and even check boarding passes for each passenger from the Payload Status page. Load and service your plane using the Payload Manager. Set yourself as Captain, and your friend as First Officer, your weights will be included in the operating weight of the aircraft. See your aircraft statistics per livery, including total flight and engine hours, and how many passengers you have carried. Patch notes are also available to be read in sim. The Features here are only the start of what we have planned to come for the JPad, but already you have several things you can do:Īlways stay up today with notifications of patches right on the JPad home screen. You will have access to a 3d tablet in the flight deck or as a 2d pop-up. The JPad is our solution to the UI and menus used in the past. There are many other things to mention, but we don't want to spoil the fun of finding out all the little details we introduced on the Q4XP so we'll leave the rest for you to discover.Įvery plane these days need an EFB to make it complete. If you're a Q400 pilot, we worked hard to make you feel right at home and if not, you'll see what it feels to be one. The cockpit ambience has been carefully reproduced, honoring the individual elements sound levels, 3D positions and material resonance, which makes your soundscape a living space that just seems real. You can appreciate how the interior ambience evolves smoothly as you move from the cockpit into the cabin, with every separate space like the lavatory or the forward baggage compartment having its own acoustic characteristics. All switches, buttons, levers, doors, even the cabin window shades, tray tables and overhead bins are modelled. The interactions of the formidable Dowty R408 propellers with the air mass are modelled for all pitch angles and RPM regimes, simulating even the transmission of vibration through the aircraft structure and the effect the Q400 unique Active Noise Control system has on the interior ambience.Įvery single moving part on the aircraft produces a sound and were recorded from real aircraft. ![]() We captured the distinctive tones of its gearing, starter, low pressure and high pressure turbines and reproduced a whole cohesive sound field from all angles. The components of the Pratt & Whitney PW150A engine were recreated separatedly for operational realism. When it comes to sound, we believe the Q4XP could be easily the most detailed and faithfully reproduced aircraft for X-Plane yet. ![]()
