Finally :) have to admit to running X-Planes on win and on iOS and being a flight sim enthusiast ( and owning FSX and various expansion modules)

I don't see anything that's particularly useful for our purposes. I'm going to stick with 9

@chris u are probably right, I am guilty of owning the rest of the gear ( yokes,pedals, quadrants, head trackers etc), some of the new features is of interest to me as flight sim enthusiast :)

@Anish  yeah i have a friend who's like you, owns every sim and entirely too many accessories for it, heh :P
@Chris  It will be interesting to see how good the updated weather modeling will affect flight, i'm hoping for some more realism in the sim when it comes to turbulence and wind.  Besides i'll be buying it anyway, I like prettier things and $80 isn't so much for me ;)

> Now is this fully compatible with APM?

 

Just tried it myself, and it seems it is not... but simple to "fix" if you're able to build the Mission Planner yourself.

 

The Mission Planner is expectng to get back the necessary data packets {3,4,17,18,19,20} from X-plane (see http://code.google.com/p/ardupilot-mega/wiki/Xplane). However in X-plane 10 these are now on {3,4,16,17,18,20} respectively.

 

If you're able to compile the Mission Planner yourself, it is easy to work around this with a few quick changes to the affected DATA[X] references in Simulation.cs.  Otherwise, probably out of luck until X-plane 10 gets added as an additional option to the Mission Planner.
