X-Plane 9.30 Beta 15

X-Plane 9.30 Beta 15 is designed to introduce a new engine-model and have really perfected flight dynamics. X-Plane is the ultimate general-aviation flight sim. With hardware-accelerated texture-mapped graphics, dynamic speech synthesis, full-planet terrain-mapped scenery, helicopters, and the widest range of airplanes available in flight simulation, X-Plane will keep your eyes popping out for hours.

Enhancements:

1. Plane-Maker can snap wings OK now.
2. RESET PATH map-button and menu-option now reset the paths of ALL planes... not just yours.
3. Frame-rate counter should run a bit smoother.
4. Ever so slight tuning of the rotor/propeller model.
5. 'Start on Ramp' option back in the Operations and Warnings window.
6. Should now work with REMOTE for iPhone, even if you are still on an old power PC!
7. APU n1 saved with the situation and replay.
8. Runway bumps fixed when "runway follows terrain contours" is off.
9. Runways no longer bright at night with shaders on and per-pixel lighting off.
10. Facades drape on sloped ground.
11. App icons look correct on OS X 10.3 and 10.4.
12. Orthophoto distance tuned for anisotropic filtering.
13. 72 hz frequency monitors recognized in rendering settings
14. Text entry into numeric fields improved
15. Datarefs for PFC equipment are writable
16. Rotation-speed datarefs for wheels/props/engines won't go negative.
