Another "Demo" version? - Version: 9.30 Beta-3, 2/18/2009 07:41PM PST

The installer states it will install a new "Web Demo" copy of X-Plane. The updater used to install the latest beta version of X-Plane into the existing directory where the app lives. I have the DVD's of version 9 and want to get updates/betas, NOT demo version of X-Plane...Please explain this to me...

I am a little confused here...The installer is saying it will download and install a "Demo" version of X-Plane. I have the DVD's for version 9...I don't want a DEMO version. Am I mixed up or missing something here?
Thanx!
Thanx!

Caution with 920rc2 for Mac - Version: 9.2rc2, 8/15/2008 04:49AM PST

The first release of 920rc2 will crash on your Mac. A shame as this version builds on the generic instrument model which allows more flexibility for builders. Usual 'improvements' in the flight model etc. Also note that the plug-in system has been extended allowing more access to the internals of X-Plane. On the down side, most of the fly by keyboard stuff is gone. PPC vs. Intel networking does not work, so Old Macs can't network with newer Macs and PCs. Prefs have been moved to the 'Output' folder.
This is another beta round - Version: 9.2b3, 7/6/2008 06:02PM PST

9.20 is where X-Plane 9 should have started. Continuous improvement in the flight model and some more long standing bugs, fixed. Remember that this is still a beta or Test version and things will change over the next few weeks. Don't download this version if you are a builder as there is a nasty bug in the panel editor.

I bought X-plane 8 one month before v9 beta was published and the guy wanted the full price (79$ and not 59!) for the next version, although he promises free updates for several years on his web site. The software might be a good sim, but the update policy makes it unrecommendable.

As a pilot I use X-Plane on a PC desktop (because there're cheap). This version has the best provided aircraft and aircraft instrument panels of all the versions. Detail is much better in all aspects. Lines are smoother, blending looks good. Usability has a decent frame rate. Haven't tried the G1000 cockpits yet, this will make or break X-Plane as MS Flight Simulator X has an excellent G1000 cockpit display including weather and traffic. Unfortunately, it takes a super computer to run it. Scenery is getting better with every version of X-Plane and this version appears to have the best scenery. I couldn't find any roads or highways to check for accuracy, but the mountains, rivers and lakes seem to be up to par. Still checking some of the finer details of instrument flight and aerodynamics. One bug I found was the Cirrus "The Jet" landing lights can be seen under the wings of the aircraft when it flies over head. It's still beta.

For the first time since I fly X-Plane, the main window is shifted to the right and low region of my monitor. I cannot acces the commands. Conclusion : I cannot use this software.

2nd time I downloaded and tried this program, but i was again disappointed. As a pilot myself, for all its 1.1 Gig data it simply does not appear to have intuitive or normal responses expected from keyboard command, (on iMac g-5). To bad, graphics look pretty good.
What most long time x-plane users do is either wait for the final version, or create a separate install for the betas... a demo will work as a full install (not time limited) with your x-plane boot disk in the drive.
