Product Description:

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.

What's new in this version:

Cloud refinements: Both low and high Cirrus cloud types are now available.
Mouse-control region is now ok at hi resolutions.
No more semi-transparent horizon in the 3-d cockpits.
More precision in placement of speedbrakes and gear doors in Plane-Maker.
Ctrl-\ works for keyboard access to the circling-with-cockpit view.
Fuel flow more accurate for jets at high altitude.
ALL art horizons and HSIs now show pitch and roll and heading in replay.
The heading HOLD select and heading SYNC knobs are now swapped left/right on the directionsl gyros to match more planes.
The +/- keys are back to doing ZOOM, not MOVE, in the "@" view. Why? Because I like it a lot more this way.
It's ok to have garmin 430s and also generic fms's and gps's all in the same cockpit now... that could cause crashes before.
See the artificial stability screen in Plane-Maker: You can control the FADEC constants now as well.
Minor refinement on NAVAID ranges.
Autopilot altitude annunciators stay lit after the altitude is acquired.
Further autopilot tweaks to smooth the response out in turbulence, and give more accuracy and authority.

9.3 beta 5 is a beta, you do not want to install it over a full working x-plane installation. These early betas are usually full of bugs and can totally wipe out a previous installation.
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.

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...
