Have X-plane running on Windows7 64bit and now also running on Linux and let me tell you: WHAT A HUGE HUGE difference it makes, and on the exact same machine. X-Plane on Linux is like "Steroids Mode" so fluid and stable. And the Rendering Settings are higher than the Windows settings.

So, great news again from the Pilotedge super team.

 

Cheers!

I am late to this party, but anyway:

There might be only very few Linux customers. The way you treat those 5 customers(*) speaks volumes about your professionalism and positive attitude in general.

 

 

 

(*) and the other 5 Linux freaks who--like me--still do not use their preferred platform, because one or two other "mandatory" addons are Windows-only.

Strange. What add-ons could possibly be mandatory? If you feel some add-ons are "mandatory" and don't support Linux then you'll technically not use X-Plane for any OS other than Windows anyhow. I suppose there could be some freeware, but still curious to know. Just right here you said:

But that doesn't bother me very much, because I have a personal policy that I do not pay for addons that do not support all three platforms.

[DenQuixote]

This "policy" is strategic. I try to eleminate variables one by one and not to introduce new ones as good as possible. Good thing is I can run X-Plane on multiple OS, thanks to Linux* even simultaneously in co-op off one installation base. That helps a lot with keeping that dreadful Windows dependency to its minimum.

* Actually OpenIndiana (ZFS), but that difference doesn't matter at this point, if this off topic discussion matters in the first place. When I think about it, this over-complex setup is there just because of the limitations of Windows, but well.
