X-Plane 10 has been a product many of us users have been following with great anticipation. That said, there is much speculation going around with the release of X-Plane 10 and when it will happen.

Captains, Welcome back to X-Pilot.com! As noted on the new homepage, we have a completely new design, including the branding of X-Pilot itself. This is to put us more in line for the future and where we are headed. The downtime over the last 24 hours was part of a massive transition. Some of it is viewable now with the new forum design, but also new backend infrastructure was put in place to announce some new features to X-Pilot in the coming months. Needless to say, we anticipate for X-Pilot to become a complimented growth model with the new X-Plane 10 platform coming out. A lot of our new community features will work directly in X-Plane as time goes on, and when the time is right we'll announce such additions. With the new design here we introduce a variety of new features. They include: - A more robust forum system - A new chat room to have engaging conversations - New social media technology to integrate X-Pilot and X-Plane into our daily conversations with friends - News section for not only product releases, but also news around the community. You'll definitely want to keep on eye on this section! As always, thanks for being a part of X-Pilot. Without you, there is no 'us.' We are the community, and we're proud of it! Enjoy!

Welcome to the new home at X-Pilot.com! As you can see, X-Pilot has a new face, brand and back end software. This change is one that we have long desired here yet it had to come on it's own time. We have enjoyed good membership growth at X-Pilot since our launch and we feel that the timing is right to begin focusing on the inevitable growth X-Plane is about to see and also find new and creative ways to engage the community in this great flight sim. X-Plane 10 is far along in the works and getting closer to release every day, new technologies are emerging and new developers are coming to X-Plane, many with long histories in Microsoft's Flight Simulator and you can sense in the air that X-Plane is the sim to watch. So beginning in the very near future, we will begin to add new features here to make our community a great place to visit, to learn of developments in the X-Plane community, to learn new development techniques and to develop and share add-ons. Exciting times are ahead for flight sim enthusiasts, so stay tuned!
