A really quick note on transitioning to X-Plane 10:
X-Plane 10 will support X-Plane 9 scenery.
X-Plane 10 will support X-Plane 9 airplanes.
X-Plane 10 will support X-Plane 9 objects.
X-Plane 10 will support X-Plane 9 airfoils.
X-Plane 10 will support X-Plane 8 airfoils.
X-Plane 10 will support X-Plane 7 airfoils.
BUT.... X-Plane 10 will NOT support older airfoils than version 7!
This may seem like a trivial issue... until you see that there are still a number of old version 6 airfoils floating around out there.
So, all aircraft authors and even people that just have collections of their own airplanes should update their airfoils and perhaps even aircraft to the latest version (9) right now!
This way, when X-Plane 10 comes out just in time for this Christmas, all of your planes and airfoils and scenery will work with it right out of the box.
To update all of your airfoils to the latest (version 9) format, run Airfoil-Maker, go to the FILE menu, and select BATCH UPDATE AIRFOILS
To update all of your airplanes to the latest (version 9) format, runPlane-Maker, go to the SPECIAL menu, and select BATCH CONVERT AIRCRAFT TO LATEST FORMAT
If you do this now to update all of your airplanes and airfoils to version 9, then they should read right into version 10 this Christmas, no problem at all, since they will be v9 file format.
If you have planes posted at your various web sites or stores, then be sure to update them to v9 in the manner described above and re-upload them, so they work for customers the moment v10 is released!
