Laminar Research has released a new version of
X-Plane, "the world's most comprehensive, powerful flight simulator". This new version (v6.70) features new plugins, some speed optimizations for higher frame-rate, support for more OS-X joysticks, more fine-tune control over the view in world maker, and more. As usual, this release will act as a demo if you do not have an X-Plane 6.x CD, and as a patch for the full version if you do have an X-Plane 6.x CD.
