9.01 can't be much longer, considering he's been in and out of apple a lot recently.

yeah but still apple probably favors him, like they favor ea and stuff, da got to know when spore would come out

What?
If you mean by 'favour' that they trust big name developers more than they do bedroom developers, then yes, why wouldn't they.

This is not a game. This is a simulation. So yes, it's missing a lot of compared to games, but again, let's keep this what it is.

So, what's the highest altitude you guys have reached so far? I got up to 40,000 in the Cirrus before I lost patience and went for a nosedive to see how fast i could go.

LOL I made it to 45,000 and then did a nosedive and got up to 500mph. The plane was shaking. :D:D

How many business days has it been? I don't see Apple doing much app store activity on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday nights.

9.01 is showing up as an available update for me now.
EDIT: I installed it, here are some screenshots.

The pictures show the menu for setting the accelerometer, the new features in x-plane 9.01, the reorganized menus, and a screen capture of what the flaps and power automatically set themselves too on approach.

Yes, it does seem more smooth.

BTW, just received the desktop version today in the mail. Due to my workload, it will be a week or so before I have time to install and try it out.

Dang.

the latest update came out yesterday. Nice additions but I wish there were better instructions for how to use the new tools on their website. I'm no pilot but I love this game and use it more than any other application. Just wish I had more instructions.

has anybody heard anything from Austin lately regarding updates? It has been awhile. Hopefully he is working on something big (more locations, planes, etc.)

Yeah, I've been looking for updates of it every morning when I get up. I go into Byline, check the appstore updates, and I always end up disappointed cuz its not there =]
