LINUXGAMES

Version 8.20 of X-Plane was releasedrecently for retail users (the patch acts as a demo for those without the fullgame though). There are many new features, including working controls in thecockpit 3D mode, choosing slung load objects, and dynamic in-flight autopilotconstants. The site also has screenshots from version 8.21, which includes aGlobal Scenery texture pack.Version 8.21 is currently only available by orderingthe retail package, but I’m not certain which package Linux users should orderat the present: “X-Plane 8 DVD for LINUX” or “X-Plane 8.21 + NewGlobal Scenery”. I’ve e-mailed Laminar Research for clarification.
