Version 10.21 was a simulator update for X-Plane 10 released on 2013-05-02.

Changes

Release Candidate 2

  • Reverted change to light sizes when monitor resolution changes. This means airplanes look the way they did X-Plane 10.5, 10.11 and 10.20.
  • Fixed pitot heat switch on new C172 in 3-d cockpit.

Release Candidate 1

  • Updated Cessna with new, improved art files and flight model tuning.
  • Fixed dim airport lights when using 4x SSAA - HDR SSAA no longer affects light brightness.
  • Fixed crash on start-up on Japanese Macs.
  • Fixed edge cases where facades could draw junk or incorrect paths.
  • Fixed OBJ accuracy for scenery where 0 AGL is very close to Y=0 in the local coordinate system. This fixes bad object placement at KROC.
  • Joystick tracking cross matches mouse location when flying with the mouse, even when joystick curves are applied.

Beta 2

  • Fixed crash on Mac when running the CRJ plugin or resizing the window. Other plugins may have crashed too due to this bug.
  • Fixed curved non-closed facades to not loop back on themselves.
  • Fixed brightness of custom light billboards when HDR is on - they now match non-HDR.
  • Included 2013.04b data cycle, which puts back DMEs.
  • Fixed landing gear rendering in Plane-Maker.
  • Fixed visibility in hard-ball IFR to be a little bit higher.

Beta 1

10.21 introduces a default KATL layout using the new library airport elements; this is the beginning of the process of rolling out buildings as part of the global user-created airport data.

This release contains a number of bug fixes:

  • Latest (April 2013) airport and navaid data included. This data fixes a number of navaid bugs inclusing the KSFO glideslopes.
  • Kingair windshield wiper animation fixed.
  • Cockpit-object attached spill lights now light up only the inside or outside depending on the cockpit object lighting mode; this matches the behavior of all other plane-maker-attached objects.
  • Default heavy-metal compass backgroudn art realigned.
  • Frigate ILS and VOR are displayed on the local map screen.
  • Autopilot disconnects completely if the airplane has no flight director switch.
  • Knots/mach mode is reset to knots on loading a new airplane - just in case the airplane has no mach/knots switch.
  • MTBF frequency fixed - it was previously misinterpreted to fail at 10x the rate displayed in the UI.
  • Magnetic heading for glide-slope fixed in the navaid editing window.
  • Fuel consumption correctly decreases when flying with an external instructor's station.
  • Fixed wind interpolation from NNE to N to circle through NNW.
  • Changed default number of flight models per frame to 2 to improve aircraft flight dynamics.
  • Improved wording on rendering settings screen.
  • Autogen in rural towns remapped to houses and not warehouses.
  • Fixed error in scenery shift that caused the airplane to move 4 feet and crash when landing at KGDM runway 36.
  • Added aliases to the audio monitor commands - this will allow v9 plugins to continue to control the audio monitoring system.
  • Moved libfreetype for OSX back to 2.2.1 - fixes font spacing on Mac, which was too wide in 10.20.
  • Fixed default gear light instrument to not light up when bus power is off.
  • Fixed AI aircraft to not reset AI planes when a plugin overrides the AI autopilot.
  • DSF allows facades and bezier control handles to hang outside the DSF box a little bit.
  • Fixed memory scribble when apt.dat contains an ICAO code longer than 4 characters.
