Xtreme Prototypes X-15 gets VC

by mark.avey on April 18, 2008

Xtreme Prototypes have announced an update to their X-15 which adds a Virtual Cockpit and other enhancements.

Xtreme Prototypes is proud to announce the future release of version 1.1 of its X-15 for Flight Simulator Series featuring fully functional 3D virtual cockpits. The upgrade will be available online at no additional cost for registered users of version 1.0.

Version 1.1 is a major revision of version 1.0 and contains many new features in addition to those found in the original packages, including several virtual cockpits. Each VC contains over 900 parts and nearly 200 animated gauges, switches, levers, light indicators and flight instruments. Like in the advanced 2D instrument panels of the previous version, the virtual cockpits have been meticulously created to conform as closely as possible to the cabin of the real X-15 rocket aircraft.

The VCs allow a total 3D immersion into the X-15 flying environment and come with new internal spotlights, switches, control sticks, handles and levers with tooltips. Virtually all switches in the VCs and 2D panels are clickable and can be used to simulate nearly every step and procedure required in a typical X-15 mission.

The addon is compatible with both FSX (SP2 recommended) and FS2004.
