X-Plane 12 Public Beta Updated Introducing the Airbus MCDU

A new public beta update for X-Plane 12 has been released that includes the Airbus MCDU for the included Airbus A330.

The MCDU has been a long-awaited feature for simmers since the A330 was first announced to be a part of the default aircraft in X-Plane 12. It’s an area that Laminar Research has been keen to get right since prior to release, but wanted to make sure that they were able to offer a compelling update before releasing it.

X-Plane 12 Public Beta Updated Introducing the Airbus MCDU

There’s been a range of other fixes and improvements with the update as well. There are plenty of stability updates, rendering improvements and also changes to various X-Plane 12 features. This includes the 4D weather system and included aircraft.

Public Beta – 12.05b1 is now available and you can get it. The full list of changes is down below.

Recently, Laminar Research started offering DVD versions of X-Plane 12, which you can order now. Otherwise, if you want the digital version of the simulator, you head over to the X-Plane website where you can purchase it for $59.99/£51.95/€60.35.
