This is a wonderful surprise. Earlier today, Cameron of X-Aviation announced that their own Mitsubishi MU-2 Marquise has been updated to X-Plane 11! See the full announcement:
“This will serve as a formal forum announcement that we have released the version 1.8 update for the Mitsubishi MU-2B-60. All customers who have purchased the Mitsubishi MU-2B-60 up till now have been sent an e-mail by X-Aviation with complete installation instructions on how to update your product. We have made this a very simple process! For those that purchase the Mitsubishi MU-2B-60 from today forward, your purchased download will already be updated to version 1.8 for you.
What if I didn’t get the update e-mail?
If you did not receive your update e-mail don’t fret! X-Aviation has updated our system to allow all customers to update with ease, regardless of whether you received an e-mail for the update! Simply login to your account and re-download your original order.
