Buy X-Plane now - Get v11?

Question

I am thinking of moving away from FSX to X-Plane 10. I saw a view where loads of new features were being pumped into v10.50? If I bought the latest version now (Off Steam), would I get updates to 10.50 (Which I think is also being spoken about online as v11)?

 

Or should I wait?

Hi Cralis,

Just to clarify: X-Plane 10.50 is NOT 11.

10.50 has lots of new features, but a lot of what we talked about at FlightSimCon is not in 10.50, and will instead come in a future version of X-Plane.

Buying X-Plane 10 gets you everything through 10.99 (if it exists), but not "X-Plane 11" (when it's announced at some point in the future). We do not have a release date for the next major version of X-Plane.

Thanks for that.
Is the an upgrade from major to major usually,  or will we need to buy 11 outright when it's released.

Thanks.

When the next major version is released, it will be a new product and will require a new purchase.
