Quaxo76 0 Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Hello, I'm considering buying X-Plane 11 (the DVD box). I run Linux. On the box it says that it's PC and MAC only, but in the description it says it's also for Linux. Which one is right? I've seen some posts about this issue, but most were quite old, and not "definitive"... I would hate buying the discs and finding them unusable. Thank you in advance, Cristian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Heinz Flichtbeil 1609 Posted August 4, 2018 Administrator Share Posted August 4, 2018 Hello Christian, MAC OSX is based on Unix (same as Linux, this also is based on Unix). The sim X-Plane 11 is the same (Box or Download) if you have updated it to the latest version after the installing. It will run on Linux too, but the developer Laminar Research can not guarantee for all distributions. https://www.aerosoft.com/en/flight-simulation/simulators/1813/xplane-11 Please see here for more infos from the developers for Linux. https://www.x-plane.com/kb/x-plane-11-system-requirements/ (Supportet Operating Systems). You can try the DEMO version to check if X-Plane 11 will running on your Hardware and Linux OS. https://www.x-plane.com/desktop/try-it/ Greets Heinz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quaxo76 0 Posted August 5, 2018 Author Share Posted August 5, 2018 Hello Heinz, Thank you for your reply. I have already tried the demo, and it works perfectly, so I know XP11 will work on my Linux distribution (I installed the demo alongside with XP10, which also works very well). I was more concerned about the fact that the DVD box explicitly mentions PC and MAC but no Linux, so I wondered if maybe the DVDs themselves might not be compatible (i.e. for a missing Linux installer, or an incompatible file system)... In case the installer is missing, I suppose I can use the one downloadable from Laminar, in the hopes that it recognizes the DVDs. Has any Linux user here actually tried installing on Linux using those discs? My Internet connection really isn't up to the task of downloading dozens of GBs of data...
