A sampling of some of the planes I've collected for X-plane so far. Scenery is a combination of freeware, payware, Stock and some converted scenery from FSX. The planes are all payware and most or from Carenado. The 727 is from "flyJsim". I'm also using Mesh Scenery v2 from "alpilotx" and Skymaxx pro.

Hope you enjoy. Ive been spending a lot of time between this, P3d/FSX, Cliffs of Dover and the BOS beta. Its a great time to be into flight sims! pilot

When I first got into flight sims (1983), state of the art graphics had a line for the horizon, if you were lucky the ground was green, the sky was cyan and the instruments were a pixely mess (but it was amazing at the time). We have come a very long way. Stunning shots as usual Scoobe !!


Who are we? We find that we live on an insignificant planet of a humdrum star lost in a galaxy tucked away in some forgotten corner of a universe in which there are far more galaxies than people.

I also spent a lot of quarters on that game!

I have it working in MAME for my Andriod Phone and play it on the train to work. Great fun!

Saw these over on Avsim and commented there. Really, really great shots, I love them.

I think 2014 is really going to be X-Plane's year.

Beautiful shots. I had the pleasure of flying the Expressway Visual to 31 a couple nights ago - a beautiful approach with such great scenery..

You are showing off the potential of X-Plane!

Having just watched the Disney movie Planes, thought the shot of the crop duster was cool!
