It's out?


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.

Been thinking very seriously about getting X-Plane lately.

I do have quite a bit invested in FSX though.

I'm pretty sure I am going to take the plunge. I preferred the feel of X-Plane but found the whole interface kind of clunky. That issue is fixed with XP 11 and now we also have VR support with the help of FlyInside..

Got my digital download key and downloading now. Tried the demo first. Going to take 68gb
for the entire earth scenery. Just going for North and South America for now. Will install
the rest later.

It's very shiny. JR CRJ seems to work so far.

The atmospherics and lighting look much improved.

But I do not understand why they didn't overhaul the cloud/weather system. It still looks like crap.

It takes years of updates to refine every X-Plane update. 10x was no different, this is just an early Beta 1
release. Having been a part of the X-Plane movement since 1999 and version 5.2. Patience is all that is needed.

And always keep your installer updating to fix the issues as they are corrected.

Is the full game out? Or just the demo? I'm confused.

Full flight sim is released in Beta 1. If you pre-bought digital Download.

Or you can try out the demo.

So far I like what I have tried out. The entire planet is huge place to explore.
Testing old sceneries and planes. Couple of shots from my morning tests.


Taking off from Jackson Hole heading for Cody Wyoming.




MD-80 taking off from JKF. New York city scenery works great.

I've tried the Beta and so far impressed! I have three screens for display and it was a pain to set up for FSX to the point that I just played single-screen and just used the other screens to chat with other pilots and surf the web.... while flying.

TM WH and Saitek pedals got recognized straight away, although the "defaults" were wrong. Also the obligatory "dance" of setting the toe brakes...

So what's the difference between the demo-demo and the full-package-demo? Just the a few airports vs. the entire world? AFAIK, the aircraft are the same.

Demo only includes a couple exclusive airport scenery areas, where is the full version
you get it all. I downloaded the entire planet scenery 68gb. Then you can add on your
own photo sceneries.

Can someone show me in Xplane11 CYQB please?

Maybe one close top down view and one on the threshold of the 24 looking at the terminal?

Would be appreciated
thx

seems that in Flight sims, In Canada, if you're not Toronto nor Vancouver, you're not worth time to be well made....

I use XP10 so I'm aware of how it works.

But there's basically zero chance they are going to change the fundamentals of the clouds/weather dramatically now because it would require a major rewriting of the system (by their own admission). If that didn't happen before this first beta release, it's not going to happen in XP11's lifecycle.

Regardless, they'll be addons and the new lighting and how it deals with vis/horizons is worth the price of admission alone.
