November 30, 201114 yr tonight that I've had in years of simming!!! I am grinning from ear to ear!!Took off from kbi in one of my favorite aircraft's of all time-the Carenado F33. Handling is so real I am shaking my head in amazement!The new autogen and high res textures are beautiful!as are the rivers:and reaction on clouds of real weather downloads which just kept getting worse as I flew-I love the virga ahead!Came back to kbfi to do some formation flying even though the weather was getting worse (you can set the ai traffic to formation fly with you)-just over the tale is one of my guys getting ready to set up with me as I takeoff:Nice shot of the water and car traffic one sees:and just when I was having fun the engine chose to quit-luckily I was over a highway whose one side was not too busy:and managed to squeeze right behind this truck-lucky I wasn't in the other lanes:Seriously this is one of the best simming experiences I've had in years. Can't wait till I get the real thing without the 10 minute time limit! Geofa WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE-the best Flight Sim!
November 30, 201114 yr Brilliant pics and description Geof, I'll link to your post!An easy trick - Last night I flew formation with 3 747s. As you say, formation flying, but if you're lazy like me, go into map view and drag the aircraft to very near your position and make sure their altitude and airspeed are similar - away you go. Might try 5 tonite.. Simmo W, Melbourne, Ozhttp://www.youtube.com/user/id5556

November 30, 201114 yr Somehow the demo performs very badly for me...The graphics are not impressive either. XP9 looks way better to me. I might try to reinstall. :-(
November 30, 201114 yr Author Looking into some of the settings posted in the rendering thread on the xplane forum-it really is all in how you set it up. Good luck! Geofa WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE-the best Flight Sim!

November 30, 201114 yr Geofa posted some great shots. I am amazed by the detail on the highway guardrails. Nice flying! Keith Guillory
December 1, 201114 yr Author Thanks all. During the demo if you get a chance try letting an ai fly your plane-what a riot-doesn't care where it takes off from but actually seems to do a good job even navigating thru mountains (try packwood, wa for instance).

December 1, 201114 yr Nice, tho the only thing that xplane turns off for me are the plasticky looks of the world. Maybe my eyes are just tricking me.Nice capture man!
December 1, 201114 yr I know XPlane is good, but still, after checking 4 different demo versions in the past, I always stuck to MS' FS RoyalSkies.CO.UK Youtube Vidz !My website will be back soon with new paints and videos!

December 1, 201114 yr Author Yeah-me too-until this version... Geofa WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE-the best Flight Sim!
December 1, 201114 yr I know XPlane is good, but still, after checking 4 different demo versions in the past, I always stuck to MS' FSYep have the same feeling,while this one is better the lightning and colors are really weird...Nice shots André
