In another thread you claimed to have spent three days putting X-Plane 10 through its paces, and you mean to tell me that in all that time, you couldn't figure out how to do a straight and level take-off? Seriously? My 7-year old son can do a straight and level take-off in XP10 with a little bit of practice, so I can't imagine why you found it so difficult.
Not without completing surgury on the controler set-up, not to mention, that I had also purchased two Carenado aircraft to dampen the effects of the default aircraft, which you would know if you where paying attention to my previous post.

Goes to show why XPX is an arcade game with some very realistic procedures!

Sorry MM, you're not going to sell me on XP's default AC, they are bad. Period. Much worse that MS defaults.

No MM, the fact that Las Vegas, in XPX, is green, and is unrecognisable in the sim to real life is no lie.
I didn't say it was a lie, I said that your exaggerated criticisms border on lies. Look, I'm sorry that your hometown doesn't look good in XP10, but it just so happens that my hometown here in Central Ohio is unrecognizable in FSX but looks great in XP10. You lose some, you win some, eh?
And, YES, the FSX 172 is more flyable the XPX's...
No, it's really not, and there are already several others in this thread (as well as in your companion thread in the AVSIM X-Plane forum) who will back me up on that point. I can take a real-world checklist and do a "by the numbers" flight using XP10's default 172. Granted, I can do the same thing in FSX, but the point is that you can't claim that one is "more flyable" than the other, and it is flat out false to claim that XP10's flight dynamics are "horrific".Frankly, I think much of your vitriol comes from the fact that you spent $80 on a sim that you're not happy with when it was your own dumb fault for not trying the demo first. I'm sorry that you're angry, but spreading ignorant rants about X-Plane isn't going to put that $80 back in your pocket. Just let it go.

Now you'll be a hater!See: dumb, angry, and ignorant!

Really, you think that opening the controller configuration screen and adjusting six, well-labeled sliders -- they even have helpful pop-ups if you hover your mouse over them -- is the equivalent of performing surgery? I think the problem here is that you've encountered an id-10-T problem.

Sure makes you wonder why VegaSS can't figure it out. :(

Wow MM, again, I critisize a sim, and you post blaitant remarks about me? enough said about you. I can't remember once, being so dissrespectful to you. But, oh well, you are who you are.

Because any 7 year old can figure out an arcade game like XPX.
