January 15, 201214 yr Oh jeese, where's that dead horse icon again?I think we've moved on to beating the spot where the dead horse used to lay. :(
January 16, 201214 yr Here's an honest opinion from a real world pilot: X-plane's UI is horrid. That's as far as I got!Seriously. Let this poor horsey rest. ___________________________________________________________________________________ Zachary Waddell -- Caravan Driver -- Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/zwaddell Avsim ToS Avsim Screenshot Rules

January 17, 201214 yr Hi,My guess is................Wait for it............................You want soup ..............All kidding aside, the two main reasons I do not like XPlane10 is the Plausible World aspect as well as the lack of third party support from some of the major third party addon developers.I think that FSX is spicy Thai prawn soup with croutons..

January 17, 201214 yr I tried the XPX demo with an open mind. I found I actually get far better performance in FSX loaded up with add ons than I do in the XPX demo. That alone was enough reason for me to stop trying it. I didn't like the scenery either, it feels a bit like flying over a creation in SimCity. The shadows are nice, as well as the built in HDR effects, but at too much cost to performance. Plus they still haven't done away with the confusing and messy UI from XP9. I'm sure it will get better, as they're pushing new builds of it continuously, but right now i'm happy where I am!

The FPS issue may be due to XPlane using OpenGL instead of DirectX as used by FSX. Not all video cards do well with OpenGL. regards, Dick near Pittsburgh, USA
January 18, 201214 yr Bought XP9 a while back. Loved the mesh accuracy - much better than FSX. Night lighting also appeared more realistic. Tried XPX - awful framerates and poor scenery.Flight Dynamics? Nothing like the real thing despite their claims. FSX owns in that respect. We're continuing to use FSX for new PPL students.RegardsAdam
