July 27, 201213 yr I'm tired, highly disappointed, but that's certainly not the only reason I finally made my mind and decided to go Xplane10. It would be a long story, so, I'll make it short - I think for now Xplane10 is the only investment really worth the while. Just got mine :-) and plan to install it during the weekend... I've been an observer, a critic, bought v8 long ago, had some hard discussions with Austin in the past, I know Xplane10 is still in beta, but the truth is, there is a dedicated team behind it... I made my bet! Hope it is for good.... Surely it'll be :-) Flying gliders since 1980 Flightsimming since 1992 AMD Ryzen 5600x, 32GB RAM, GPU Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti 8 GB, 1 TB and 500 GB nvme2 SSD drives, HP 27" 60Hz LED monitor @ 1920x1080, T16000, Hotas from old X52 Pro, Saitek Combat Rudder Pro (2010 model)
July 27, 201213 yr Author Thx Rob! My dual layer dvds, on a metal box (Whow!) are on it's way... Meanwhile, should i install and then get the latest stable version from xplane.com and install over it? I'll do my best to enjoy the certainly many good aspects of Xplane10. I'll do my best to contribute to it's future - looked to me like the most promising platform... I will restrict my add-ons to just a few, a couple maybe, to save $$$ - Xplane was expensive!!! I'll try to pick the best :-) Flying gliders since 1980 Flightsimming since 1992 AMD Ryzen 5600x, 32GB RAM, GPU Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti 8 GB, 1 TB and 500 GB nvme2 SSD drives, HP 27" 60Hz LED monitor @ 1920x1080, T16000, Hotas from old X52 Pro, Saitek Combat Rudder Pro (2010 model)
July 27, 201213 yr Hello and welcome ! My dual layer dvds, on a metal box (Whow!) are on it's way... Meanwhile, should i install and then get the latest stable version from xplane.com and install over it? I would use the latest DVD installer from here: http://www.x-plane.c...taller-updater/ Then, use the same installer again each time you want to update. You'll have the choice to install only stable versions or also betas. For the news about new releases, you can visit this page: http://wiki.x-plane.com/Beta If you want to test a new beta or new version, always use a demo or a copy of your X-Plane folder. For the news about future versions or very good tips, visit this page: http://developer.x-plane.com/ And here's my favorite website for news and add-on reviews: http://xsimreviews.com/ Happy flying !

July 27, 201213 yr Author MdMax, thx! Great links. Xplane10 Blog I know very well - poll it several times a day :-), and chat with Simon too :-) Welcome Jcomm. Thx Mike!

July 27, 201213 yr Let us know what you find about X-Plane Flight Model, since I know you're always trying to find the best sim in this category. I recommend you using http://osm2xp.com/ to get the most up to date data from the OSM maps to X-Plane, made a huge difference here for me, and it's so easy. Alexis Mefano

July 27, 201213 yr Author Let us know what you find about X-Plane Flight Model, since I know you're always trying to find the best sim in this category I'll try hard to adapt to those problems I have long struggled against, here and at the xplane.org forums, during many years and xplane versions. The truth is we do have a team, an active and talented team behind the scene, and we can actually talk to them.... This means FUTURE for me :-) Flying gliders since 1980 Flightsimming since 1992 AMD Ryzen 5600x, 32GB RAM, GPU Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti 8 GB, 1 TB and 500 GB nvme2 SSD drives, HP 27" 60Hz LED monitor @ 1920x1080, T16000, Hotas from old X52 Pro, Saitek Combat Rudder Pro (2010 model)

The truth is we do have a team, an active and talented team behind the scene, and we can actually talk to them.... This means FUTURE for me :-) Every flight simulator has its own issues... Elite flight model has good fidelity in terms of climb/cruise/descent performance, but last time I tried it, the feeling of the flight model was much less than every other flight simulator I tried (much, much more on rails than FS2004... For example, short mode period was non existent, IIRC), not to talk the fact that basically there is no flight model outside the normal flight envelope, and an extremely simplified ground model. Both FSX and X-Plane have their own set of issues with flight and ground models. At least Austin said X-Plane flight model will continue to be improved even during the v10 run. Inertial coupling was finally addressed in v10, now in theory X-Plane is capable of modeling realistic spins. Even too much, since we went from a situation in which spins were not possible (before v10), to one in which flat spins are too easy to achieve (I think you can flat spin the C172 in v10).
