November 11, 201312 yr I'm, definitely an X-Plane 10 convert :-) How about airport sceneries and AI traffic? I cant find anything of the quality of Uk2000, Aerosoft or Flighbeam. With traffic, no MyTraffic X. Also GSX is missing. There is [XPGS] Ground Services but that does not look as automated as GSX. plus cockpit hardware from the likes of FDS and Open Cockpits doesnt look like they work atm.
November 11, 201312 yr What about FS2Crew? TrackIR and Ezdok? FSUIPC? LINDA?

November 11, 201312 yr What about FS2Crew? TrackIR and Ezdok? FSUIPC? LINDA? true, so many add-ons we take for granted in FSX. I do have to trial of Xplane but absolutely hate not having Ezdok.
November 11, 201312 yr Commercial Member What about FS2Crew? TrackIR and Ezdok? FSUIPC? LINDA? TrackIR works with X Plane 10 I believe. Rest of the stuff can definitely be created. X Plane 10 has just the same potential as FSX, it just needs more third party developers.
November 11, 201312 yr TrackIR works with X Plane 10 I believe. Rest of the stuff can definitely be created. X Plane 10 has just the same potential as FSX, it just needs more third party developers. Thats the issue, it a catch 22 situation. if there are missing add-ons no one will convert to Xplane, and if no-one uses Xplane there will be no incentive to develop add-ons.

True, I think people will really start converting to a new sim only when there's a platform that is overall clearly superior to FSX. Maybe that platform could be the next version of X Plane...
November 11, 201312 yr True, I think people will really start converting to a new sim only when there's a platform that is overall clearly superior to FSX. Maybe that platform could be the next version of X Plane... Yes, I agree, and I strongly believe it'll happen with X-Plane, still during v 10...

November 11, 201312 yr Yes, I agree, and I strongly believe it'll happen with X-Plane, still during v 10... It's becoming hot in there :-) The 2012 AVSIM demographic survey showed 2% usage of X-Plane and the first look at the 2013 one in May wasn't much better, it would be interesting to see what those stats are now, to see if XP10 is picking up FSX converts.

November 11, 201312 yr Let's wait for the next big X-Plane Update, with much better data for the scenery around the world, and other important fixes. I believe X-Plane can grow to the two digit percentage of usage here in Avsim! Alexis Mefano
November 11, 201312 yr From .9% to 1.0%? Just wait for SkyMaxx to come out, and at a later date, IXEG 737. I'm confident these two have the power to make the Sim Market more diversified than the FSX monopoly we have today. Alexis Mefano
November 11, 201312 yr And.... you'll have to get accustomed to use a sim without OOMs... I know that's probably difficult, but we can think about a plugin to generate random OOMs to help with the possible deprivation syndrome... :-) Guys... in 4 months you'll be clearing your disks of FSX, and it's not going to be because of P3D v2.... If I lose, I'll have re-installed FSX by then, and will be having my punishment already :-/ 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)
November 11, 201312 yr Interesting thread. Would like to have a technologically current simulator, but two things are holding me back from X-Plane: - massive invest in FSX addons - A2A planes not available in XPX And when I tried the default C172 in the XPX demo I was very much underwhelmed; floats better than a hovercraft. I know that it's not comparable to a 40€ add-on plane, but still...
