The sheer beauty of X-Plane part II


Recommended Posts

I view the lack of AI as a worthwhile sacrifice for the sake of a better overall simulation, I just use Overlay Editor to park statics at the fields I fly to/from. I always found it annoying to have to wait in a line of AI for a runway slot in FSX/P3d but each to their own I suppose. I see the lack of AI as allowing for other more useful effects. As for the other regular complaint from users or those who won't use because of its lack, I just use http://www.liveatc.net/ in the background to provide a real ATC soundtrack to the flight which I find much more convincing than any of the ATC products I've ever had the misfortune to purchase. There's nothing like listening to real pilots communicate with real controllers around the fields used in your flight, very convincing. When looked at form a wider perspective I think that overall, XP just has more to offer the simmer who goes further than just downloading the demo which, let's face it, doesn't show how well XP can look and perform with a few simple, cheap or free addons tacked on to it. It certainly applies though that you need to purchase good addon aircraft to get the proper effect in all its glory but that applies to all flight sims.

Well said!

I would switch off AI but X plane is anyway barren hence I tend to use it , LOL imagine a helicopter is holding short of a runway.
