February 18, 201511 yr Impressive ! But I'm out of XP10 until I have proper daylight according to place and date / time of day, and proper Moon phases... and proper visibility ( without blur )... moon phases have been fixed
February 18, 201511 yr Author Curious! :-) Why not FSX ( and yes,wrong forum for asking :-/ ) Strengths of performance, seen with FS9, as well as no chance ever of a moderate to long-distance flight OOM'ing. Just took a trip from KSAN, to KSFO, between Mr X6's beauties... Two words...wow, and oh wow :smile:, night to dawn, to day transition. Nothing compares, with XPX.
February 18, 201511 yr moon phases have been fixed I thought that too, some months ago, and even thought that the correct succession of days and nights along the year had been fixed, but after a few more tests I found I was wrong... Also, Austin himself told me nothing had been changed in that department when I last exchanged PMs with him... Probably my promising tests were run at a phase of the calendar where it happened to be more or less in sync with the sim :-/ Strengths of performance, seen with FS9, as well as no chance ever of a moderate to long-distance flight OOM'ing. Just took a trip from KSAN, to KSFO, between Mr X6's beauties... Two words...wow, and oh wow :smile:, night to dawn, to day transition. Nothing compares, with XPX. That is indeed the case Sesquashtoo ;-) Nights, dusks and dawns, if we forget abount being out of sync with real world sometimes, are a strong part of X-Plane 10... I'd call it the night flying GA si, just for that and some of the very nice GA add-ons available for it :-) 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)

And day flying GA, just try flying GA at a UHD mesh region... even HDv3 does the job! Oh, come on, are moon phases so important? I have studied astronomy and have a 8" robotic reflector telescope in my backyard, but in a flight sim? I do not care if the moon is full or half or made of cheese in a flight simulator..

Hmmm, I was an amateur astronomer too, in the early 80s - bought a Criterium 8000 SCT with my first salary as a programming analyst, and Oracle SGBD v2 programmer in Motorola Unix systems :-), and sold it in the mid nineties to buy my first sim PC :-/ Well, Moon can be important IRL for night VFR - ELITE, the IFR / VFR GA sim, has a very close to real representation of Moon, with it's precise ephemeris and phases ;-) 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)
February 18, 201511 yr I just push those K & L keys so much while flying X-Plane for sunrises to sunsets...........that I don't know what time of day it is, anyway. I'm just going for those photo-realistic views.
February 18, 201511 yr and ASN weather. Hopefully XP11 fixes the weather issues (we need more layers so 3rd party's can really simulate it well)
February 18, 201511 yr Hi, I downloaded the KSFO Airport only package but confused on the install. The text file states to copy all 3 folders to the x-plane10/custom scenery folder, but there are 8 folders whithin the main folder. There is one Folder named "KSFO" but even within that are 8-10 folders. Can someone explain? Bob Officially retired
February 18, 201511 yr Wow, I installed PAJN, what a beautiful job. Very well done indeed! I love the approach to 08. It is getting better and better. My hat is off to MisterX. This is payware quality for sure. Bob Officially retired
February 18, 201511 yr I would have to agree that for airliners, x-plane is lacking some key requirements. Fortunately for me, I find airliners very boring and only fly GA stuff. For that, X-Plane is the best in my opinion. Rob
February 18, 201511 yr I just deleted my payware ksfo to add the freeware, incredible stuff...bravo Mr. X ksan is also jaw dropping.
February 18, 201511 yr Author I just deleted my payware ksfo to add the freeware, incredible stuff...bravo Mr. X ksan is also jaw dropping. Isn't it though?!?!? I fired up Mr X6's KSAN for the first time, as that was my first of the trio installs. I then just used the 'place me at the airport button'. After that...and with a 360 look around, I knew that I was in for something special! I then started the 377, and made taxi around the airport. I didn't even get off the ground for at least 15 minutes. I finally pulled my behind out of the airport property...and that is truly when my jaw dropped hard to the top of the computer desk. OMG! Not just the airport, but MILES...square miles of so highly detail photo and hard object scenery, covering most also of the other airports, the naval base, on...and on. There was a section of freeway heading towards Los Angeles...that had the proper three tier concrete bridges...and OMG...it was there...and I had to pause the flight and just stare down at the magnificent way that XPX handles roadway and infrastructure. This was absolutely fabulous to fly over....let alone with the New York setting for traffic I had going on....I was stunned to see how, for the first time in any sceney package...on any platform...it was dead-on REAL! On and on...I flew over the square miles....and then MAGIC happened.....day settled to dusk...and another OMG moment came upon me......folks...there is NO OTHER simulator out there.....that can bring you dusk, night, dawn, flight operations, as the Xplane franchise can...in HDR mode. There IS no arguing this....not FSX, not P3D, NOTHING...... I then wham-bammed myself out of the air, into PAJN...and was stunned yet again with the beauty of the property, the detail..and upon taking off...the square miles around. YOU must (yes...I'm shouting, lol) You MUST have Mr. Fabian's fantastic HD Mesh 3 and UHD, installed alongside this amazing free-ware scenery. Ok...shouting mode is off..... To take off from any of Mr X6's properties...and come into view of Mr. Fabian's equally incredible, dedicated HD and UHD mesh slams this package home to a GRAND SLAM homer! Oh...San Francisco?!?!?? Don't even have time to add accolades for THAT area....you just have to install it...or start by finally buying a copy of XPX...and THEN...start the journey. Your first day to dusk, to night, to dawn flight over any of these three airports and adjacent square-mile offerings....will firmly cement you into the Xplane culture. If not...then you are in a coma....and there is no help to be offered Ses Wow, I installed PAJN, what a beautiful job. Very well done indeed! I love the approach to 08. It is getting better and better. My hat is off to MisterX. This is payware quality for sure. Bob And there are two more 'league hitters' coming, Bob....Phoenix Sky Harbor...and Los Angeles! Yeeeeeeeeeeehawwwwwwwwwwwwwww........

February 18, 201511 yr Author Having fun heading out over the Golden Gate..and down the coast to San Diego...well..eventually... http://fsfiles.org/flightsimshotsv2/image/W0G http://fsfiles.org/flightsimshotsv2/image/W0N
February 19, 201511 yr Moderator Guys, you should be posting these shots in the screenshots forum as well. We all know how good X-Plane is here with just freeware :smile:, so get posting in the screenshots forum and get some more P3D/FSX users interested
