I'll keep my finger on the Risk of Closure button ...  :wink:

 

P3D is my main "go to" simulator as it just has everything.  However I keep XP10 updated and running (even bought the Steam Version of XP10 just because I didn't want to have to mess with my old XP10 DVDs).  Some great new aircraft and products have come along for XP10  (Skymaxx, Aerosoft, Carenado, and many others).  The night/dusk/dawn road lighting and road traffic is just fantastic ... and boy can that police car really move, think I clocked it at 130-140 GS.  My TrackIR worked out of the box with XP10 ... no need for simConnect just check the settings box for TrackIR and bingo, good to go.

 

XP10 still has some basic render engine issues (terrain shadow maps, airport lights that float in the sky, strange reflections on water surfaces) and performance issues (have to dial back a lot of detail to get a solid 30 fps out of it in 4K on my Titan X).  There is still a lot missing from XP10 but it has improved and keeps improving.

 

If you haven't already, you should also give DCS a try.

 

I'm also waiting to see what this "new" flight sim product is about from Dovetail.

 

It is nice to have so many good quality options for flight sim enthusiasts.  Obviously it's difficult for many to maintain multiple simulators (financially and time commitments) but if you do have spare time and cash, it's good to taste the simulator world outside of one's primary simulator.  Good developers doing good work all around us.

 

Speaking of videos, I can't for the life of me get ShadowPlay to work in full screen mode in XP10 (it does work in Window mode) ... tried starting in Window mode then expanding to full screen, but still no go.  Were you using ShadowPlay for recording your video?

 

Cheers, Rob.

 

Thats a great response Rob. I'm still pretty much FSX based too. I don't have Xplane installed but I'm eager to try Dovetails offerings. I did watch a video on London VFR flight in Xplane from Squirrel which highlights some of the best dawn / dusk / night lighting I've seen especially around London where I live and for me this aspect of Xplane has no equal at the moment.

Loved the sensation of speed in the Bell.  However, there were instances where it should have CRASHED, and didn't.  Pretty close to some of those highway signs.
