Hi there!

And, to make this a complete series, here are a few pics of a short flight over the Swiss Alps around Sion, XP 10.35b5 with OSM Europe, European Library, HD Mesh v2, Treelines and Farms v2, UrbanMAXX 3D, MaxxFX, SkyMAXX Pro v2, tweaked art controls and the Alabeo DA40.

Here are the links to the pics of the same flight in

Nice! I hope Xplane will come with some nice addons in future, it's worth a try.

Great comparison series! X-Plane is way too dark compared to FSX. The beauty of artificial lights at dusk/night is great though!

Thanks guys!

Maybe I'll adjust the gamma setting in XPX to brighten things up a bit.

On the same day and the identical time, XPX draws the sun much closer to the horizon.

Is it just me or do I think the lighting in X Plane is far better than FSX/P3D.

Thanks a lot!

And I think the same, XPX's lighting is capable of doing amazing things!

Excellent shots.  I agree X-Plane lighting is far better than P3D or FSX and if it's to dark all you have to do is just adjust the gamma setting.

Thanks a lot, gamma is already adjusted! ;-)
