September 20, 201510 yr Commercial Member Nice shots; Aerobask's Epic is one my favorites in XP! Nice scenery too.... Jim Stewart Milviz Person.
September 20, 201510 yr great shots!!!! 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)
September 21, 201510 yr I believe Austin owns one of these IRL, right ?

September 21, 201510 yr Ok, I have to try X-Plane again, even though it will take me months of tweaking to achieve a sim like this. Brynjar Mauseth
September 21, 201510 yr Why months? Most of what you see here can be achieved inside of an hour. Well I guess it takes several hours to download all the "top 10 best freeware add ons" for once. And I remember spending several hours on making TrackIR work OK. Months was of course an exaggeration but it is what I feel I have to go through :wink: Brynjar Mauseth
September 21, 201510 yr Well, if you feel you need all of the top ten add-ons to make the sim work for you, then who am I to argue. However, The results you see above look to include photo scenery and World2XP. That's it. This is freeware airport scenery from the .Org and UHD mesh This is just UHD mesh and nothing else. I think my point is, it seems the impression is you need a ton of addons and tweaking to get this sim to look great and this really isn't the case at all. Yes this sim can look truly ghastly in some areas but then so do the other offerings without 3PD addons
September 25, 201510 yr Author Thank you all for the comments ! :smile: I think my point is, it seems the impression is you need a ton of addons and tweaking to get this sim to look great and this really isn't the case at all. +1000 You're right. With the default scenery in X-Plane 10, I could already recognize my small village in France, with all the streets, railways, forests, rivers, lakes, and power lines. I never had this quality by default in other flight simulators except in newer versions of FlightGear. With the HD mesh by AlpilotX it became even better with more details and newer data from OpenStreetMap. It's donation-ware, but you can also download the files for free. Since X-Plane 9, I already had very good add-on sceneries thanks to great free tools like XPOSM and OSM2XP bringing you the roads and buildings at their real places. Since last year with World2XPlane it's even more than awesome. I'm now always using photo sceneries + World2XPlane files for all the places I know, and where I expect very realistic sceneries. For the rest of the world where I don't care about the precise position of every single house, for basic VFR or IFR, the default "plausible" scenery is very good. Back to the topic... I hope the certification of the Epic E1000 will be a success: http://aviationweek.com/oshkosh-2015/epic-aircraft-s-e1000-prepares-certification http://www.flyingmag.com/aircraft/turboprops/epic-e1000-certification-expected-next-year I believe Austin owns one of these IRL, right ? I thought Austin had first a Cirrus SR-22, now he owns a Columbia 400. He's also building a Lancair Evolution. http://www.x-plane.com/hardware/evo/evo.html Georges - OpenStreetMap - Ubuntu GNU/Linux -
