December 11, 201510 yr Now with 2k texture set! The gain in performance made me want to do a spontaneous twitch stream with this beauty. I hope you don´t mind some impressions of this very nice flight: SMP v3, FS Global Real Weather, tweaked art controls, Aerosoft EDDH & EGCC
December 12, 201510 yr Excellent shots Michael, real terra haze really does look fantastic Thanks a lot! ;-) I don´t use RTH, I always tweak the art controls manually (by using the DataRef Editor).
December 12, 201510 yr Nice shots. Something about X-Plane that gives a truly realistic 'atmospheric' <word of the week on avsim - look. I also find that within REX studio's offerings and FS9. Both XPX and FS9 has the real-world look. Why FSX and P3D went to pastel colored, washed out, non vibrant color pallets has always beat me in understanding. That was the first critique ever with my first using FSX at RTM. If XPX ever got the lovin' such as from ORBX-style, for world graphics...well...I'd be in the poor house, and probably a fresh divorcee...but would STILL run that possible gauntlet.... I can only imagine ORBX'esque REGIONS, for Xplane...and of course...with Xplane's color pallets tweaked by Real Terra Haze...what a combo THAT would become... Hey John V....get your feet wet....try something different...
December 12, 201510 yr Agree 100%. Hence my love for FS9. Still not convinced yet of P3d either. But I'm interested in X-plane. It has much going for it. A few more add-ons and developers would help. I see PMDG might be making the NGX available? Might be a start for more to follow. Jon, the planes are coming, that's for sure. Having a blast learning FMC management for the Rotate MD80. A lot of hobbyists are doing their part for trying to go above and beyond the always 'summer' season of Xplane to date. Having said that though...John V. is a business man, and he will follow the scent of money, if he sees enough 'migration' from Microsoft-based, or a co-existence on a user's hard drive. He'll have his umbrella org start making releases. I do have one suspicion though...and that is, that I believe beyond a doubt, that there are many FSX and P3D 'solely' proclaimed users that have already purchased XPlane...are using it, but for whatever reason(s), don't want to come out of the closet, in that regard. They should, though. John V. monitors AVSIM, whether he admits he does, or not. Doesn't matter...but if he sees an increasing base from those that ONLY had proclaimed usage of both M.S. based products...it would give him the needed impetus to at least consider now releasing regions, global, whatever, for XP. Just my thoughts. We are living in an enlightened age...and it's ok to come out of the closet...... :wink:

I took the plunge and i'm sure I'll be glad I did. I believe someday X plane will have 4 seasons. Great shots Michael!!!! Regards Lamar Wright
December 14, 201510 yr Thanks a lot, guys! Although it has its flaws, the Rotate Sim MD-80 is really a highly enjoyable addon for me!

Great shots Michael!!!! You'll love it! Just took the Rotate MD80 for jaunt out of KFNT....it's expensive...but you might want to pick this up, when you wish. Great immersion, sights, sounds, feel...and especially with X-Camera
