August 9, 20178 yr Glad you've discovered how nice FSW is. As I said when they stuck trueSkies in there last week, the clouds in FSW are really amazing and set it apart from other sims even in their early state. For anyone who's not checked them out, here's a quick vid I made of how good they can look... Alan Bradbury Check out my youtube flight sim videos: Here

Yes they look great if you are at the right angle such as in the video or the ones I have made. Mind blowing in fact compared to what we are used to. However, much work is needed to perfect how they interact with the scenery, lighting, level of pixelation and their funky dynamic movement up close. For what you pay, it is a worthwhile investment to see what is possible and also to see it evolve as well support it's continuing development. A game-changing start though if we keep in mind this is early access. If you are on the fence, just buy it! I for one am happy to use this together with X-Plane 11 especially if I want to fly GA in winter or to see the cool weather effects. Or simply just to be part of this new exciting development. For the low early access price, you cannot really go wrong.

The best I have seen from any sim. Alone, these two flight scenarios, is worth the total asking price of the sim. In other words, this sim will add two real-life virtual experiences that you will NOT find in FSX and FSX-SE, P3D(x), XP(x)... This flight experience is unique to FSW. I am so glad that I decided to dip my toes...

So I was flying blind using the GPS to guide me This was fixed in Update 9.

My old PC is 32-bit XP with a DX-10 video card. I'm still watching the development of FSX and P3Dv4 as my next PC will certainly be capable of running either sim.
