It is superbly modelled, it is challenging to fly and it is a lot of fun. Unfortunately not, as the DC-6 is not supported on XP11.

I dont own it but I guess it sends a message about the future of XP and PMDG. I really like X plane and the moment I took off in the demo I was hooked, It kind of feels like your floating and not on rails.. but I was expecting a big difference after come from 32 bit FSx SE after many years . I have quite a few hours in GA and XP feels a bit closer to the real thing but cant comment on P3D, never owned it. ZORAN

I don't fly the Boeing, I'm an Airbus captain, by my friend is on the 777, and was pretty impressed with the feel and detail on the PMDG 777, especially given the price. Just my 2 cents. I'm not saying the flight dynamics of PMDG planes are off, just that the general FSX flight dynamics are not as pleasing as the XP's are to me. John Gaasbeek

She has taught me on the PMDG 737 and tried it herself. Considering that we are sitting on a chair using a CH yoke (I do at least) she was impressed by the flight dynamics which are very close to the real 737. Just a few weeks ago I gave XP another try after its updates and as she was visiting the family for my dad‘s 60th she also tried the zibo 737 on XP. Far from real. Too much strange movement. Also I personally have several hours on a C172 and many many hours on sailplanes. I KNOW how an airplane behaves and feels. Many people here do so. XP is different from stock P3D and it might lead to the assumption for non real world pilots that this was the real deal. But actually it‘s not. There might be the possibility for the developers to create good physical models, but you can achieve much better results when you do what is only possible with P3D: work around its core. Best example: accusim. or the Majestics Q400 according to some yt vids of a Q400 FO. XP is a very nice sim for sure and looks amazing. But I can‘t stand it anymore when people constantly repeat it was more realistic. This is simply not true. I have heard from at least one well known 738 real life Captain on YT that he finds the flight dynamics of the Zibo 738 a lot more realistic than that of the FSX PMDG 738. But it is just an opinion. Don't take it so personally. Edited May 25, 20188 yr by jrgaz John Gaasbeek
