I switched out of XP to make way for MSFS but am considering giving it another look.

Lot of excellent freeware there.

I recall when I initially set it up that there was an issue with a faint brown tin to sceneries, & I think one of the payware? add ons had a tick box to remove that tint.

Has the tint issue been resolved & if not can anyone recall the product that allowed it to be removed? I think it was possibly a shaders or environment appearance product.

There's some newer stuff to.

I'm a new X-Plane user. I was exclusively FS2004 for years. I was fortunate to get a new beast of a PC before Christmas, mainly to use MSFS. But, I picked up X-Plane and am enjoying the heck out of it. As much as I enjoy (love) FS9, X-Plane is such a huge leap, and I cant recommend it enough. I also have FSX but have never really liked the way it runs. My new rig handles it fine, but it only gets used on occasion for certain freeware planes.

I'm currently enjoying X-Plane and FS9 until I feel like people are overall happy with MSFS(if that's possible)before I join the fray over there. I did try it out on my sons PC thru the Xbox game pass thingy, and loved what it brought to the table, but I can wait for it to get a bit more polished.

I had FS 2004 also. i tried X Plane 9 and wasn't too keen at first. Little did i know at the time it would advance.I skipped X Plane 10 and waited for the 11 version.What a difference.There is rumor about X Plane 12 in the works, so sit back and enjoy the ride. HAPPY FLYING.!!!!!

Every time I read the title of this thread my eyes correct it to:

"Looking into XPlane 12" 👀

I think Laminar may want to test a few things before XP12. And 11 is going to be that test bed, thats why there may well be better things to come.

You're on an X-Plane forum. Really, what do you think the answer is going to be?

Firstly is it worth it?

Yes, if you like good airliner sims, lots of addons, and you don't focus on scenery too much. No, if you need frequent developer updates, bugfixes and performance improvements.

IS it worth it yes, do you need all the scenery stuff no, Just weather. Plenty of really good freeware addons, just take it slow and install bit by bit
