September 18, 20214 yr Ground textures can be replaced with ortho, but the crappy XP11 clouds were always a deal-breaker for me when considering coming back to the platform. This new Enhanced Skyscapes plugin is just excellent and have made me enjoy flying in XP11 again... Highly recommended, especially for the low price!

September 18, 20214 yr Willkommen zurück! And if you like clouds...I think you will like what the future holds for X-Plane 😉
September 18, 20214 yr The cloud don't look as good as MSFS but they enhanced XP11 greatly. Great addons so far. I like it. Finally a plugin that is using my extra GPU power. https://fsprocedures.com Your home for all flight simulator related checklist.
September 18, 20214 yr Shell out fifteen more bucks to make XP look more contemporary, but not as good as the competition, in the year 2021? If this would have been free in one of those small updates of last week, I would have checked it out. Pay for that? Thanks, but no thanks. Maybe I'll try the demo just to see one time how one person was able to pull off what was impossible for LR for years...

LOL that's one way of seeing this. Tried the demo, it works well, greatly enhancing one aspect of the sim but I'm hoping XP12 brings much much more to the table. We'll see in a few months or years when it finally releases.
September 18, 20214 yr 15 minutes ago, rka said: You seem to be thinking that makes it any better... Amazing. Amazing is that you think that it is amazing. But it perfectly fits into the picture I have of you after reading many of your posts. Lets work through this together, then 🙂 Look at it this way: Asobo has not been able to include helicopters as default aircraft into MSFS. "Wait a minute", you will say. "They haven´t YET. They are sure to come!". "Oh!" I say. "So it is not that they are too dumb to do it, they just haven´t gotten around to it?". "Yes, that is exactly it!", you answer. "There was just too many other things they had to accomplish, it wasn´t for lack of ability, it was for lack of time and resources". Get it? Didn´t think you would 😉

September 18, 20214 yr And I would have risked that few dollars, especially since I was following the development of the project. But ... there are probably some problems when using VR. And I feel sorry for the xVision I recently bought and which will probably be "biting" with ESC. 😉

And I still dont get why. Im also yet to be convinced XP12 is going to have fundamentally any better than Faruk has achieved. Edited September 18, 20214 yr by mSparks AutoATC Developer

Yet your point is, LR as a company couldn't spare the time and I am somehow unable to understand that? 😄 Laminar Research customer -- Asobo/MS customer -- not an X-Aviation customer - or am I? 😉
September 18, 20214 yr I tried the demo and decided for the time being $15 is well worth it for some pretty nice clouds. I think these clouds are really not that far from MS2020 clouds. And I do fly MSFS, but to be honest, my go to sim is XP.
