October 31, 20214 yr Lot's of good reasons to wait for it, and keep investing in add-ons just released for XP11 that the authors will port to XP12. I'm all for it. Meanwhile enjoing the Enhanced Skyscapes, and looking fwd for even better cloud rendering native with XP12.

November 1, 20214 yr Alright alright....it's definitely piqued my interest again. Their first preview left me feeling a bit "meh" but subsequent tidbits seem quite enticing. I remember having to broom off frost before an early morning flight in North Dakota. Just that screenshot alone looks really nice. | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |

November 3, 20214 yr Great Visuals ! Wow ! Flying gliders since 1980 Flightsimming since 1992 AMD Ryzen 5600x, 32GB RAM, GPU Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti 8 GB, 1 TB and 500 GB nvme2 SSD drives, HP 27" 60Hz LED monitor @ 1920x1080, T16000, Hotas from old X52 Pro, Saitek Combat Rudder Pro (2010 model)
November 3, 20214 yr Interesting post, it confirms most of what many of us were hoping for. The preview pics get better and better. The one in the Lancair is not far from a real photo, in realism: "Society has become so fake that the truth actually bothers people".

November 4, 20214 yr From the same photostream... Nobody said though, that these would not be real....
November 4, 20214 yr The water effects on the ground and windscreen are the best I've ever seen....and I use the "other" sim right now. Looks very promising. Edited November 4, 20214 yr by sanh

The one in the Lancair is not far from a real photo, in realism: Those preview are great, showing everything coming together. Now we are seeing more of what X Plane 12 would really look like. Very convincing indeed. Edited November 4, 20214 yr by BobFS88
November 4, 20214 yr I was comparing real vs XP12 almost real! I thought it was self-explanatory 😉 Edited November 4, 20214 yr by strider1 AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D, RTX 4080S, Ram - 32GB, 32" 4K Monitor, WIN 11. Eric Escobar

I thought it was self-explanatory 😉 The lighting in your photos seems significantly different than the one in the XP shots. If we take a photo with a similar lighting, I think the XP pic is not far from a real one. Also, the pattern of rain streaks is uncanny similar between your RL second photo and the XP one. Self-explanatory indeed! "Society has become so fake that the truth actually bothers people".
