December 9, 20214 yr Taking some screens from a Threshold article Chock 1.1: "The only thing that whines louder than a jet engine is a flight simmer."
December 9, 20214 yr This looks good and can't wait for them to release it. Ryzen 5 1600x - 16GB DDR4 - RTX 3050 8GB - MSI Gaming Plus
December 9, 20214 yr Moderator Looking fantastic. It's come a long way from the days of just a barren wasteland with no buildings
December 9, 20214 yr And before these get over-analyzed: Quote All these screenshots were taken with XP11 global scenery ... the new road networks, terrain mesh and beaches are still not fully done, yet. So don't judge any off-airport stuff visible in those images. Source: https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/forums/topic/257435-xp12-scenery-gateway-airports/&do=findComment&comment=2287133

That will come after every airport in the world being realistic by default or it wouldnt be able to call itself a flight simulator with a straight face. also, aircraft systems are pretty important Edited December 10, 20214 yr by mSparks AutoATC Developer
December 10, 20214 yr Also take these shots with the grain of salt that only airports that have gotten the "XP12 special treatment" are looking like this. This means that someone (in the above cases Laminar team members) have improved the airports with new assets available in XP12. All airports will immediately benefit a lot from new XP12 textures (I know from firsthand experience 😉) - but to get the full benefit of all the new "scenery goodies" like different surface and edge weathering, etc. will take a human Gateway artist to implement.

You can make "If you want that, you gotta do it yourself, wait until someone else finds the (spare) time or open your pocket again" sound like a really good thing when someone has bought a product that is not marketed as incomplete and I think that's awesome. Laminar Research customer -- Asobo/MS customer -- not an X-Aviation customer - or am I? 😉

Makes one wonder why is an airport gateway like in x-plane is one of the most requested features in the other one. Also, to get a gateway airport there is no need to open your pocket. Just wait for the next update/download manually. Edited December 10, 20214 yr by mtaxp

I wonder if the mods will act or not, look carefully where it all starts. And to say what is wrong: 1) No one knows if clouds are on "max", hence, a typical and carefully chosen word for misinformation. 2) This preview and thread is about global airports while there are literal quotes that anything besides that is under heavy WIP.
