Ben mentioned that 3rd party developers already has alphas and recently they published a checklist to test and refinments to the flight model on the x-plane developer blog.

Checklist see here.

I enjoyed seeing the engine fire and other issues.

A paradox I keep seeing. Mention damage, fires and etc. on these forums, and pandemonium usually ensues....

X-plane so far, gets a pass.

The dynamic seems to be that such things are in poor to horrible taste and forbidden, unless they actually come into existence, in which case it becomes a non-issue?

Hmmmmm.....

I have to say it’s looking much less bland and I think the nighttime environment might even surpass the msfs one. 

In my opinion the night environment from XP11 is better than MSFS night environment anyways 

[Greazer 1,320]

Night environment looks ok.  Not sure about cloud environment.  All clouds are hazy.

WoW !

That does look impressive.  Granted these will be cherry-picked so we'll have to see what the final base sim actually looks like.

But the A330 model is fantastic, and the changes to the lighting model, the clouds, the reflections, etc. are certainly far better than XP11.

Yes, like MSFS it looks pretty. Lets see whats inside it.

[Greazer 1,320]

It does kinda prove the last night screenshot was not faked though since this is part of the video.

Looks amazing so far!

After so much time I am rather hoping that everything will be better than MSFS. The joy to me is that the wailing about unnecessary eye candy has finally gone  and that normal mortals will soon have the pleasure of two modern flight simulators to own and enjoy.

It does look nice I must say.

[MSFS Ralf 149]

Looking good. But I doubt that the default A330 will satisfy Toliss customers.

[mjrhealth 820]

Depends, there are some here who would find something wrong even if you sat them in a real airbus, teh colors wrong, wheres teh finger prints, its not 3d. It will satisfy most.

I'm so so so happy !  I now have two new Golden Items to uninstall !!! That CL 650 and XP12 !!!

Regarding weather details ... Well !!! I can't tell ya because it's classified, but it appears we will finally get, among other stuff, a pretty decent geopotential height model !!! LR Does It !!! What else ?
