So when will it be acceptable to talk about ground textures, scenery and stuff? 

I mean it's not like people care most about the lancair with regard to XP12, I guess that should be undisputed?!

Practise restraint. Regardless, your criticisms on X-Plane carry as much weight as a politician. So, if you decide to criticise, safe to say you won’t be taken seriously.

AH ! Ok Sparks, I see, and yes I remember having seen it.

That's something tempting indeed, and while I am not a scenery / graphics in 1st place guy, I would like to see that kind of rendering in XP12 !

Thx for reminding me of that video !

because in this build of the alpha it is 100% identical to xp11.

The only snippets of xp12 scenery we (anyone outside of one or two people inside LR) have seen so far is the very early preview we got in the 60 second scenery section of

4 months ago.

 

 

A lot to absorb.

It's good to see Weather & ATC is finally getting the love it deserves.

I'd like to see a sim implement the water droplet VC effects in Flight Unlimited.

I'd also would like to know if AI & airliners will be a feature in XP12. I'm spoiled by JF Traffic.

You seem to be very apprehensive of people who wont be taken seriously. I wonder why.

Can we talk on how the aircraft didn't go into A.THR LK ? He was on the full throttle the whole time.

what has full throttle have to do with THR LK? That is dependent on AoA!

Normally you would put the throttle on CLB detent after takeoff. You can't just stay on manual TOGA the whole time. I was pretty sure the message you get in A.THR LCK but maybe I was wrong. I am not an Airbus expert but I know this doesn't look correct

You can stay in TOGA for 5 minutes regularly, 10 minutes in case of an engine failure. That is just a limitation and the engine will not desintegrate if you go over that time.

Austin can do what Austin wants to do, its his Airbus! 😆

You do have a point.

I mean, I can see the promise of this, and I was a long time XP11 user, but, visually it just doesn’t compete with MSFS 90% of the time. I am aware it’s alpha etc etc, but that just goes to show they have a long way to go. And yes this is my opinion, not a fact. If you disagree with it, so be it:-) 

Nice to hear we are getting an updated carrier. Cant wait for that one.

“Visually” is a very broad term. As far as lighting goes, it’s physics based lighting. So it doesn’t get any more realistic. If you think it’s not realistic, 🤷‍♂️

Why is it no surprise people are picking on an alpha?  Really. It’s no surprise.
