Actually, I really enjoyed the discussion. My very special friend mtaxp just a few days ago attested another commenter here

for saying

Which, well... aged like milk. Hence he has to do some damage control now 😄

So you are trolling mtaxp. At least you are honest

No, pointing out one of the many discrepancies in this rather old discussion here among the few people that still are discussing XP, of which I consider myself one.

Well, good thing we got that one clear once and for all, I'd say!

Indeed, it's great to hear that from Austin! Thank you for pointing that, I'll add further quotes from him to give better context:

Quote

we're working on that internally, we're working to overhaul the scenery files as well to make them better and those just haven't made their appearance into video yet

They're totally aware that the scenery can be improved a lot, and that's their goal for the short/medium/long term. Just what it's needed! 🙂

Also:

Quote

what i want to do with the sim [...] is quickly load, not crash, have a high frame rate and a really accurate flight model because that's the absolute key

Great news as well, those 4 are some crucial features for me (and I'm sure many other XP'ers).

Did you notice in the world video a character in the clouds with big open happy expression at 32:40 and at 33:00 closer view?

Yep !  

Looked a lot like a Mythic Character known in Portugal Sea Discovery History named "Adamastor" 🙂

Wow, you have good 3d pattern recognition / matching 🙂

What have you smoked? 😃 I'll have what you had.

Joke aside: we had that already many weeks ago in the org-forum, when this clip was shown the first time.

And do you know why it is a happy expression? Because X-Plane 12 makes even the clouds happy 😝.

He is doing some bad job I must admit, pointing out my comments and proving me right, could not ask for a better service😂

Not that impressed with the new clouds. They are all fuzzy clouds like an artist paints on canvas. No sign of other types of clouds, such as Cumulus clouds. We gotta have better clouds than this.

Welcome back my dear friend. Where have you been recently? How are you?

I like Greazer's youtubes, mostly done based on XP11, probably going to also be done in XP12.

Here's a good example of someone who uses a flight simulator, apparently even more than the competition, and yet is unbiased enough to have the capacity to criticize what he doesn't like about it.

Welcome back Greazer ! And, I did really enjoy your last video recorded on the LevelUp 737 ( Austrian colours ) !

I am now using the Zibo Mod 737-800, and am looking into that LevelUp NG. Let's hope the Zibo finds it's way into XP12 !

We had this discussion already earlier, whether the Greazer at youtube and the Greazer at avsim are the same person - as on youtube he isn't whining all the time about how bad XP is.

Hmmm, looks a lot like the same Greazer - even the avatar ?

Maybe Greazer himself can confirm, anyway, I do like his videos in youtube.

 

I found the clouds shown in the Ep1 of the Dev Deep Dive to be exactly what I was hoping XP12 would delive. They clearly are able to properly simulate trully vertical build ups, which was my biggest fear. You can find a ton of Addons to have volumetric 3d clouds, but to actually be able to depict a Towering Cumulus, it's not an easy task. XP12 footage shows exactly that, immense walls of clouds, the kind that would make any pilot in the air decide it's better get back to the ground and hang at the local cafeteria instead.

Another area I really like is Laminar didnt allowed themselves to get seduced by the "Post Processing to Eleven" Syndrome that seems to be everywhere. Colors are beautiful, but not overly saturated so much is looks like a Michael Bay Movie. The HDR also looks spot on, bright where it needs to be, without the clarity of a nuclear bomb going off every time you look outside at a sunny day.

Now, really  looking forward to them showing Scenery with new Assets and techniques generated for XP12.
