Very relaxing with just the view out the window. Not the usual stupid flyby's and trying to capture every view on every angle in real time like some streamers.
April 19, 20233 yr The all-over aliasing during approach is why I don't use this sim in a nutshell. - Currently giving X-Plane 12.10 a spin on Shadow PC. 10 years with X-Plane now, since 10.20
April 19, 20233 yr A rainy night in Georgia. Sorry! https://www.dropbox.com/s/3unrngypw81gmou/Screenshot 2023-04-19 170634.png?dl=0 .

April 20, 20233 yr What's up with the clouds jumping around and shifting positions so suddenly? Is that just how it is at the moment? Also, the way that fence draws in during the landing is very odd. Just two things I noticed. I still like the new lighting engine.
April 20, 20233 yr Author As others have said, lighting in XP12 is indeed extraordinary. I would compare it only to what I see in DCS World videos although I can't tell from own experience since I don't have it. The same youtube channel has a few other videos of flights with clouds and scenery that really look like the real thing. I am just looking fwd for when night clouds get visible. Night time and clouds don't yet match in XP12 - that's my main complain graphics wise, well, together with some weird cloud formations that apparently can get fixed using XView(?) and ASXP...

April 20, 20233 yr Moderator This looks pretty nice, considering it's just default scenery. The colours seem quite natural and fairly realistic. It does seem to be quite grainy though, as if it has excessive sharpening on it, maybe a filter the author used for the video

Overall, gives me a more realistic feeling than the competition. exactly. and the main reason I come here and to x-plane from time to time. the sunsets (before and after the rise of the black Frankenclouds) are so much more life like. and this is from a "competition" flier. 😀 "Also, the way that fence draws in during the landing is very odd." looks like some sub-optimal LOD implementation. less "realistic feeling than the competition".
