Very nice go along for the ride type stream. 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.

The all-over aliasing during approach is why I don't use this sim in a nutshell.

I'm glad my close vision has deteriorated... Gals look all cute based on the general forms these days 🙂 Sims too ....

I should dust off my modded C90 for a flight.

For me, the incredible lighting more than makes up for it. Overall, gives me a more realistic feeling than the competition.

What does 'Glass half empty mean'?  Easy, look at any Colonel X post.

Yes terrible, just like the clouds.

[The_Flying_Potato 25]

No clouds in Scunthorpe today. It was lovely. Probably got sunburn.

[Gulfstream 416]

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.

[jcomm 5,939]

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...

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

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".
