November 27, 20232 yr It's actually one of the first times I see XP12 with something that I could call 'realistic colors'. I know the consensus here is to often say that XP12 lighting is the most realistic, that anything colorful is cartoonish etc..., but most of the XP12 screenshot I had seen until the ones here above just seemed bland to me. Sure, it sometimes matches what I can see in some situations in real life, but only like when weather in bad, in winter or something (keeping in mind that a sunny day in winter is where we often get the most colorful world here, due to the dryer air). VisualXP is a payware addon that alters the shaders, right ? Edited November 27, 20232 yr by Daube
November 27, 20232 yr I have to recognize that one of the aspects where XP12 has improved over previous versions is colour and lighting, atmospherics rendering and even the level of detail of the default airports, so good that even ASOBO / MS has adopted the idea of a scenery gateway... At times it feels terribly realistic, I'd say, true to real.

I bought the Basic version, as I don't believe personally in better weather engines atm. ASXP suffers from twitchy wind direction change, reminds me of MSFS.

November 28, 20232 yr Commercial Member Another example of what X-Plane is capable of. One of the few images I had to do a double take on. To clarify, Visual XP is being used. Edited November 28, 20232 yr by GoranM

To clarify, Visual XP is being used. It's a great image, but I see stuff that immediately gives this shot away. Firstly, why so many people think that sky could be so dark on the surface? It can be this dark at 20000ft or so, but it's still a slightly wrong tint (this one from VisualXP have more magenta). And the diffuse reflections on the 787 looks more like plastic then metal. Look at the nose and front of the engines, really plasticky. But the lighting itself and the runway looks great indeed.

November 28, 20232 yr Im waiting for the day, that people start complaining that the real world doesn't look right, clouds wrong shape, rain shouldn't be falling ,sky to dark. But we like to prove how clever we are. I looked and thought that shot dont look bad, had no interest in trying to pick it apart. But people will because they need to.

If the shot is posted, then it calls for pickiness. But when I fly, I don't care about visuals in that kind of detail. I still fly in XP11, and that tells much.

To be honest, I feel like this isn't a great sell. It looks completely off, that sky looks peculiar. X-Plane 12 out of the box looks much better.

X-Plane 12 out of the box looks much better. Many a time, I have seen a sky, and lighting, exactly like that, shortly after a storm, in the city where I live. The purple/orange on the horizon is very similar to the pollution haze I am very familiar with, as the airport is very close to the city. Obviously, images like this are very subjective, but I still think it captures many environmental elements, extremely accurately. Edited November 28, 20232 yr by GoranM
November 28, 20232 yr When you fly south from yssy sydney to launceston tasmania, you can see the sky change color, lighting down there is different, getting close to south pole.
