In my case it tends to be seen as payware because it is actually almost unbelievable that such and addon can exist as freeware!!! Yes! The Zibo 738 is, in the limit, the reason for having xp12 installed 😁👍 As much as I love the Zibo (especially on windy days, unlike today!), my main reason for keeping XP installed has become the TorqueSim CitationJet 😎. It's still "too expensive" IMHO, but for me this is the Goldilocks airplane: just the right combination of higher speeds, smaller runways, very good fidelity, and something that I've only recently begun to really appreciate in sim, is that it's IRL certified for single pilot operation. So it's quick to start up, everything's at hand, and I can spend more time flying without feeling "guilty" for skipping the Cold n Dark on a typical airliner. 😁

But I understood the question related to the looks of the sim only 🙂 Yes, but let's say OP happens to choose the Default 737 to fly around. AFAICT, it hasn't been updated in quite awhile and it's looking quite out of date at this point. Zibo, OTOH, is still looking good (IDK when the last graphics update took place) and it's quite a contrast to the Default. OTOOH, the V12 Defaults are quite nice in the looks dept. So if he chose the A330 or Citation X, Austin's Lancair, or even the F-14, he'd have a much better "looking" experience. 🤙
March 30, 20251 yr If you will run Zibo then these are more or less is essential for maximizing your enjoyment! It allows the Zibo "gauges" to be drawn on a 2nd monitor, tablet, 2nd computer etc. Freeware https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/files/file/53660-zhsi/ Freeware supports Zibo. Don't need to buy the Pro. https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/files/file/43314-webfmc/ Here is my setup with these two.
