You don't like anything thats not PMDG or MSFS2020. Tunnel vision! MSFS2024= Greatness. XP12= Greatness. Its not difficult to run XP12 and the scenery look spectacular. It also has some very good addons. Pete Richards I've owned every version of flight simulator since Flight Simulator 3.0 in 1988.

I have the add-on scenery packs for X-Plane 12 and to me the graphics quality looks similar to Flight Simulator X. What scenery packs are you using?

May 11, 20251 yr I am happy that x-plane continues to develop, but I cannot fathom spending a day and downloading 100 GB or more to try to get x-plane to look something like MSFS2024. MSFS 2024.

May 11, 20251 yr Lets keep XP related stuff off the MSFS forum if people are interested in XP there is a proper forum for it.

When they do become available, will you be switching to 2024 to gain the upgraded features? wont be long before the rest of the planes you are after are ported over to msfs2024 I7-8700k,Corsair h1101 cooler ,Asus Strix Gaming Intel Z370 S11 motherboard, Corsair 32gb ramDD4,, gtx 1080ti Card, RM850 power supply Peter kelberg

It's basically MSFS' secret sauce.
