I don't do much simming in X-Plane, and my flying is usually limited to testing in clear skies at SCIP. However, when I came across these recent developments, I was truly "mind blown."

It's incredible to think that this impressive work is the result of collaboration between one main programmer and two talented individuals who contributed significantly with their art direction. Each person's input played a crucial role in bringing this project to life.

Kudos to the entire team for their hard work and creativity!

X-Plane 12.2.1

Amazing shots!

Xp12 looks like the real World !

Learning to fly gliders since 1980

Stopped using flightsims for good since early August 2026, after 34 yrs using some really great specimens... If I'm asked to name the preferred one, after all these years, MSFS 2024 is my answer without hesitation.

(No desktop :-// after the last one crashed for good, so no simming, but I keep polling AVSIM - my main ludic activities spot since around 2006...)

Those shots look really good!

Cheers, Bert

Nice, I haven’t updated to 12.2.1 yet … but getting motivated now.

I was reluctant until a few days ago. Definitely glad I didn't wait any longer.  Highly recommend updating.
