    "quatre-vingt-dix-sept" (=4x20+10+7). She thought about it and said: "Actually ... you are right. I have never seen it this way", as she was so used to it, without having to think about it.

     

    In french you can also say nonante-sept (=90+7). But this is more used in Belgium than in France. :wink:

     

    Fact is, with every simulator you'll have something to learn first. But this should be part of the fun, and as a virtual pilot, knowing your software is very important to enjoy your flight.

    Digital Rights Management.

     

    In layman's terms: Futile attempt at protecting digital products from piracy and a major annoyance for all paying customers.

     

    That why it should be called Digital Restrictions Management. :wink:

     

    You will be fine until you want a new PC, then you will have to use Windows 10

     

    You can buy a PC without any OS. I stopped using Windows long time ago.

    Thank you all for the comments ! :smile:

     

     

    I think my point is, it seems the impression is you need a ton of addons and tweaking to get this sim to look great and this really isn't the case at all.

    You're right. With the default scenery in X-Plane 10, I could already recognize my small village in France, with all the streets, railways, forests, rivers, lakes, and power lines. I never had this quality by default in other flight simulators except in newer versions of FlightGear.

     

    With the HD mesh by AlpilotX it became even better with more details and newer data from OpenStreetMap. It's donation-ware, but you can also download the files for free. Since X-Plane 9, I already had very good add-on sceneries thanks to great free tools like XPOSM and OSM2XP bringing you the roads and buildings at their real places. Since last year with World2XPlane it's even more than awesome. I'm now always using photo sceneries + World2XPlane files for all the places I know, and where I expect very realistic sceneries. For the rest of the world where I don't care about the precise position of every single house, for basic VFR or IFR, the default "plausible" scenery is very good.

     

    Back to the topic... :dance: I hope the certification of the Epic E1000 will be a success:

    I believe Austin owns one of these IRL, right ?

     

    I thought Austin had first a Cirrus SR-22, now he owns a Columbia 400. He's also building a Lancair Evolution.
