Because it adds a whole lot of stress which people don't necessarily want during their flight. I used it a few times a few years back, but it was not a pleasing experience because of the constant worry of f*****g up. Voice-aware ATC like BATC and SI gives you the immersion without the worry. Saying that I would never pay a subscription for it, so I'll stick with the former.

Looks good, looking forward to trying this out. Thanks for your efforts FrontEndRob.

Thanks for the heads up. Haven't flown X-Plane in a while, and thought I'd do a hop in the US for a change. Was a bit dismayed that both arr/dest airports (KJFK-KIAG) were completely devoid of buildings! I was somehow under the impression the most major terminals in 10.50 now had some semblance of an airport from the gateway?

Ready to hit the buy button, but it would be great to have confirmation from FSL that buying the FSX version now + P3D upgrade later, will not work out more expensive than waiting and buying the full P3D version.

Did they give some love to the built-in ATC in 10.50? I thought I read a while back they were maybe going to...?

It looks like they're using the Carenado CT206H StationAir for this particular video.

LR teasing... (XP11 perhaps ?) Is it me or do the clouds look better? P.S. Thanks to http://www.x-plained.com for the heads up.

For some AAA titles that is certainly the case, but in the context of P3D I don't believe SLI represents good value. Just my 2c as a former SLI owner. ;-)

The extra 980Ti won't make much if any difference to frames; I had two in SLI and ended up selling one. Also consider the additional power consumption, and note that significantly more heat will be generated inside your case by having two cards very close together. The 1080 will use less of power than one 980Ti and run cooler.

The first thing I usually do after installing SMP is to increase the draw distance, otherwise I get the "in the middle of a flock of sheep" effect at high altitude. Once I see some positive reviews of RWC I may buy - it is out as I write in fact! http://www.x-aviation.com/catalog/product_info.php/real-weather-connector-p-120

I have the PG279Q with 2x GTX980Ti and P3D runs great (as does everything else). Some games will max out at 165Hz but P3D is too CPU limited to really exploit the graphics hardware. I can run The Division on ultra settings and get 80-90Hz so there is real value there for well optimised titles. Maybe the upcoming Dovetail FS will scale better with modern hardware?

Nothing wrong with side projects, in fact Eugeny seems to have a new one every month! He certainly has no shortage of talent as a graphical artist and likes to innovate with new ideas in X-Plane. There are though legitimate systems issues (quite often the same exist on both the A320 and A330) that he doesn't seem interested in addressing, which is a real shame. The Qpac systems are more faithful to the original but lack the eye candy - maybe they should get together lol. It does leave a bit of a nasty taste in the mouth, and I'm sorry to say that instead of investing in more X-Plane airliners I will vote with my wallet and grab the FS Labs A320 when it comes out.

Aaargh.... what a shame, he is going down the Flightfactor road of churning out one pay-ware after another instead of dealing with his A320/A330 systems which are in dire need of improvement and refinement. This kind of philosophy just gives X-Plane a bad name as a systems-light platform, whose last best hope is IXEG.

Wow this is exactly the opposite to what I did. Just up the scaling to 400%, it makes a big difference. On my 2560x1440 monitor 300% scaling is enough for great image quality. I just leave everything else in the Nvidia CP at default.

Gents try upping the Scaling to 300 or 400% in the graphics options, that will deal with the shimmer etc. To map a G27 H-Shifter (I have a TM wheel/shifter but the principle is the same), you need to map each gear position (like a button) 1-6 and R. Set to Range and use a button of your choice for shifter toggle 1, to be able to smoothly switch between gear ranges 1-6 and 7-10. It took me a while to work it out, there's plenty of help out there if you Google for it, but try this: http://www.eurotrucksimulator2.com/input_config.php
