Guys lets all stop arguing...its only dividing us...I already apologised so why go on.....I love certain aspects of Xplanes Graphics...the lighting, the clouds etc...lets face it, it has some great features i wish FSX had and Austin does try to make the sim as realistic as he can .....am not going to argue the negatives anymore its pointless and achieves nothing, my mistake for getting carried away!...both sims are great ..i do so love the true VTOL in xplane....and i love the weird and wonderful concept aircraft one fines in the XP sim...and am sure XP will continue to mature whilst FSX has stagnated apart from 3rd party add-ons...i just wish the overall package of XP was better.BUT i accept i made a few silly comments to that effect and apologised!, but in all fairness this WHOLE thread is one BIG argument with ALL OF YOU!! and NOT just me!...the admin have showed patience and allowed it to go on maybe too long?....so lets respect them and this site and stop the arguing guys...If XP10 improves this year and irons out some issues and continues to mature i will prob take another look..until then am happy with FSX.....in the end we are all simmers..so lets not fall out.....

Ok agreed i apologise if i have offended anyone....i think the whole thread was a bit titt for tat from the 1st page before i even entered the arena..(as is normally the way with FSX v XP threads)...its human nature i suppose to defend your tribe or team or in this case your chosen sim!......but i agree with the Admin, arguing ones points in such a belligerent manner which may offend or sound arrogant to others is not conducive or helpful for the good of the thread or subject matter!...i fear my keyboard fingers may have got the better of me and for that i apologise to anyone i may have annoyed or upset.On a lighter note happy new year to Avisim and all simmers everywhere!...lets raise a glass to it and great sims like FS9,FSX, and XP9 AND 10 or whatever other sim you prefer and love....... :(

Yes!....whats your problem with that?......and why do u need to repeat my whole post parrot fashion?...here lets clarify....Zombified 1.Is the state of being stimulated in an unconscious state to your actual state of being; being under the influence of psychotropic prescription drugs, music, sex, alcohol, with the effect of not being connected to reality.zealotan immoderate, fanatical, or extremely zealous adherent to a cause, esp a religious oneCombine these two together and i would in my experience say that describes ANY xplane fan!.....we FSX users would love xplane to blow FSX out of the water or FS9 even for that matter..(one reason WE ALWAYS try out new incarnations of Xplane!)......but it doesn't!.......like any games review you can ALWAYS expect negative feedback along with the positive...after all whats the point of just waffling like old women about the good aspects?...if no one ever brought the negative issues to light then no advancement/corrections would ever be made in ANY simulation or anything at all for that matter!...its inevitable to hear criticism.....we are not out to spoil anyone's day..we are all only trying to compare and share our experiences as flightsimmers...but why cant xplane fans stand any negative feedback or prefer to brush it under the rug?...for those daft xplane fans who cant handle any sort of criticism of xplane OR Austin then like i said don't read these forums!....

Wow!!....How very original....do you make these witty sayings up or do you search online for these 5yr + old clichéd sayings?....

Hey my first post was only airing some of my experiences with XP 10...i didn't know if i would like it until i flew it!.....i already said i deleted the demo!........now am just offering some of my findings if that's ok with you!...am sure feedback is important with any demo..if i cant post them at avsim then avsim and its users have a problem not me!...am not here to upset anyone, if users here wish to ridicule my comments and graphics card whilst others wish to brag about their performance using the same card that's their choice i dont mind or get upset!... but don't turn this around....am only giving my opinions...if YOU don't wish to hear them then DON'T READ these forums!.... In my experience I have found the VAST majority of XP users can be quite averting and dogmatic when it comes to FSX v XP discussions!...its all a bit depressing tbh but also inevitable. Anyway many FSX users genuinely wish to embrace a new, better sim than FSX, ONE with real 3d clouds and true VTOL amongst other things for me.......am sure the cancellation of FS11 was a big disappointment for a lot of simmers, so many eyes where then re-focused on the Hyped up promises of XP10 as was I...my experiences here are genuine and not intended to insult or upset...BUT yes try explaining anything negative to an XP user and they soon start slapping their handbags around willy nilly like flustered old women!... Leen3131c...i have a feeling thats something to do with your flying skills rather than faults in the Sim! :( Whahahahaha!!!! to you too!Anyway like i said its a shame XP 10 is another let down for the majority of FSX users and the loss of a lucrative huge potential market for Austin!..if Austin had got his act together and delivered on his Overly enthusiastic promises, then he could have converted an awful lot of FSX users!.. which in turn would of resulted in all the major ADDON scenery and payware aircraft developers creating and concentrating their energies on XP....so until all that happens (and i hope it does one day!) i will stick to my beloved and faithful FSX, ORBX, REX, PMDG, AEROSOFT,CAPT SIM, etc etc etc.....good day gentleman...

Haha your so funny :( ...i bet you were actually a proper comedian in your past life lol...i notice most of your posts are of the limited vocabulary sarcastic type lol..you have real talent my friend..its def a gift you have!.....anyway...forgive me for laughing so loud at your witty and great genius lol......now were was i?......,,ah yes..my humble 285 ...well lets just suffice to say...at least it can handle FSX on max with all the beautiful ORBX sceneries and REX with silky smooth ease thanks!, speaking of which the resultant visual feast looks about ..oh 5 times more realistic and visually satisfying than any lego land XP10 gaudy graphical abortion!... and am sure most non biased observers would agree whole heartedly!....why after so much time does Austin's sim still look like a sandbox do it yourself sim city program thats what i would like to know????... ...it seems to offer so many good features then goes and spoils the overall package every time...like a pretty girl who has bad breath and speaks like a donkey!....its so frustrating because i was hoping for something better and at least something worthwhile to try to entice me away from FSX for a change...but no...its not going to happen....One thing i always noticed and somewhat irritated me with XP was the constant fiddling and updating to a newer supposed better more refined version ie v 1..v1.01...v1.03..v1.04..v 1.046...and on and on and on!..you get the picture!....yes some newer updates often brought some 'Cool' improved features..but hey often they also incorporated many new problems whilst attempting to fix old ones....Yes i know Austin's was once a one man band and kudos to him for making his millions...and yes now he still has a limited motley band of helpers/resources ...BUT after 9 versions you would expect most of the serious issues to at least be sorted out!....funny then on version 10 Austin still doesn't understand anything about water friction then!....laughable!

Hi i have just tried the demo and couldn't help but read this thread with some amusement and bemusement..........I found XP 10 to be not much different to v9 in its basic approach and ideology...nothing really strikes me as being much of an improvement to be honest....certainly not what i was expecting after hearing Austin's usual OTT hyped up promises for great things with this version!.....Yes there are a few new and good ideas and inclusions, but it still strikes me as having a very cartoonish feel with sim city style city layouts that do not seem representative in any way at all of a real city.... The demo did NOT run as smooth as i hoped for either with details set even at the demo defaults it never felt fluid (i7 cpu @ 4.2ghz, 6 GIG RAM, GTX 285)....cranking the settings up to see if this sim could look any better only turned the experience into a sad rather pitiful slide show!, YET even at these max setting the water still managed to look very false, the landscapes just seemed weird too, the same XP artificial look , only littered with more plastic-ky feeling trees, roads, buildings etc...the whole feeling was just not realistic am afraid..it felt as if i was in plastic world full of slapped on toy scenery...... I liked the clouds, the volumetric effects and fogging etc..i like d the runways follwing the landscape mesh too, and a few other parts of the sim impressed me such as the lighting...but every other part of the sim just felt tacky, disjointed a bit like an adults LEGO land type of feeling and not very impressive or immersive at all to be honest, as for the included aircraft in XP10, well they still seemed laughable and very poor representations of their real life counterparts when compared to FSX's much better default aircraft (lets not get into FSX's pay-ware awesomeness!)..WHY do .XP 10's planes STILL seem (VERY!) limited as regards polygons and textures etc, they looked very typical XP offerings, ie uninspiring and certainly nothing to shout about for a sim that boasts so much and is far younger than the now old FSX technology..... It seems X PLANE 10 is just like the rest of its inbred mish mash of a family...STILL full of hype, full of bugs, full of LEGO LAND style scenery thats really NOT very realistic, full of low polygon laughable aircraft, full of strange power-lines that look like spaghetti strung about without any realism and even have their towers actually on the very roads they are supposed to pass over!., in fact its STILL full of silly so called 'COOL' features that in reality look stupid!..lets face it X plane will never attract the masses because it fails in so many basic areas. I know there are many X plane zombified zealots out there who will always defend this sim (deluded zombiefied zealots springs to mind maybe lol?) to the death no matter what...but lets ALL be honest here...this new sim is a BIG let down, its as rubbish as ALL the others!..its a quirky, jerky!, LEGO LAND experience that FAILS to impress or achieve any of its promises and who or why anyone would wish to continue to support it or even claim its better than the much older FSX one of life's great mysteries!...My 3 yr old son has one of those roll out PLAY-MATS with all the roads printed on it for him to play with his cars...XPLANE 10 reminds me very much of such a ROLL OUT play-mat with all its new plastic 'lego' feel cityscapes laid out with ridiculous meticulous child like uniformity everywhere!...like all the other demo's before it, it was deleted and rejected after a few hrs of testing and rejecting!....
