The Good: Citation X - Flew the ILS 10L at KPDX procedure perfectly in the demo. A330 - Love the new FMOD sound. Weather - the experience of flying through a rain shower in the setting sun coupled with the new sound effects of rain on the fuselage put a smile on face. Very convincing. Water - the new water design looks incredible. Performance - with weather/clouds, AI traffic, the demo performed great and FPS stayed well into the 30's over KPDX with a moderate RTX 2060 Super graphics card. The Bad: Same boring ground textures. I'm not concerned I'll be loading it with Orbx regions and Ortho. The Ugly: Ground Textures: After the flying XP11 and MSFS with ortho its hard to go back to the Plausible World. I've been following XP since version 9. This has been the best early release. I'm excited to see where the updates take v12.

I may have overlooked this in the thread...what is the best ortho or land class scenery to use with LLBG? Israel looks pretty bare in my stock P3DV5. Thanks.

Buy it...you won’t regret it. https://youtu.be/nzO-MlIgSjY

Excellent! 10.50 is looking fantastic!

Love the Maddog! Awesome repaint.

Tonight I flew the Rotate MD80 from Tallahassee, FL (KTLH) to Atlanta (KATL). I just downloaded 10.50b5 and a new update to Skymaxx Pro. The new X-Plane beta flew flawlessly for a beautiful flight! Sorry my FPS counter is in the corner...just getting an idea of performance. Everything flew smooth! Climbing out of Tallahassee RWY 27 - My route was ktlh.szw.warrr1.katl. Cockpit view of the climb-out. Rotatesim MD80 looks amazing. The sun has set and we are established on the WARRR1 STAR into KATL. Great night lighting in the addon. On the ILS Approach RWY 27R. On the chocks at the gate. I'm loving the new beta aircraft at airports. Textures and lights look amazing reflecting off GSE spread around the gate area. Thanks!

Can anyone verify that KMCO Orlando International Airport was shipped with 10.50b? I think I saw this in the FlightSimCon presentation on Youtube. Any pics? I'm not updating till it's stable! Thanks!

Very Nice!

Nice Shots! Love the 767!

I fly P3D V3 for my PMDG and ORBX fix. But there's something about the GNS430 in a Carenado aircraft on the PilotEdge network that keeps me coming back to XP10. It's so immersive. Props to the XP10 devs who did a massive upgrade on the GPS. It's so functional now for IFR flight!

Addons Used: Prepar3d V2.5 Active Sky Next (Real World Weather) Carenado B1900D FTX Global FTX Global Airports Imagine Sim Charlotte-Douglas International Airport Rex 4 Texture Direct Rex Soft Clouds B1900 Execliner on the flightline at KAVL Ashville, NC, taking 19 passengers on a business trip from Ashville to Charlotte, NC. Preflight complete and passengers loaded. Route entered into the FMC: KAVL.SUG.SHINE.SHINE6.KCLT Right engine start, the B1900D has a commanding ramp presence. Carenado did a great job with this addon. Both engines start...Ready to taxi. Climbing out of KAVL Ashville direct SUG VOR. Flying through REX Soft clouds adds to the immersion! Climbing to Cruise altitude of 11,000. Carenado, Active Sky, REX and ORBX working together to make P3d shine! Enroute - The office view! West of Charlotte, Air Traffic vectoring us to the south for a Visual Approach RWY 36R. Short final KCLT RWY 36R On the chocks at the GA Ramp KCLT. An AI Traffic Addon would've added to the busy airspace around Charlotte. The airport looks too quiet! Thanks for looking!

I installed ImagineSim KCLT and it looks great in FSX SE. ImagineSim KATL installed but had no textures, I will keep testing. Both installers pointed directly to the Steam FSX folder during installation.

I agree with Deetee, the high altitude visibility is one of the warts on this simulator. Those flying heavy metal up high in the flight levels have to look over this on every flight. It's time for this one to finally get resolved.

I downloaded John Venema's ENB file from the ORBX forums and it has worked flawlessly...I don't think I have had a single CTD from ENB.

I uninstalled FSX, P3d is much smoother, and the new shaders in P3D look outstanding. I too am holding out for X-Plane, I'm hoping Laminar can push some major overhauls through on 10.3 and 10.4. For now, i'll gladly stick to P3D.
