I agree.... Very well done.

Impressive.

One of my favorite planes...previously provided by ALABEO in XP11, but now wonderfully provided by Aerobask for XP12....Awesome! ...and with WingFlex?! So nice.

True that! I am in the same boat, family vs sim vs time….family wins! But I can still appreciate effort and work….and this add-on is a top contender in the sim world.

This is one addon that is worth the money......even if you don't fly it.... Just performing the walk around and checking out the 3d work, you really know that this is a work of investment and appreciation. Great job Hot Start for pushing boundaries!

For me, xp12 invites flying in more varied conditions... The first principle lighting and environmental effects are very well integrated and achieves good fidelity. The future is bright once the sim is more polished.

I have to say Kudos to Airfoillabs, this is a great achievement in modeling and details. I am impressed and enjoying it immensely. The modeling detail is second to none and is ground breaking. At the price of 50 dollars...it's a must have. Good job. Beauty may be skin deep but not if it's done tight. And this was done right. Cheers.

Wonderful work...thank you.

Wondering the same....

No multimonitor fix yet for the roll issue it seems...

Having invested many $$$ over the years in P3d only to be OOMed to Xplane, lol, I have to appreciate P3d for finally going 64bit to resolve that issue, but also to thank them for introducing me to Xplane! These are 2 really great products and have their own merits. They both will live on my harddrive. Xplane has a longer road to go in terms of 3rd party dev, but it has the advantage of also starting from a clean state....no legacy code to be an obstacle. Xplane should be bold and push the edge and continue as to what is possible and practical based on current state of art (where's that 3d water yo!?!) :-) There is room in the market for at least two great platforms especially when they compete!

Thank you.

Bring on the add-ons! Fun times ahead!

I don't know for anyone else, but my frame rates have gone up since downloading the texture content. I had the whole world already installed. The updater found some 3gb more content. Now in some places my FPS have increased from 5 to 15 Frames. I am still trying to understand why...

So good to have more than one great sim to choose from...he he...

Well..I can see his side... $60 bucks is just the entrance fee when you realize the effort to come of all the potential new add ons and spending.. And then after you spend 3-4k you walk away to build again afresh.... This hobby isn't cheap and at the end of the day there are many broken promises. But its great that X-Plane offers so much with that initial $60 investment....its gotta be the best deal in the sim biz right now.

Thank you for the reference Sesquashtoo!

Roger that. If they come, I know they can help X-Plane become better...but as it is, X-plane is already better without them.

Very nice...what are your graphic settings..and what processor and card are you running?

Confirmed...thank you! Started with the older plane did the trick (and without engine started), but it revealed the root cause which seemed to be joystick related, as a popup was generated to calibrate or ignore the joystick. The problem though is that the sim continued in some type of load loop where the popup kept generating every second.....I kept pressing ignore until it finally took. Then the sim loaded properly thereafter.

Same here...not ale to mouse click on side windows.only center.

All of this is transitional... Welcome to 2017. Xp11 has strong merits that will attract allot of people... me included. As per orbx supporting XPlane, as a major contributor to fsx/P3D, it would be nice for them to expand into XPlane. But XPlane has its own characteristics and features for which I would expect more from orbx over a simple port of their current products. I think XPlane is raising the bar in their Rendition with xp11....where you really don't miss orbx in the way you do with fsx/P3D. Also, I do recall orbx putting up some resistance to supporting P3D initially as well. So, in time, all of this will change and things will work as developers see opportunity. The base product is the key and Xp11 is looking real good. It will work out I think....or bust.

Loved FSX...Loved P3d....now loving XP11... All these programs are great in their own light, but in my eyes...the one that brings me closest to flight without interruption and bankruptcy wins my attention. So right now that is XP11. Congrads to the team for their continued effort and success thus far... Loving xenviro too.

Purchased xenviro last week... I found the x-plane default clouds to be a bit obnoxious and killed the realism found elsewhere for me. Plus, the haze and foggy air quality was a tad overdone for my taste. All that said, those are all things that I feel will improve over time as x-plane matures further. But my interest was peeked for anything that can improve in those areas now. So I gave xenviro a try. Xenviro is great. It has addressed my pet peeves and more. It is not perfect as said by others, but for a version 1 product I feel it has a solid foundation to build on. The weather depiction with rain and snow and distant clouds etc etc... all are now in keeping with the standards raised in other aspects of this sim. So, so far so good. The developer has committed to more enhancements and features, so the next update should be telling in this regard. Particularly I want see the up close rendering of clouds improved as well as more cloud definition (hello HD pack). So I look forward to what this team will do and wish them well.

Tried the XPlane 11 demo..... Can't say it was love at first sight due to some initial controller issue forcing the need to get into the configuration options pronto. But once settled and I could fly, the experience was better than I could anticipate for a demo and I have to say I was gratified. Coming from a background of various Sims, including my current favorite P3D, I have to say this team has done something well. I tried xp10 previously and it didn't do much for me. But version 11 has definitely gotten my attention... Sold. I purchased it so I could explore the other areas and that is going well. I loaded nycx last night and I must say...... NYC never looked better. And no Oom, and building textures are as meant to be..... For that alone this is a worthwhile experience. Congrads to the team and effort. I am already enjoying this Rendition.
