Hot Start A220 😀

I really hope LR do not modify the haze...I find it incredibly realistic and true to life. The unlimited visibility of the other sim is unrealistic in many weather situations.

Thanks all. I will stick to the Toliss Airbus.

Hello, I'm considering buying an X craft E-jet V2...175 or 195. I'm very fussy regarding accurate VNAV calculations. So my question: Is it possible to enter descent winds into the FMS (as per the real aircraft)? Without this an accurate TOD cannot be realised. Thanks for your help.

Weather in XP12 is incredibly realistic. If you wanna experience what flying through frontal cloud layers is truly like.....XP12 excels to the point that I plan my flights just to fly through frontal cloud layers! I'm a IRL pilot and meteorologist working for the UK met office....and believe you me...the depiction of all clouds types - cirriform, convective clouds (including CBs and normal shower clouds) and multilayered stratiform frontal clouds is mind-blowing...no exaggeration! It's amazing.

Yes I totally agree. The cloudscape in Xplane 12 is leaps and bounds above the competition. Last week I was flying over a frontal system....I was absolutely blown away by the various cloud layers... mostly stratiform (as it should be for a frontal cloud band) but with some incredible embedded convection. The realism is spot on.

That's great news....thanks!

When are going to implement FMC winds?! That's a major show stopper for me...not able to calculate an accurate TOD in a strong head or tailwind 🙄

I love the Toliss A32O NEO. Every flight is executed to perfection....managed descent just works flawlessly...meeting every altitude and speed constraints during the most complex STARs even during strong head or tailwinds...and it does so smoothly...with no fuss. It's perfection exemplified.

Ha! Same...not a hospital but a silo at the end of the downwind leg left hand for RWY 12 at Cardiff!

Try XP12...I have and never looked back!

If this product can add haze to the atmosphere, then I'd likely purchase it. Can not believe MS2020 and 24 still can not simulate haze. It's outrageous!

If you want proper CB's modelled correctly...XP12 is the way to go. Clouds and the atmosphere is far more realistic than MS2024...and that from a IRL pilot and meteorologist.

I respect your position on this. However, try this out (without the haze modifier lua)...climb up to 35,000 feet somewhere over the UK during midday where there are few clouds. Often you can see for many many miles out across the countryside to the point where the scenery is no longer rendered. This implies the visibility is greatly in excess of 20, 30 miles or more. Visibility is accurate. I think enhancing visibility anymore would be comparable to MS2020/24 which of course is totally inaccurate. Have tried the latest beta without the Haze Lua...you might find the haze has been toned down somewhat compared to previous betas.

I am concerned with all this discussion regarding haze that it will be the catalyst for LR to regress into that depicted by MS2024...clear almost unlimited visibility! This would be sacrilege. As an IRL pilot and having flown many years in the UK...the haze depiction in XP12 is accurate!! In fact the latest updates seemed to have toned down the haze. Haze is a prominent atmospheric phenomena which if diluted down anymore by LR...will become unrealistic translating into an atmosphere too clean and clear. I'm not suggesting the atmosphere cannot be clean and clear however this is the exception to the rule in many locations around the world.
