  1. honestly, i would rather have no buildings than those ugly default buildings in FSX. I hear when the WED comes out people will create the airport sceneries and then they will be distributed.
  2. The new 10.04 b2 soon to be released will improve and tone down the effects of turbulence etc especially with real world weather turned on. http://wiki.x-plane.com/beta#X-Plane_10.04_Beta_2.2C_COMING_SOON
  3. How is that awkward? I find it easy to change the time, just slide the slider, don't get how thats awkward. Also you can adjust time of day in-sim using the K & L keys. Really nice feature.
  4. I love the X-plane UI. I don't get how people can hate it so much. Once you learn your way around the menus, its extremely efficient and fast to use. Sure it doesn't have pictures to guide you or anything of the like but that was not its intended purpose.
  5. I really want to be a commercial pilot, but as already stated, it is not what it used to be. Here is my plan....i am currently 16 working on my PPL, once i graduate high school i plan on going to the ohio state university to major in aerospace engineering and minor in aviation. Hopefully i can land an internship/job with netjets and work my way up and "get to know people." Once i get my degrees and necessary ratings i can flight instruct for a while then join a regional for a little bit until i have enough hours to fly for netjets. OR i can use my degree in engineering to possibly get a more stable, better paying job with an aircraft manufacturing company etc. what do you guys think?
  6. The T-34 is beautiful, but i find that it is a little too overpowered and a little too unstable. I dont have the F33A but i mainly fly the crj or carenados 152.
  7. Some of the airport scenery by butnaru has some moving stuff i think, his sceneries can be found at the x-plane.org store.
  8. I tested the crj at 60 knots direct crosswind with the parking brake and engines off. The plane was moving on the ground. I toned it back to 50 kts and it didnt move. I also did some flying in these winds and it was pretty stable. I did even manage a 50 kt crosswind landing although it was really difficult, but stable non the less.
  9. It depends on the aircraft, a payware aircraft with a good flight model will probably fly and feel smoother then your default aircraft. Xplanes wind and turb are a little overpowered but alot of the instability people are having might just be because of the flight model, not the wind. It all depends on how much time the developer puts into the flightmodel.
  10. Download the Demo, try it out, if you don't like it, don't buy it and wait till it gets better. At least laminar is generous enough to offer a demo for potential customers to try before they buy. And remember it is still in a BETA phase. why should you go to the X-plane developer blog? because that is where you will find what is happening and what they are fixing. If you were concerned with the state of X-plane, why wouldn't you go there first for information before ranting on a public forum? I'm sure laminar knows peoples gripes and are working on them, and just because they don't publicly hold your hand at the avsim forums and tell you it's going to be alright, that doesn't mean it will not get done. The customers paid the full price, sure, but guess what? it includes frequent, FREE updates all throughout the version 10 cycle, so you ARE getting a FULL simulator for your money. expecting a bug free product at initial release is just absolutely absurd and just stupid, especially in the simulator market. may I recall that MS didn't release a bug free product when they released FSX? and look, it is still a buggy product today! although laminar has not gone to great lengths to personally notify their customers, you can find a lot of information on their website, which would be the first place i would go if i was looking for an answer.. along with the X-plane developer blog. obviously you have a grudge against X-plane and Laminar, but it is not solely their fault that people are uninformed about what they are getting. Some people are just too lazy not to do research before they know what they are getting into. others are impatient and think that everything can be fixed over night. Sure i understand that people are upset, but this is how every X-plane release has gone down (as far as i'm aware of), and while frustrating at times, it is a good way to make X-plane the best flight simulator it can be, by exposing it to people so they can find the bugs and address peoples wants and needs. Nothing is set in stone in X-plane, things are constantly evolving and changing and becoming better.
  11. Oh yes, check out the ixeg 737, the xp jets 777 , and others. You will be presently surprised. Also there is an amazing Beaver coming out and i cant wait for gorans dc-3 and saab 340.
