I re-posted some pix as a reply recently in another topic, to show some lunacy/fun I had in MSFS originally. I commented at the time that I wondered if the much vaunted flight model in XP would even let me do such things or just bounce me out of the sky due to some arcane rule of aerodynamics or somesuch. So I thought I'd recreate the event in XP12. And hey - it seems Austin loves a loony too! (or at least is prepared to tolerate one). So here we go, out from Heathrow in the Tollis A319, one of my faves for XP, and off east over the Smoke. Over Hyde Park Chas and Cam's bijou city pad Swinging round to follow the river now Post Office Tower (as I still think of it) in the background, along with Centre Point. All good memories but I haven't been near any of that stuff for probably 35 years now Piccadilly Circus below. Notice the plug for Orbx, which is fair enough as it's their splendid True Earth that makes XP12 work for me Easing in to position For some reason, I can hear John McEnroe's voice in my head at this point "If you look out of the left hand window . . " 'ere we go, 'ere we go, 'ere we go. . . Mmmm, that was ok. Wonder if we've got enough sick bags to try that inverted . . ." Wonder if they do a floats version of this And away! Hey! I'm a sherious simmer, me As ever, no pixels were harmed in the making of this episode. The management does not recommend trying this without the aid of immensly impressive serious flight simming experience and skills. Or a large glass or three of Bushmills. Whichever comes more naturally. Life is short, Any sim is meant to be fun. Enjoy it all!

Half a dozen shots just checking to see if my XP11 A380 works ok in XP12. Seems to be fine for my use (no idea if any of the systems actually work, of course) This is the default EGLL. I bought the TaiModels version, and it looks great, but I think it might be causing a weird ground tile problem out east and I've stopped using it till I can figure it out. Coming up over Southend I (mis)spent my youth in Southend, from age 5 to 20, and it sort of disturbs me to look down on a shot like this and think that my entire formative years were spent in a patch of the planet pretty much covered by one smallish cloud shadow. That WAS my world for all that time. But now the world's my lobster, as Del would say -
This is not me playing silly b*ggers again. But as I came out from my Tower Bridge escapade this oil platform was sitting here next to the O2 arena. Not seen it before. Anybody else getting this? I have True Earth GB South here, and also (at the bottom of my scenery.ini file) all the Simheaven stuff. I guess it might be the later even though it's at the bottom of the list.

Just playing around with XP12 again. Checking out what works in XP12. This P51 seems fine, as does the Spitfire to come in another set shortly. So nothing hugely fancy here. There's a fairly lousy EGLL in the bacground here. The default is not nice and I feel the Aerosoft one from XP11 is almost worse. Have to confess I just bought my first bit of XP scenery in three years - a new Heathrow, and I'll get some shots of that later as well. Pix are from two different flightrs with two different liveries. Still struggling with a couple of things.The roads don't look as good as I remember them from XP11 but I can't at this point remember what trick I used back then. And it all feels a little bit too green in places. Still more than happy to spend time in both sims at the moment. Trouble is, it's beginning to seem like I might be buying addons for two as well!
