What a gem! Jose

I decided to go back and do some flying in XP11 since my MSFS is currently OOC. I am pleasantly surprised by what I see! TE SoCal is amazing! KBKV. My home airport looks so GOOD! Night lighting is still very nice! It's also silky smooth. I'm so glad that I can go back to a reliable sim until MSFS matures. Jose

Boy, do I love MSFS 2020. It is clearly the next gen sim. And this is from someone who is invested in XPlane 11. There are many minor missing features such as replays, rewind/resume, TrackIR pause, etc. I am sure in time these will be addressed in future updates. Most importantly, there are workarounds today. But one major issue remains without a workaround. And it only affects a small population of people trying to fly with triple monitors, or super duper ultra-wide monitors. That is, MSFS doesn't yet support such views. Current attempts using Nvidia Surround produce distracting distortions which does not actually help with flying. I am trying to raise awareness of this issue, so that it can be prioritized by Asobo properly. Or perhaps some smart members will figure out ways to tweak config variables such as WideViewAspect and the like, to make this work today. This long article shows lots of pictures taken in the last two days, to illustrate this issue: https://xinhaidude.com/2020/08/22/geometric-distortion-in-a-triple-monitor-setup-for-msfs-2020-compared-to-xplane-11/ Here is one of many illustrations from the article:- 25 replies

This is not a debate about flight sims. Its just my morning thinking. Recently with Covid I found my interests focused on things other than flight simming. I wrote my life's memoir and its being published as we speak. I haven't opened up a sim, except for a brief install of freeware test, all summer. Actually since March 2020. The launch of MSFS2020 happened. I was confronted with watching the discussions and conversations by many. So here I sit, with a P3D4.5+ and XP11.4+ on my PC. My three year old video card is basically useless, getting a "reasonable" new one will be $1,000. I have windows 7 Pro so my system needs to be upgraded, which will most probably make all my other software (for non simming activities, photo manipulation, movie compilation and other productivity stuff) needing upgrades or driver replacement and such, which everyone knows is a pain. There are endless new payware and freeware that can be added to both my two existing sims, which is a big job to just keep up. So now what? Do I venture forth into adding a new sim, more messing about, more addons, more money for upgrades to my PC and addons? I can tell you I have grown tired of it all. Perhaps when the rains and snows come this winter I'll find I'm looking for something to do. But money is certainly a limitation. Why do I suspect that folks will be messing around with MSFS for a couple years and along will come another new flightsim (bigger-better) and yet will we still never have a complete one available and will still need new hardware, new addons? Just sipping my coffee and thinking. Bryan

This is how Lisbon looks with payware Lisbon airport and freeware photo scenery package: The good thing is that I can always revert back to ORBX FTXG/LC/Vectors package if I want winter textures by simply choosing my SimStarter profile. So I have options. Jose -

I never flew much in the Carib, because XP11's default is soooooooooooooooooo bad...BUT...look at the Carib now...at Freeport in the Bahamas! This is the latest version with HD Global textures installed. For $30.00 folks, this shows XP11 default the door, and kicks butt! In this package, you pick up custom autogen that is specific to the region that you are flying in...home achitexture, colors...etc, and the forests are also custom and included, world-wide. I was running with Orbx's TerraFlora, but I really like his newly reworked trees, now featured in the update. So...I am now using Mr. X6's for non Orbx region depictions. This scene has the newly minted forestry.... Orbx Global for Xplane is DEAD-on-non-arrival,...and this is what it might have been, or even better, as we know the output of the FAMOUS, Mr. x6! so........not vapor ware...you can now fly anywhere non-custom in the XP11 world...and enjoy. Mr. X6 will be adding other autogen regions as updates, not having to pay for them...but as updates. The entire Carib is one already installed...as autogen. Enjoy! I certainly am....and oh...finally...FPS friendly as well. They won't take 'a knee'....lol! Early morning, around 0700 hours...exploring Freeport ...

To climb over this mountain! A VFR flight from Palm Springs to Carlsbad, CA (KPSP-KCRQ) I've got to say, while I had missed the flight modeling and my precious GTN in XP11, the scenery of MSFS, on its own, almost makes up for it hehe. thepower by Ryan Butterworth, on Flickr thepower2 by Ryan Butterworth, on Flickr thepower3 by Ryan Butterworth, on Flickr thepower4 by Ryan Butterworth, on Flickr thepower5 by Ryan Butterworth, on Flickr thepower6 by Ryan Butterworth, on Flickr thepower7 by Ryan Butterworth, on Flickr thepower8 by Ryan Butterworth, on Flickr thepower10 by Ryan Butterworth, on Flickr thepower11 by Ryan Butterworth, on Flickr thepower13 by Ryan Butterworth, on Flickr thepower14 by Ryan Butterworth, on Flickr thepower15 by Ryan Butterworth, on Flickr thepower16 by Ryan Butterworth, on Flickr thepower17 by Ryan Butterworth, on Flickr

Took off from Graskop Airfield (South Africa / Kruger) The Grumman AA5 Traveller is the best prop for me. Fantastic sounds and feels amazing with the handling.
