I finally decided to download the latest beta and try X-plane X. Hey, it's a new year. Why not? I hope you don't mind if I share my experience and then ask the question: Are devs going to embace this simulator? I hope that they do because it has the potential to be great simulator! Installation was simple, but loading times seem a bit slow and setting up the controller and grapics was complicated. I tried the 64bit version and noticed shimmers in the distance, but after teaking the settings I noticed sharper textures and smooth flying. 1) The default planes are ok, but I will be using payware airplanes. I know that this will NOT be an issue. 2) The ground textures look good, but I'm hoping that developers will enhance the textures with seasons, objects, etc. 3) The clouds look BAD. I hope REX develops Essentials soon or at least clouds that can be used in x-plane x. Opus anyone? 4) AI, there were some planes at KSEA, but this is NOT a big deal 2me. All that AI does for me (in FSX) is decrease performance. 5) I hear some realistic ATC voices, but did not go deep into it because of the limitted area that the demo allows. I did not plan an IFR flight with ATC guidance. I hope that this is one day available, if it isn't right now. 6) Airports: I did notice that Aerosoft has some add-ons and I hope to see even more. I've also read that some FSX airports work in x-plane. This is great news because I have so many payare airports that I would like to use with x-plane. I enjoy flying VFR in complex regions like ORBX, so I hope that some developers design certain regions solely for this purpose. I also enjoy flying a complex airliner from one complex airport to the next. I will conclude by stating that the one thing that has hooked me is the NIGHT LIGHTING. I love flying at night and FSX 3D lighting is detrimental to performance. X-Plane is simply amazing and this is why I'm going to buy X-Plane global and begin my transition. I also experience very smooth flight and not CTDs. I hope that the full version is just as stable. Thanks for reading and have a happy new year.
