I've first tried X-Plane 10 a while ago, when it was first released, and like so many others my first reaction was "it's nice, but..." which was followed by uninstalling it. Last year, I gave it another try, but once again decided that it was a "alright" but nothing more. Uninstalled it once again. Now it's the third attempt... and this time I can't deny that X-Plane is impressive in some regards. Most of all, and surprisingly to me, scenery. And all this is possible thanks to the awesome people who have created amazing freeware such as the SimHeaven photo scenery, World2Xplane, HDMesh and many others. The result, in my opinion, is not too shabby!
