X-plane

[+Brainless 1]

I noticed that this sim is on offer at a really good price at the moment and was thinking of getting it. I dabbled with the idea a year or so ago but was put off one by the price and two by the GB size it needed. Those aren't issues now so I am thinking about this again. Does anyone know how it compares with FS9/FSX and what the good and bad things are about it? I've looked at some reviews but they are a bit mixed.

I have X-Plane 7 and 8 but for me this sim is different from FS series.

 

Bad:

 

First the setting: I get mad to try to configure my Sidewinder and controls.

Second the sound effect: compared to FS the sounds are poor (engines), sorry but i love that noise.

Third the model detail: I think lower than FS.

 

Good:

 

1st. : Weather effects and light effects.

2nd. : The flight model is better than FS because the sim use the 3D shape for the dynamics.

 

Try it anyway.

Thanks for the heads up. I'm still considering whether or not to get this!
