amazing

Sure it does, and so do a lot of other things. But it still rocks in its present condition

Thanks for passing on the info to Ben and Austin, Javier. I hope they'll look it into it. But the important thing is that, this engine is based on Direct X and X-Plane is OpenGL. So I think we might have a problem here. Edit: It DOES support OPENGL aswell as Ogre and OpenSceneGraph. Just saw it in their Feature list. A very interesting read about the Simul Weather 1.8 here http://www.modsim.org/Articles/Simul/index.htm#hdr

Agree, but I think they won't be using it.As we know, they are building their own weather engine for V10.

How it works on Intel Core i7.

Just tried their demo. You can actually go 'into' and 'through' those clouds. It's very easy on fps even on max detail. Will be posting a video soon.

Slight mistake and "BooOOOMm" !!!! Nice flying though.

Some thing more on X-Plane 10 and Global Illumination. http://xplanescenery.blogspot.com/2010/08/x-plane-10-and-global-illumination.html

What if you get these type of clouds in X-Plane 10. Amazing !! Plus, these clouds are very light on GPU,CPU and memory. Read here http://www.simul.co.uk/weather

LOL !

Some very interesting stuff coming up I see ! Time to buy that 6-Core processor

This is what Kevin Ugangst (a senior director in Microsoft's game unit) said recently, "it is looking to appeal to flying enthusiasts with the realism, accuracy, and fidelity they expect, but also imagines including other types of gameplay that might appeal more to novices."

It seems quite interesting to me.

Loved your reviews. Please keep them coming.

Yes, lighting system does look like V9's with a little bit of improvement. Agreed on that one. About the weather, I know it's a WIP but still my eyes couldn't see any significant improvement in it.You can see how the clouds look in that Shuttle screenshot. Please correct me if I am wrong. Thanks.

Those shots look awesome. Where did you get them from sully ? Kesomir, is that day shot from XP-10 ?

Glad I could be of assistance

I think with that card you'll be able to play at pretty high settings. And since X-Plane 10 is releasing sometime later this year, I think its time to upgrade Cheers.

GTX 470 AMP edition is a must buy! I totally recommend it. It received positive reviews. I don't own one but my friend have two of them in SLI. He said his temps don't go above 70c (that's pretty darn good !!!). Temps of stock fermi cards can reach upto 100c !! Nvidia claims that their cards can operate at high temps but seriously man I am not the type of guy who want's to risk a 400$ card. the 470 AMP runs cool and stable and above all its overclocked too ! So all in all its a great card. I'll be buying Zotac's GTX 480 AMP next month and i'll PM you my temps !! :-) By the way what casing do you have ?

GTX 470 will be nice. But this fermi series are having over heating issues. Try googling and it and you'll know what I am talking about. Infact these new GTX cards run so hot that you can fry an egg on them. My advise is that DONT buy stock fermi cards. Buy cards with aftermarket coolers. Here http://pden.zotac.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage_images.tpl&product_id=257&category_id=120&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=1 .This is the best option for you at the moment. Comes pre-overclocked with a great aftermarket cooler and runs cool ! This will cost you a bit more but it's totally worth it. I'll be buying GTX 480 soon because my 5970 sucks on X-Plane

I respect XPJEtS 777 and same goes for each every other Aircraft Dev out there. No matter what our personal issues are but at the end of the day it all comes down to representing X-PLANE as ONE community ! I realize the fact that there are some Payware planes out there which doesn't meet the standard of being a Payware but we can hope that their quality will improve in the near future. Simple as it is "If you don't like it, then don't buy it" As for me I haven't yet bought Heinz 787 mainly because of negative reviews but Hell I'll surely be buying the CRJ and the 777 !

This isn't x-plane 10 I guess. Its X-Plane 9 and only some of the aircrafts are from X-Plane 10. Am I right ? Because I don't see any improvement in the graphics engine whatsoever.

Yes, ANO 4 is in Pak only.Today The Chairman of Airblue, Mr.Shahid Abbassi said in a conference that Captain Pervaiz wasn't fatigued at all and had 25000 hours of flying experience plus he was a Captain in PIA and had a vast experience of flying the 747's. He made his last successful flight on 26th July on the same A321 aircraft. The First Officer had 1700 hours ( 300 hours on the A321 ). He further said that the plane had no technical problems at all and it was in a perfect condition before taking off. He says that experts from Airbus company have also joined the investigation and they'll share any news regarding the crash with public as soon as they uncover the hidden truth.

Because of ANO 4 system introduced in Pakistan by Civil Aviation Authority and PIA, pilots aren't allowed to rest properly. Fatigue of a 65 year old pilot can be one of the reasons here. But the question is, what was the first officer doing ? Who was watching the altitude and heading ? There can be many reasons for this crash. Only Blackbox can disclose the secrets.
