Xflyboy

Thank you the heads-up Philipp!

All your bases are belong to us!!!

LOL, Just be a GOOD Boy...

ROFLMAO!!! Just a little while longer and we'll have our disks, then you shouldn't be bored anymore

James, Don't waste your time on the A2A forums, most of those guys will never change. I have noticed a few of the guys I've seen over the past few years on the Orbx's forums who really are excited with XP10. Like I have done, when they are ready to take a good hard look at XP they will, and a few will not go back. FYI: I have noticed Holger has been trolling around in the XP forums on Avsim, wonder if he d/l the demo.

XP has some great developers here already, so this is going to be an exciting year! XP developers will have my cash first, no matter who comes on board, as long as it's what I'm looking for!

Guys, Remember this is a Beta" version, better things will come in due time.

It's pretty sad to me that company's like Orbx, PDMG & A2A aren't even willing to look at XP a little deeper. But it's their loss! What I find really crazy is that people are willing to purchase their products for FSX and now that Prepared3D is born (from FSX ESP), these same companies are offering their product for a reduced fee if you already own the product to fly in P3d. So, lets look at what has happened. Say you purchased all of Obx's stuff, now for another $8 (per product) you can use it in P3D, however you need to have FSX loaded with the products you own for "Cross-Licencing". Then you add another $500 one-time fee or $10 month to fly P3d. So you paid for 2 versions of FSX and spent X-amount more on stuff you already purchased. No wonder these developers won't come over, their making to much money. But they all want to bash XP, but someday down the road, XP will be the premier Fight-Sim, after MSFS pulls their "promising stuff" again. I also noticed not to many FSX users are bashing "Flight", and all they have shown is a few short screens & video's. For ME XP is MY sim of choice, great community and great developers. ed

James, I too have totally moved to XPlane starting with V8. I own most all of Orbx's scenery and most of A2A's aircraft, but I found flying in FSX is like flying a brick. The only reason I stayed with FSX for as long as I did was for the eye-candy. About a year ago I posted on the FTX forums asking if they were going to do any scenery for XPlane, the answer was "we are a FSX ONLY developer", I saw recently someone else also ask this question and the thread was locked shortly after and then removed. I find it funny that most people are looking for realistic flight, but they aren't willing to give XP a real try, the don't like the GUI so they stop. I think for most FSX people it's all about the eye-candy. Anyway, I feel your pain trying to convince someone that XP is GOOD, and with XPX I feel it's better. Looking forward to my disks getting here so I can really enjoy the efforts of Laminar! ed

Have a Great Birthday Jim!!!

The thing I find funny is: First it's a Beta Version (another word for work in progress) , so why are SOOOO many people trying to run this full tilt. Go with the flow... this SIM rocks!

Thank you very much Tom. I figure I'll start like this before attempting to create assets with the other tools. ed

Hello Tom, I'm interested in adding smaller airports with the Library Assets, will this be roughly the same as using OE? Sorry for the noob question.

Congrats Tom & Team! Looking forward to an exciting 2012!

Enough Celebrating... we want it now... Keep up the great work Pete!

Nicola, Thanks for all your hard work on this awesome machine! Having a blast thanks for the paints & mods.

Like ANYTHING new, you just have to spend a little time to get use to it. I for one hope they DON'T change it.

Interesting... Thanks Kesomir!

Fantastic Pete! Can't wait to fly it.

Another great plane coming! Thanks for the info!

R22 & Traffic!

Funny how over the years I have heard a lot of people complaining about bad scenery & aircraft, they want this, they want that, then they get it and still complain. I guess you just can't please the masses. The thing that has made me stick with XP, was the fact that it is continually growing, and you didn't need to tweak the hell out of it to enjoy it. The more "Big-Boys" the more quality to choose from. Just my 2 cents worth.

I stand corrected Tom, by All I was meaning what I could find. X-Pilot, Avsim and Areosoft forums. X-Plane.Org is pretty pathetic I agree, they should have been all over this. Anyway, I for one am very excited for this release!

All the makings of a Must-Have! Looking great Pete!

I like everyone else here has been following ALL the forums & posts offering views of what's to come in XP10, and like everyone else I'm truly amazed at what I'm seeing. LM & Team have really stepped up the game. The thing I find really funny is how the "die-hard" FSX users are descending on these posts, and even these guys are mostly amazed at what's to come. I believe X-Plane will be the "Cream of the Crop" this coming year, no other sim out of the box looks anything like what I've seen. And the high-end aircraft that's been scheduled already for release is the Cherry on Top. This update will now force some developers to "Up their game"! It's all been worth the wait in my book! LM & Team... you have built it... and they are coming! Great Job!
