Great shots! Beautiful scenery! Is the P92 worth buying? I might buy it, but there hasn't been any reviews of it, and I'm not prepared to go throwing my *little* cash around!

So I just bought Nils Danielsson's Hawker Hurricane, and I have to say that I am thoroughly impressed. I heard about the two day 10 dollar off sale, and used my 5 dollar discount from when I bought V9 and bought this plane for only 9 bucks! Anyways, one of the best add-ons for X-Plane: (Click for larger image) And 2 others I thought I'd throw in there: (Click for larger image) A beutiful flight on vatsim from KLAX (hugh! Traffic there is HEAVY! ) to KVNY about 18 nm away. Takeoff in the mighty K-7.

Very impressive! Do you plan on doing Canada?

Ok, then that's good. I was told by Javier the price range would be around 70$. But that's that then. Thanks for clearing that up!

Actually, I contacted Javier already. It states on my e-mail and on multiple forums that the price range for this craft will be $65 - $75. It's a price fit and reasonable to the CRJ-200 here, but for me, being 13, it is hard to get my hands on cash. So for me, the price is a tad bit high, but I'l save up the money.

Insane work! I think the high price will be well worth it!

For future reference, please PM me, and I will see to it that the link you want added is entered into the post. I will give credit in the description too. Thanks! - Jman

Beautiful selection of music, and great effects!

Here are a few programs that you can use to enhance the X-Plane experience with fps! 1: CPU: (DBoost is free) A GUI for the Renice command. What this does, is prioritize applications in the amount of CPU Cycles they get. DBoost (when running X-Plane) will run a renice command prioritizing X-Plane high; which will give X-Plane more CPU Cycles, thus allowing a higher frame rate in X-Plane. Available here: http://mac.softpedia.com/progDownload/DBoost-Download-5989.html 2: RAM: (iFree mem is 10 Pounds) A simple app that you can run before X-Plane that will free up plenty of ram, allowing more ram to be used in X-Plane. The result? Well, more fps! (Frame Per Second) Available here: http://www.activata.co.uk/ifreemem/ 3: GPU: (Secrets is free) This app is a bit different than the other two apps. This app has a feature that you can enable in it called "quartz extreme 2d" and "Quartz GL" These features enable some software that Apple has included with all macs. The only reason it's not used, is because it's buggy with certain software. I find that it works well in X-Plane, and increases fps by about 10 - 14 fps. USE CAUTION WITH THIS SOFTWARE, IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING, IT CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS TO YOUR SYSTEM! Available here: http://code.google.com/p/blacktree-secrets/downloads/list Note: This app can be used to access multiple other features in OSX as well. Hopefully this has helped some of you in your toil to find greater frames per second in X-Plane without spending 1000's of dollars! Happy landings - Jman

Ok, I run boot-camp on my iMac, and it runs Vista. Because Vista has newer ATI Drivers, and Direct X 10, I can run X-Plane 9 nearly maxed out and get around 30 - 90 fps depending on weather and location. The reason it runs so slow for me on OSX 10.5.6 is because the last ATI Drivers for my card were released in 2005! I am going to switch to Vista for X-Plane over the long weekend. On the same settings: Vista: 30 - 90 OSX: 5 - 30

So I just had a question: I bought a late 2007 iMac (2.8ghz duo core 2gb RAM ATI Mobility Radeon pro 256 mb VRAM 4mb l4 cache) but it seems that it simply isn't cut up to handle X-Plane. I can run X-Plane on windows XP at extremely high fps, but some planes don't work. Does anybody know of any software or anything of the sort that may speed up X-Plane? Otherwise, I may switch my boot camp to Win XP and run it on that. Thanks! - Jman

Is it just me, or did X-Plane productivity just skyrocket 500%?
