Closer than it was 6 months ago. You can also go back and read through posts saves repeating things,

Latest Gizmo is installed when you install your addons. There is no new one just yet far as I know.

Have no favourites, wouldnt buy them if I didnt like them. No particular order IXEG 737 Mu2 Saab 340 Laminar Cit X The embraers 175, 195 Can go on

@VirtualGAaviator Yes very good for first go the 560. Wish he'd just get over the realistic bit, maybe 90%, It was underpowered for 12, but he addressed that, fuel flow was too high, which is why i did so much flying, he's now got more realistic numbers. Getting involved gave me in site into plane maker, so discovered he'd left out the engine bypass ratio, Fixed that. Its now far to overpowered on take off, like way past teh plane maker spec, but that appears to be an xplane issue. Climbs well id suspect pretty close to spec. Also had issue with negative fuel flow on start up, that is addressed, than there was radio operation, couldnt monitor com 2 while com 1 was selected, even with com 2 speaker selected, thats hopefully being fixed in his final, had to do a dot point to explain. Mentioned doing teh Avitab interface for chocks etc, but kept going on about realism, so you cant remove chocks they disappear on start up, but they may go when staring APU must check that, otherwise you cant push back. Needs to be pressed on the Avitab thingy. Do like the GPU and having to connect battery bit. Also would have preferred the default FMS than a GPS but I think that might be too much for a first run. I think would get more buyers if it did. Flies well. Now waiting on final update.

Dont really blog, as you put it. Usually just trying to help others even if I get it wrong. XP12 has come so far, but hard to write anything good about it without some one trampling on it. Has some issues, mainly performance, VC gets a bit messed up when going from day to night and probably other way round, but other wise, really is huge leap over 11. Just need that little efficiency improvement to keep the FPS above 25, for the online flyers. Must get those last few hangers sorted in FACT so I can upload before next update.

Saw it right away, hence avoided the conversation.

So flying in xplane. Was doing some fuel testing for the 560xl. Nice plane for first attempt, but I think many would have preferred the default FMS than a GPS. Any way this was a few weeks ago. Flew YBBN Brisbane to YBCS Cairns. Could only go to 25000, winds where 105kts on the nose higher got worse really extended my flight time, lower didnt make it much better, bit of a compromise. After few days later flew YBCS to YSSY Sydney, 39000, winds where 90 kts from a tad S of E so wasnt too bad, longer distance but fuel burn abt same due to previous winds. A few days ago while working on FACT Capetown, I spawned to do some checks, spawned into a massive thunder storm and never seeing rain so heavy in xplane. Checking on you tube later I found out they where having floods. Certainly XP weather massive improvement. Cant wait to see what 0.06 brings.

You really are an angry man. Where did i say "me ". Besides everyone knows how you feel. Laminar where interviewed at expo. Said will be released in few days. Thats where thise cloud pics came from. It mentioned on there twitter page. As for the flying part, i have no need to respond to you. It wont be nice, very plain to see.

Wont change anything just be another xp12 topic shut down. Any ways, we wait for the interview, Why it needed to be delayed when he released all the others I dont know, unless he had some visuals to add.

May I ask what that post was all about?? Made no sense.

I have had like 2 crashes in xp12 both my fault. Not stable, not the consensus of most. Only thing it needs is some optimising to get a few extra FPS. But thats for the XP12 discussion

Yes every one bags XP, as i have said before, we have so many experts out there, im surprised we dont have a dozen other perfect sims. when xplane goes through these cycle, all developers can chat with Laminar as to whats going on, thats why they sometimes hold back, which i think is the case with the .06 update, Id be surprised if developers dont make up part of the testing team, they would be silly not to. Like any updates, one fixes the worst things first than get to the less important things later, thats what Laminar is doing. I be surprised that they are not aware of the XLUA and SSL issues. but some things arent as easy to fix as some would think. Im a patient person, I was born at a time where parents had nothing and we where given out of there poverty, so we appreciate everything we get. How things have changed. Back on topic. Lets wait see what Laminar brings up.

All the developers have input and in site into what Laminar is doing, there is no easy way to change the guts of a flight sim without problems, and since the only way forward is to get rid of legacy stuff that is holding the sim back, it was bound to cause pain, but for all the pain, we get a far superior sim. "Appalling", really?. We still have our biggest developers with us. Xplane isnt about pretty graphics, its teh underlying engime simulation and flight model tha tchanges as new things are discovered to make it more real, like N1 and N2 being separated in XP12 to make engine start ups more real, like aircon and gen now adding load to engine which causes it to run hotter etc, this is what makes this sim different from the rest. I doubt the complaints will ever end.

Thats why I left, it all sinks into the potty hole soon as you say anything good about xplane. Love XP12 cant wait to see what 0.06 brings in terms of performance , and ATC updates

I really dont think people have any idea of how much work goes into an airline, especially trying to replicate an FMS and flight system and all the idiosyncrasies that each have. Not like they are all the same. appreciate the work still my fav.

I have no idea what made you think I knew nothing, or wasnt learning, and the comments you made certainly did not lean to what you stated. And if you read my post, you would of seeing ive being doing this for a long time. I guess people are to busy fling and enjoying XPLAne whatever VER they fly or any other flightsim to post. Wonder what will be seeing and or announced this weekend.

Xplane 12 already is, but than you see, in a court, the lawyers for the defense like to discredit the witness, better than loosing the case. And since I am not in a court of law I dont need to defend myself. I wouldnt be here if I wasnt flying it, updating airports, doing beta testing for developers etc etc. FS9 FSX Xplane 9 10 11 and 12. Have a good day.

What has any of that got to do with anything. I dont know what it is that you seem to be so angry about. This isnt about flight simming is it???. Surprised this conversation still going.

Not so sure about that, considering you previous post. Have fun. Not sure what that has to do with flight simming

Id like to know where you get that from. Seems to ge getting newbies evety few dsys.

100% agree, than they loose interest because it gets boring, never the less. its still there opinion that got them to purchase it. Bright colors and pretty planes, I guess carenado must be making fortune over there.

See but that is just an opinion, for many like me, there is nothing like xp12, but that is my opinion. The only thing xplane12 needs right now is some optimisation, and next beta will bring some of that to us. Developers are still getting there heads around the inner workings which, with the demands of simmers, is getting quiet complex. We can sit and discuss opinions all day, in they end, they are all just opinions. The only thing that matters is filing in bug reports as required so things can be improved.

XP12 isnt anywhere near completion, so why do we need an XP13. As for MS sales. seems it is included in there gaming thingy. Dont know why it even needs to be discussed, you can have them both.

Yes its brought the best and worst out in people. Didnt ever think flying an aeroplane on a PC could do that.

Just flew the CRJ700, YBTL Townsville to YSSY sydney @FL330 in XP12. Winds 90kts 250deg not quiet on the nose. light buffeting, clouds rain on occasion, cloud where up to about 31000 ft, nice landing though I missed some steps, procedures, not sure bug me or both, but landed ok. Used ATC till halfway through, than canceled IFR so I could do my own ILS landing. Just enjoy the atmosphere. Never go back to 11, to much atmosphere in 12.
