Agg Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 So, I took a chance and got XP10, but the default aircraft are pretty much crap, what aircraft and other mods should I get? And is there any way to stop the aircraft from feeling like rc-planes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
636_Castle Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Some night shots with a Bldg mod a forum member made for Seattle (pics) Looks nothing like Seattle, with the exception of Elliot Bay, and the highways are relatively in the same areas. Don't get me wrong, X-Plane is great, and I'm not knocking it. But I won't be picking it up unless they commit to scenery. A problem that plagued X-Plane 9. Not a single one of those builds are authentic to Seattle, nor are there any representative landmarks. The day I'm able to fly high quality aircraft with intuitive views, popup panels, and accurate avionics, in a world that has been recreated to the LOD of MS Flight Simulator, landing at airports that have accurate lighting, building placement, runway markings, and taxiways, surrounded by intelligent AI, running Active Sky to get me my weather, and a large community out there supporting the sim, like PMDG, Aerosoft, AVSIM, Quality Wings, and Level-D, that will be the day I'll invest real money and time into X-Plane.

Phantom88 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Not sure if this has been posted,This is one of the best features of X-Plane 10 right now,The Night Lighting. Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trident Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Yes, the night lighting in XP10 is definitely industry-leading with respect to flight sims, here's hoping EDGE will bring similar capabilities to the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yskonyn Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Quick question: Can anyone get the throttle working right in this sim ? Iam using an x52 , I configure my throttle to be ... the throttle At 50% is is idle , at 100% is is full power and at 0% it is 100% full power ??? any ideas ? Just tick the 'reverse' checkbox next to the axis in the control panel.

And is there any way to stop the aircraft from feeling like rc-planes? Try The Baron 58 or the Beechcraft C90.They seem to be pretty nice.I had to turn down wind and Tulbulance in the settings as I feel they're a little to strong for my liking.That may help you also.

galagamo Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Nope no difference :( weird problem so to recap 0% = 100 full power 50% = idle 100% = 100 full power Any other X52 users have this issue (x52 not pro) My (X52 not pro) is working like it should with XPX.

The problem is that everyone expects everything to be perfect right now. Nobody places value on the fact that x-Plane does many things better already, and that it's still being developed. If everyone says what you did, it'll never get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalnwood Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Yep that is the impression I get , anyway of changing this ? Iam checking the engine rpm counter when verifying what is happening Lol just tested this again trying the small slider on throttle 0%=100% full power ....... reverse, plane moves backwards 50%=idle no power 100%=100% Full power ... forward Iam assuming real planes do not have reverse on their throttles ? I was about to write this, its usually reverse at zero. Very annoying on approaches when you are trying to get a glideslops and you got to idle it a bit only to hit reverse! I never got it fixed so I only flew a f33 single engine from then on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does seem to do some things better but then austin in his arrogance seem to place little importance on things that a vast number of fsx users take for granted and want.

How is the slider moving in the axis assign page? Because reverse throttle doesn't any make sense, you just have to idle, engage the thrust reversers and apply forward thrust again.

RogueRunner Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Another beta is out,seems very stable,Some pics of The Dutchess around Seattle. My Seattle does not have the highrise buildings but settings are pretty much maxed out. Anything I miss somewhere or did they come with the new update. With the price of ammunition these days do not expect a warning shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aaron886 Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Looks incredible. (And probably flies even better.) FSX fanboys can keep denying it. Really not sure how you can complain about the terrain and road net, especially seeing as it's vanilla... but whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
213 Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 the complaints are hilarious because microsoft flight's terrain looks horrendous compared to x-plane 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jona33 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 the complaints are hilarious because microsoft flight's terrain looks horrendous compared to x-plane 10. And they've simulated more than a square half mile. Terrain looks pretty nice actually. Always remember.
