213 Posted January 3, 2012 Posted January 3, 2012 Yeah I can see the cartoony style might not work for everybody :). what do you mean? this looks photoreal, much better than fsx.
element1108 Posted January 3, 2012 Posted January 3, 2012 what do you mean? this looks photoreal, much better than fsx. I should have used quotations as "cartoony" wasn't my interpretation of the graphics. I forget who (too lazy go see who I was responding to in that post) but I'v decided a long time ago never to debate graphic in sims with people. Too many different expectations and perceptions. I think the graphics are perfect for a civil sim with that much terrain data. :)
elchacal Posted January 3, 2012 Posted January 3, 2012 It looks very good! :thumbup: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Yskonyn Posted January 3, 2012 Posted January 3, 2012 Indeed it does. X-Plane v8 still had the 'cartoony' graphics with solid textured windows on airplanes and such, but 10 looks realistic. Especially the scenery and weather looks ultra realistic when looked at from up above. Job very well done. Now if there will be some serious addon developers making high quality stuff for X-plane just like they did for MSFS we could have a real winner. So far, MS Flight looks like it will be a very low-entry level game rather than a sim to appeal to a mass market.

Yskonyn Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 Yes, JRollon really makes some sweet stuff for X-Plane. I hope many others will find the inspiration and go the same route.

bartleby Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 The recent news about MS Flight just prompted one more XP10 order. Looking forward to getting it. DCS Wiki! :book:
aaron886 Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 The recent news about MS Flight just prompted one more XP10 order. Looking forward to getting it. I can see this becoming more and more common. X-plane needs great multiplayer code, and it needs it now.
metalnwood Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 My X-Plane 10 arrived today! The maker(s) claim that this features an adventure creation and playing suite for XPlane, just like the Adventures in FS were. Does anyone of you have any experience with it? Is it easy to use? Are there (better) alternatives for getting more interactive tasks in Xplane? I have heard that you can get FSEconomy going in xplane.
metalnwood Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 The recent news about MS Flight just prompted one more XP10 order. Looking forward to getting it. I bought it but I am not happy enough to use it as my primary civ sim, its just to barren and my part of the world has nothing populated, its like flying over what it must have been like 100 years ago. There is just too much work required on my part to trawl through freeware to spruce it up and there doesnt seem to be much freeware for my area anyway - or payware for that matter.

That's every area, except Seattle, regarding out-of-the-box X-plane unfortunately. It will get a bit better with the main airports over time with patches, Austin and his crew promised, but other than that we will need to rely on modders or third party devs. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Asus Z390-E, 32GB Crucial Ballistix 2400Mhz, Intel i7 9700K 5.0Ghz, Asus GTX1080 8GB, SoundBlaster AE-5, G15, Streamdeck, DSD Flight, TM Warthog, VirPil BRD, MFG Crosswind CAM5, TrackIR 5, KW-908 Jetseat, Win 10 64-bit ”Pilots do not get paid for what they do daily, but they get paid for what they are capable of doing.

Thanks, I see that is the case for quite some time already. http://x-plane.hu/x-economy/ It lists as Xplane 8 and 9 compatible, but I will try it today and see if it works in XP10 as well. Should be fun.

Phantom88 Posted January 7, 2012 Posted January 7, 2012 The very Talented X-Plane community are making great strides in advancement of City's and lighting that are admittedly lacking in X-Plane 10. Patrick
Yskonyn Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 Cool stuff Phantom. Do you have a link for those interested? I would love to upgrade my cities in X-plane! ;) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Asus Z390-E, 32GB Crucial Ballistix 2400Mhz, Intel i7 9700K 5.0Ghz, Asus GTX1080 8GB, SoundBlaster AE-5, G15, Streamdeck, DSD Flight, TM Warthog, VirPil BRD, MFG Crosswind CAM5, TrackIR 5, KW-908 Jetseat, Win 10 64-bit ”Pilots do not get paid for what they do daily, but they get paid for what they are capable of doing.
