VH-KDK Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Bournemouth is now complete. Wessex Way and Queens Park golf course are under the Baron but more importantly the Vitality Stadium is now present. The home of EPL club AFC Bournemouth can be seen under the port wing. Holy geez this is good but so much for me to learn getting to know XP-11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodger Pettichord Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Hey VH-KDK. Very nice shot that leads me to ask in all seriousness -- is it that hard to go from FSX to X-Plane? I love the X-Plane screenshots but the task of learning a whole new system scares the pants off me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do it Rodger, I have an old system but I am getting pleasing results and I am wondering just how good X-Plane must be running it on a com with the recommended specs. We are never too old to learn and if I can do it...…….. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lauriebe Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Nice one Martin. Rodger, as Martin says, go for it. I run both FSX and XP11 on a medium spec machine. Pleased with the reults. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure pedels and yoke might take some time setting up but once it's all set , your good to go . John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingleaf Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Great shots Martyn. I used to have X plane 9. Liked it very much once I figured it out which was pretty involved.. Gosh it' tempting. Seeing these pictures makes you wanna switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olderndirt Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Martyn - that's an incredible shot. Having looked at Orbx scenery on all available platforms, it looks best on XPlane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John I have never had to set up the controls but I did make a hash of trying to change control functions but I was able to reset it to default and now all is well. It was very easy to calibrate the yoke and pedals. There are some very handy videos (embedded in the mxnuel) as well as the mxnuel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lifejogger Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 I may have to bite the bullet and pay for XP11, just when you think you getting the hang of it the demo shuts down and you have to start all over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frustrating isn't it John. I think it might be why they did it, just enough to tempt us! Once TEGBS is added it is money well spent IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was originally from close to Guildford (Effingham) but lived in Bournemouth from 1966 to 1975. Needless to say I will be doing a lot of flying around these areas.
