renault Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Just playing around with XPlane 11. All screenshots are straight from the "V" key and I am using one consistent set of color rendering for all areas. It's not quite the spectacular "knock your socks off" color fidelity of MS2020, but for something which is now quite long in the tooth it's not to bad . I was pleased with it. It's pretty great to have two sims in the hanger that work well. And of course Orbx is the glue that keeps them both together Cheers Pete Cheers Pete TE GBS and Orbx Southampton This is one thing that I really miss in MS2020. XPlane does road traffic really , really well in my opinion. Boy am I glad I'm up here looking down and not down there looking up. Been there, done that many, many times and got the "T" shirt. I used to get a lot of grief from my office colleagues because I used to drive a really "clapped out" Renault Clio. But it had one huge advantage. It had an Automatic gearbox and this sort of thing was so, so much better with it. But alas, that was its only redeeming feature TE Florida Leaving Key West At Orbx Walter Sutton's Bet the "old boys" in the field never expected this !

John Mac Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Still using XP regularly with TEGB especially when MSFS decides to go all stuttery! You sure know how to show XP at its best. Excellent shots as usual!! John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks John. I appreciate it I have to politely disagree a bit though. Water in MS2020 is so close to the real thing for me that I almost think my face would get wet if I was too close to the screen But I do see what you mean. From altitude there's not a lot in it in terms of differences under certain lighting conditions at times Cheers Pete On 6/28/2021 at 12:21 AM, John Mac said: Still using XP regularly with TEGB especially when MSFS decides to go all stuttery!

Just my own opinion, but I think the the Win10 OS real time memory compression has some influence on this, but who really knows. That is one real advantage to the XboxX I feel. It is a known and consistent "sandbox" which should pretty much guarantee a similar level of performance for everyone. It will also make it much easier for Asobo to correct "bugs" and such.

Thanks Wayne With TE is is very good, without it "not so much" Cheers Pete 22 hours ago, adambar said: Great looking shots Pete, but I just can't go back to any other sim after MSFS. Thanks Adam What I enjoy most though it all the little "touches" that Orbx has added in the TE regions and airports. They blend together really well and for me it's what makes Xplane still a worthwhile time investment. But then I go back to MS2020, and suffer from "SJS" - sore jaw syndrome , from hitting the desk so often. MS2020 needs to have a big health warning attached to it Cheers Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
