* Situations allow for doing things like: I landed a Cessna on one.Īlthough the stationary people on the flight deck, make it look like an episode of "Thomas the Tank Engine". * Aircraft carrier landings are fun, you can render these randomly and when you get close, the ATC talks you in. * Textures and modelling of aircraft is very detailed, with lighting and things such as wing flexing and landing gear flexing. * Map shows navigation roses for your aircraft and airports, but appears to be limited only the local map tiles. If you want, switch on/off the no-smoking and seat beat signs. Walking past 1st class, down the stairs into the other passenger seats. * Virtual cockpit in 747 isn't confined to cockpit, you can put plane into auto-pilot (or allow plane to fly itself using AI) then jump out of your cockpit, open the cockpit door and take a walk through the interior of the plane. * As promoted by Austin Meyers, clouds are rendered with individual lighting making for a very realistic experience. No ability to talk to anywhere at anytime.Ĭloser to the real-world, so no auto-tuning of NAV, ADF frequencies, has to be done manually. * ATC is limited to working in conjuction with a flight plan. * Roads are mapped to REAL world, so I can follow the route of roads in * Auto-generated 3D scenery is great with moving cars/trucks, birds, deer Ground texture on the landing lights is great. So each street light switches on at dusk, as you fly over you really do see a sea of lights from a town. But the best thing is that every light is an individual source. Watching the light fade in the evening with coloration of everything from clouds, auto generated scenery to your aircraft.
* Map covers entire world, so can zoom out to see anywhere. * Virtual cockpit in 747 is confined to cockpit
* Fantanstic ATC for VFR and IFR flying, can talk to anywhere at anytime. What I have is FSX with VFR scenery in the North of England, UK. I'll leave that up to the experts out there.
I can't vouch for either a as real world pilot, as I'm a 'wannabe' pilot with only half-an-hour at the cockpit of a real aircraft. Having just purchased X-Plane 10, thought I'd take this opportunity to share my findings so far, in comparison to FSX. I've been using FSX for quite a while, and before that FS2004.
