Re: Has Anyone had experience with X-Plane?

[John Westerlage]

Good grief!

I've just looked at Bruce's website. That has made up my mind. MSFS
it is.

Thanks for sharing that, Bruce. I wish more people would speak up
like this when they've been done wrong.

I would take Bruce's web site with a HUGH grain of salt. I read it all,
and

1) it does NOT reflect my experiences with X-Plane, and

2) just reading the site, it seems to as if Bruce is the one in need of
help, both tech help with x-plane, and some help in how to interact with
people.

Just my observations.

i've tried x-plane, and decided not to buy it. i don't know how good the
flight model is, but it offers nothing in terms of systems simulation
(in airliners). as a PS1 user that's a MAJOR turnoff for me.
