Hi Samuel

Yea, I agree that X-plane feels very fluid and smooth because it
has simplistic scenery and I don't care about that. And most of all
the instrument display rate is truly awsome, very smooth. I've tried
the V7.0 demo and dicided to order it but hasn't arrived yet. The
only downside is that it lacks the ability to model a type-specific
aircraft like complicated switchology to control various systems,
various types of EFIS displays and FMCs, multipanels... for now
aircraft panels look quite generic, but it has a long way to go
thought.

happy flyin :-)

I saw This simulator being shown on Screen Savers and purchased it the
same day. For 50.00 I wanted to compare it to MSFS 2002. After flying
a while I can honestly say the flight Dynamics are much better in
X-plane and that this sim would be great for engineers wanting to try
out there ideas for plane construction. A part I am not familiar with
at all not being an engineer or know too much physics. but the part I
did try the sim itself with all the planes was good. The ONLY Downside
to this sim is that I wish it had better scenery. HOUSES... Landmarks
etc..but like I said it's more of a teaching tool and flight sim than
a flight sim game.
If you like all the eye candy that MSFS Has stick with that ...
If your a plane builder / engineer and want to test out and try your
ideas buy x-plane.
