I've had X-Plane for a while but it never ran that great with my suckish graphics card, now that I have the new one, it runs great!
Just noticed, they're all silhouettes, I'll post more later.

Wow! Looks like X-Plane has a future! Look at the realism in the scenery.

The ground looks nice, but I don't like the way X-Plane controls - doesn't feel realistic. But still, maybe a future for it.

If they can do something about the flight dynamics, maybe it will have a future. Cheesy

Yeah, I still am biased towards MSFS, though.
Too bad the monkeys in suits over at Microsoft closed Aces.

Yup, everything's default.

I actually hear some great things about certain addons for X-Plane with regards to flight dynamics. They are even coming out with CRJ that is expected to have the quality and accuracy of the PMDG caliber. With REX coming out for X-Plane as well, I think the sim is having quite a future ahead.

Its a pretty darn versatile sim. There are tools to port MSFS (both FSX and FS9) scenery into X-Plane now. All that is left is to see some (more) quality aircraft. I might even consider try my hands at building such aircraft in the future

.

Nice shots by the way.

Cheers,
RB

Yup, there's even an FAA certified version of it Cool
