I refuse to give up on reality.

Heck, I think you guys should stop what you’re doing and switch to an r, theta, phi coordinate system.

seriously, think about it.

(keep up the good work)

Just one question regarding XP10… are runway markings separate from the asphalt/concrete/etc. textures, so that they can be scaled accurately at different runway sizes now?

O boy, of course this post was meant as a joke. Nobody can make such changes to the laws of nature of the real world, like Ben proposed (although humanity is indeed working hard to prove otherwise)...

Ben, thanks for a good laugh! :-)

no all that informations are scaring me:

we are going back into uniformity nobody wants. The quality of X-PLANE is the best of all in reality performance. That seems to be an April-choke to simplify the world as you like it.
If this will be done I really stay with your old Version 9... which is very flexible in all scenery and airplane design.
Only three problems are really not solved
- Weather more realistic
- Satellite Scenery
- Roads to be altered by designers

Ben if you will continue like you proposed you will loose the value of a super realistic flight simulator and not only that, you will loose all your additional facilities like car and train simulators. Perhaps to use these ideas for i-phones I do not scare, but please not for the use in normal computers.

Plunio, I would like to request that the speed of sound be increased to perhaps 50,000 m/s. 🙂

Plunio (X-plane.it): How about to resolve the fighters fluttering over Mach 1,0? 🙂

Ben….I feel your pain. Austin opens the lid a crack and out comes the herd of worms. Thanks for even taking the time to read the forums and for participating in the feedback. The truth that most may not realize in their enthusiastic fervor is that you fellows have been listening to users for years. One just can't have everything all at the same time. Thanks for that, and thanks for the laugh…and hang in there. January is coming!
