Comments on: When is X-Plane 10 coming?!?!?! https:/2011/02/when-is-x-plane-10-coming/ Developer resources for the X-Plane flight simulator Tue, 17 May 2011 14:47:03 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.6.1 By: DR23913 https:/2011/02/when-is-x-plane-10-coming/#comment-2181 Mon, 16 May 2011 19:21:57 +0000 http://www.x-plane.com/blog/?p=3137#comment-2181 I’ve used both FSX and X-Plane 9 for several years. Before becoming a Private Pilot I had no idea about how these two sims compared to a real airplane. I can now say with absolute certainty that X-Plane has the better flight dynamics, but it is still only a simulator and doesn’t come close to flying the real thing. Both sims are ok for basic instrument training, but everything else pales in comparison to real flying.

Get a job and buy a new machine ! They are not that expensive.

Guys I am not sure what do you mean about simulators. All the mentioned things are at least price less for all serious pilots. It is really nice that people from Laminar Research are improving also graphical outfit of the x-plane, but in fact graphics is not the thing, that separates simulator and game. It’s all about physics, avionics and lot off other things that help us to prepare for real flight. If you want to get best scenery, effects and so on, please take a flight with real plane. Finally MSFX is a game. It has absolutely terrible physical simulation. A few months ago I’ve get my B-737 in MSFX to spin around wing axes at 90% of v-max. There is also lot of other issues with avionics. Primary target of any flight simulator is help for pilots to get ready for real flight. That’s the X-Plane.

Fully agree on that! X-Plane has so much potential but developers need to make time for advanced plane models and make a good build-in FMC for example, good 3D cockpits and so on. I really hope, this version will give that reality. But given the pictures of X-Plane 10, I’m afraid that the developers will (again) only focus on the scenery. XP10 should only be released when that reality is reached, even if it takes 1 year.

I’m curious!

Microsoft flight simulator is much farther. Major problem are planes, they are not developed enough to be used as simulator object. Scenery looks deadly no accurate colours and weather is unreal.
If developer team from x-plane really want a nice good simulator they must invest much more efforts and knowledge to transfer their game to simulator.
Good luck.

Just waiting for the new MS Flight Simulator to match it up!?…..well…lets hope that both will be a stunning simulator, because i will buy both if worth the money.

MS does state their product as a “game” and from the news I’ve read they’re looking to both keep FSX fans as well as targeting a more diverse community of people that include gamers.. for me X-Plane has never been a game (even though the fun factor is there) but the best and most realistic home simulator out there..
All I’m saying here is there’s no need for race when MS Flight isn’t a competitor.

I’m already happy with X-Plane 9, so happy that my app folder is 100gb+ big. Can’t wait to see the new features of v10 but if a few more months is needed to bring us a product that will keep us going for another few years, so be it!

Thank You Laminar Research!

Antoine.

PS: Would appreciate new eye candy and a release note with what to expect in v10 🙂

Commercially wise if I were you I would be in a hurry, as much as technology permits, to come out of this race first. Whoever comes out with the product first will reap many rewards and have a lead by far. Keep up the fine work you´ll doing but do remember this is competitive world….
Cheers
Gera

Yes, our users are _begging_ for an Itanium port. 😉 😉 😉

Or I could just clean up the allocation patterns of my quad tree. 🙂
