Has anyone checked out X-Plane?

[TVC15]

I have been looking into the X Plane sim. Has anyone tried it out? How doe it compare to FSX?

[Flying Officer Jevans]

Never tried it. From what hear it seems to have the edge in some area, but lacks in others. I'd stick with FS, because of the greater support.

Could a moderator please move this to the X-Plane forum?

tried it, but not recently.
Was disappointed by the unrealistic panels and overall visuals.

Folks,

There is an X-Plane forum right here on FlightSim.com, and you can learn more about the strengths and weaknesses of FSX and X-Plane by visiting http://www.simpilotnet.com/index.php...&id=18&catid=7, which is a thread at SimPilotNet.com titled "Flight Dynamics: FSX And X-Plane Battle It Out"

and you think you'd get an unbiassed opinion from those X-Plane fanboyz

I have both X-Plane and MSFS. Been doing this for far too many years; but still prefer FSX/FS9 overall.

jwenting,

Christian Stock, owner/operator of SimPilotNet, is not an X-Plane Fanboy. Instead he's an FSX enthusiast and scenery developer, but the article is technically meritorious and reasonably balanced.

Just reading a few lines from that forum. Here's one dated June of 07.

quote: "Ok, let me say so: I flew real GA planes and have to say, that X-Plane is much more realistic than the MSFS."

Well, I fly real GA planes and have to say that MSFS is much more realistic than X-Plane!

If it wasn't so, I'd be an X-Plane "only" fanatic, since I own the product.

ladamson,

What's your point regarding the article?

I think that you must be reading the forum commentary that resulted from the article's having run, rather than the article itself, no? I'm a moderator there and I remember having to delete an over-the-top post by an X-Plane enthusiast (who later had to be banned from the site), but the rest of it seemed like simply informative, spirited debate -- a Ford versus Chevy kind of thing.
