Could I just ask, which addons are you using.

The plane is the Sequoia F.8L Falco from X-Scenery.com.

Sceneries have been made with OpenStreetMap, and free open-source tools like OSM2XP (3D buildings, forests, objects) + XPOSM (roads, power lines, railways) + G2XPL (ground textures).

Start here: http://osm2xp.com/

Happy flying !

Ok. I'm confused. XP10 already uses OSM. What makes this different?

X-Plane 10 only uses OSM for coastlines, rivers, roads, railways, power-lines:

I'm using OSM2XP to import OpenStreetMap buildings, forests, objects (wind turbines, water towers, lighthouses...).

Happy flying !

X-Plane 10: no shadows inside the cockpit in X-Plane 9.

Ridiculously awesome. This beats any MSFS. Shame I can't get it, due to HDD limitations (222GB, 200 full already). Maybe this could be what spurs me to get another HDD.

Thank you for the comment. A future version of OSM2XP may be able to export OpenStreetMap objects (lighthouses, water towers, wind turbines...) to MSFS, but it's still a work in progress:

If you want everything, sharp ground textures, cloud and cockpit shadows, objects and buildings and forests everywhere, roads and railways with traffic, then just use X-Plane. The free demo is available here:

Happy flying !

I have very similar PC spec to you and after trying the XPlane 10 demo I was getting 10fps with the default graphic settings so I would look at a quad core or something similar before buying the game. XP9 runs ok so im hoping I can make scenery for that and use it later in XP10.
