casey jones Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 I was very impressed with the early planes of the X-planes they are beautiful, for example the Douglas Mail Plane just beautiful it gives me the impression that people in the FSX world have no idea of the Douglas Mail Plane of 1922 or have no interest except tube liners which have no personality and all look alike. I flew on the first Boeing 707 Pan Am to Paris in 1959, I was with my mother on flight to Miami when I looked out the at one of the engines on our C-54 Eastern Air lines and it was smoking and the propeller was feathered. I guess shaped my interest in the planes of the late 1940s and 1950s. X-Plane is a nice platform with dedicated people just like FSX, looking at their design for the DC-3/C47 they don'nt seem to have a structure for the plane like we do for paints all you do is DL the folder and put the paint folder into the main folder iy appears much simpler then this abortion created by MS where I have corrected re-paints that I can count on both hands I received Mr Milton Shupe's help in trying to fix these things. This is just an observation but I will stay with FSX at near 80 yrs old I am not abot to start again. Thanks Casey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flytv1 Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Hi Casey. I think that if you can run FSX in 4K you can get just as good a visuals as in XPlane or even Assobo, if you can add Ortho you will never miss any of them, at least I don't.
