In X-Plane 11 I used ortho photoreal, it was needed due to the fact that XP11 had that cookie cutter tile look to it. XP12 has an ortho feel to it, I'm not that much in a hurry to swap it out just yet. I planed on having XP11 ZL 18/19 for the entire United States, started this back in 2021.

Hi, Not sure what you are seeing, these are my dusk shots. One the sun just above the horizon and one when it has just set with views looking 180* view. I don't see a very black sky with lines over the ocean. Could this be a result of video drivers or settings? Have a good one.

Hi, The sun in real life and in your XP-12 beta shot. The sun needs some tweaking, but it's still in beta! Then there are always 3rd party addons if one prefers a different look.

Hi, In X-Plane 12 there are thousands of airports that have been custom built, uploaded into the gateway and are now included in XP12 default platform. Up-to-date airports are a must have for as close to real as one can get to its real life counterpart. Will XP11 lose compatibility with the gateway going forward? How long before things become outdated in 11? I cannot see how one could recommend XP11 platform when XP12 is out in beta. Only time I can see this to be true is if one does not have the hardware to run Vulkan/Metal. Side note: XP12 ground tiles give the impression of ortho and do not have that cookie cutter look to them. Here are a few cloud shots. All that is left is the sunset and if that is your complaint in the photos, keep in mind this is still in beta.

Hi, How about you compare these XP12 beta screen grabs to the beta screen grabs of XP11 and tell me there have been no improvements. If you are mainly interested in recreating real life conditions then going from XP11 2D clouds to 3D clouds in XP12 is all that is needed for a MAJOR improvement, not to mention the new weather induction system and forget the eye candy. A small section of the 4K views I get to see, not blurry. But then again I have a EVGA FTW 3090 board running each display.

Hi, One is entitled to their opinion, and you are entitled to yours. Mine are based on real world, real life flying in the New York area. X-Plane 12 is FAR superior to X-Plane 11 and that is my opinion based on real world flying. As far as simulation, been flying since before the internet and I have jumped from platform to platform, from Microsoft to Lockheed to X-Plane. I'm only interested in MY flightsim experience and will go where the best platform will take me, right now that is X-Plane 12 second to NONE. Your no improvements statement is another opinion and I disagree 100% For others looking at these photos, keep in mind YOU are looking at a reduced image "flightsim.com" rules and regs! only allow me to upload at 1600x1200 where I get to see this at 4K! I'll upload some images from various locations showing just how non blurry X-Plane is on my setup. I'll take my 4K images and overlay them into 1600x1200 shots without reducing them.

Hi, I'm 14.9 miles out of KLGB rwy 30, descending from 4000 to 1600 (guney).

Hi, I agree hevhead, there is a tremendous difference between 11 and 12. AS stated numerous times, the blurry textures is due to not enough gpu memory and the fact that this beta hasn't been tuned for performance just yet! X-Plan11 has now been removed from my computers, won't be going back! All I need to do to see the difference and it's B I G! Run XP11 on my right and left screens and run XP12 in the center. There is no comparison between the two visually!

Hi Everybody, With better pushback up and running I can all but say goodbye to X-Plane 11. She has served me well over the years and now it's time for X-Plane 12 to deliver that flight sim goodness going forward. Manual Edit of Better Pushback for auto disconnect.

Hi, I have four copies running on my network and none of them have had to be re-registered.

Hi, I'm sure once all the major crashes, issues have been addressed they'll move on to optimization and fixing the blurry textures.

Hi, Not sure how some of you come up with the idea that this is not much of an update. 1. New weather injection system. 2. 3D Trees that are animated. 3. 3D Clouds 4. New buildings that have driveways and walk paths to the front door. 5. A new airliner. 6. Better physics and the list goes on and on. AND this is still a BETA product.

Hi, Nope, I'm not disappointed at all... as a matter of fact, I'm impressed with the fact that this is just the first beta. It looks great!
