PatrickZ 300 Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 I agree with you Sven, it's the lack of a good GUI that keeps me from changing to X-plane. I mean, if you start FSX you get a nice screen where you can easily set all the options you like. You can select your aircraft, starting airport, weather options, etc. And that all before you start flying. That's what X-plane needs! After all, if you start X-plane you suddenly are in the cockpit and you have to figure things out by yourself. It's just not easy. Of course the world environment looks better in default X-Plane than it does in FSX, Mathijs is right about that. It does look good with add-ons. Only thing is, I got those add-ons anyway. They're the first things I install after installing FSX. If I look at the pictures above, that's what my FSX looks like after installing those add-ons. I've heard that Prepar3D has an even better GUI than FSX (haven't tried it yet), so that increases the chance that P3D will be the future for me. Clearly, X-plane has good in-flight graphics but it lacks on many other points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSalden 43 Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 What is the resolution of the groun textures og XPlane 10. Many screenshots at several site I have seen look like it is 4.75mp.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MdMax 74 Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 What is the resolution of the groun textures og XPlane 10. Many screenshots at several site I have seen look like it is 4.75mp.. Do you mean the resolution of default ground textures, or the best resolution you can get with add-ons in X-Plane ? I don't know how much it is, but I guess it's more than 4.75 meters per pixel. Now is "more" really useful for flight simulation ? Happy flying ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain13chris 52 Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 BTW: Xplane 10's next update will give it a starting screen like MSFS has. But I wouldn't count on it being nice looking... To me, it's better than what we have now though. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindbergh72 74 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Wonder if XP10 will have better joystick settings or a easy way to do so. I can get my joystick (saitek X52) to work in the demo :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
