Good FSX Teachings?

Okay.... so you guys may hate me for this.. whats the take on XPlane 10??

It uses multi core so it could run smoother.. and I am not sure if the addons are htere for it like FSX..

I bought it on deployment but didnt like it, but I only used it for a bit.. A) I was use to FSX and using the controls FSX offered (Like the keyboard shortcuts and ATC)

and B) the menus sucked.. I mean I coudlnt find anything.. and the amount of planes didnt seem to be there... I mean.. yeah.

But after looking at it it seems like it may be the better choice afterall?


EDIT: And for FSX, how much of a hit is PMDG 737 FPS wise??

Picked up X-plane 8 many years ago but really struggled with it after years of MSFS so shelved it. Potentially it's always seemed better though.

Quality of cockpit modules still does not compare, nor does quantity. The visuals in cockpits are inferior, imo.

What is your rig right now? And screen size? I also would say that for such cockpits, TrackIR is a must.

Asus G55V with 16gb of ram, and I run the screen at 1080 Res, 15 inch screen.

As far as Track IR goes, Im definitely getting it because I also wanted to get IL2 1942 and start playing that again and I def need Track IR for that puppy.

I googled a review for an Asus G55V. Sounds to me as if it could handle PMDG stuff, but dont take my word as a guarantee. Consider the new PMDG 777. Fly by wire, and rated as even surpassing the 737NGX. Google it. I wait for getting the FS fever again, then will probably buy it.Currently I only do Assetto Corsa, Skyrim,
VP4 and The Hunter.

VP4?? and how is the Hunter?? Still enjoying it?? I remember i had a bit of fun with the demo, but I hate subscription games really. The fact that I cant just buy it like the old Deer Hunters irks me. Wish I could just get DH4 to work on my system.

EDIT: The 777 is the newest Boeing right?? I recognize the wing shape, all lifted and such. Is it meant to replace the 737s as far as size goes?

VP4 = Virtual Pool 4. Brilliant simulation, brilliant.

Still enjoy The Hunter, though they currently have some server issues that cause some annoyances. Multiplayer has arrived months ago, and new reserves. The migrate to new servers now.

The 777 is much bigger than the 737. 737 is continental/medium-range, 777 is global/long-range flyer. The sim bases on tehcnology developed for 737, PMDG says, but goes beyond it. You can safely expect the same amount of technical excellence and in-depth-simulation of systems.

Good to hear, its unfortunate that recently I haven't gotten to play FSX I will pick it back up again here soon though!
