    I have all kinds of fun with X-plane9. Im about one third way complete with my cuba scenery and have successfully converted some FSX scenery to X-plane. It definatley a intresting Sim from a R+D standpoint. I'm keeping her installed as my third sim. Nothing beats the winter blues by having Fs9, FSX, X-plane. I just wish there was a way to port over FSX AC to X-plane. I'd be having a fun time with the Epic Lt.

    Trans,

    What are you using to compile your work into XP9? I would be interested to know. I heard that I need Blender to compile to XP9 format. That would mean making a mesh export that would somehow get into Blender.

    Also, can you make textures 2048 in size? This would enable me to put 4 textures per sheet and might enable this FS to XP9 thing to happen, keeping map/graphics quality up there.

    Can you show us some screenshots of your FSX scenery in XP9? I would like to see this.

    They could sure use some planes over there. I see Aerosoft are now making addons for XP9.

    umm.... what is ESP? Is it just a development tool? Are there actual FS and/or devices in the market?

    I too joined the X-plane forum and they are also a very friendly/helpful bunch. I saw a thread there about wake turbulence and asked if your own wake turbulence is modelled and thus can be "felt" in a steep turn. Apparently, this is not done in XP9. is this done in FSX?

    ESP is, indeed, a development platform. Put simplistically, it is the "back office" of FSX, allowing a developer more control over what functionality they put on top. It's a base rather than a fully functional simulator and there was a joke flying around earlier in its life that the only thing you couldn't do with it was scuba diving simulator...

    ...at this version anyway.

    Wake turbulence is not included by default in any version of MSFS, the same as XP9. There are, however, tools available such as ActiveSky X which include the addition of wake turbulence as part of their new toys.

    By the way, I found out at the AVSIM X-Plane forum that you can zoom out from the VC panel. Simply go to Settings / Renderings / and set view degrees from 45 degrees out to about 70 degrees and Voila..




    I am happy. That has been the one thing that I havent cared for about XP9 and the adjustment was there the entire time. I now have most of my joystick X45 Saitek buttons linked into the system, so I am going from VC to 2D to Spot Plane, trimming, etc, with ease....
