    Took my first complete flight in X-Plane tonight. Flew a Piper Comanche from Fulton County, NY (NY0) to Glens Falls, NY (KGFL) by VOR. I'm starting to get used to X-Plane.

    Nice Commanche Jim.

    In case you didnt know, you can adjust the distance of visual out farther. I have mine set pretty far. Supposedly it effects framerates (as I get a warning message that it will), but not enough for the sim to get jittery.

    It WAS a nice Comanche. I just landed at Oneonta Municipal airport. All was going so well. Flaps down, landing lights on.....just one small problem....I forgot to put the gear down!

    I have noticed that I can set up the eye candy Maxed out for the most part, then start flying and the game looks and runs amazing for the first 5 minutes and then I get the dreaded fog effect that shuts down my visiblity to a couple miles or so. What the frak? I have 6gigs of ram (no page file set) Q9450@3.6, and a 8800gt vid card.

    This is on version 9.3b, any know any tricks to get the most out of my system? I also noticed that this game uses more ram than FSX while running, but only 2 cores are really being used on my processor.

    I'm spending more time with X-Plane and getting accustomed to it. I tried real world weather last night and it's way better than FSX. The rain and snow effects are fantastic.

    The biggest downfall I see so far is that the ATC is terrible. As bad as FSX ATC is, it's far and above what X-Plane has at the moment. The other downfalls are lack of AI and detailed airports.

    X-Plane 9.3 beta 5 has been released : http://www.x-plane.com/beta.html :woot:

    It has a few neat tweaks from beta 4. I wish I was off work right now to try it.

    I agree. They (XP) need to do some real voices. It would really add some realism there.

    I found out (after buying my iMac) that Apple is big on electronic voices. Apple has auto-reading features for all texts, such as internet, PDF, Docs, etc. You even have a choice of voices for the computer, perhaps 12 of them, lol.. I think thats where XP got that part from.

    Lets hope it changes soon.

    I tried it. I like it. My Sim computer is defunct, so when I get the scratch to buy my new system, I will be installing XP9 as well as FS9 and FSX.
