you know there you can reduce the zoom factor in the graphics settings? you almost sit on the engine!

I see all these AI voices on videos now - can't xplane use the same tech. These voices are from like 10-20 years ago - no improvement. Aviation vocabulary is very limited - speech recognition shouldn't be too difficult. ATC interaction should be natural - speak and hear.

You sure do like HARD landings 😜

You mean default airport that comes with X-Plane right? Not super high quality freeware like SFD KBOS or Zero Dollar PANC? In general from pilot point of view or the amount of work and creativity from the artist? Very open ended question indeed :)

What? XP simulates the tides? Or is it just an add-on?

I like PAJN in Alaska (Juneau Airport). Terrible weather, mountains, water and an interesting approach onto 08.

As a fellow XPlaner and video producer, thumbs up for this. Good content, well filmed. My daughter recently started work at Bourneville making Creme Eggs.

Nice review, thanks for taking the time to produce this.

Thanks very much for the review sir, which I've only just found whilst joining CIX VFR Club. I will have a look at the Aeroprakt issue and see if there is anything I can do. I'm hoping to make this add-on more dynamic and extensive with a bit of programming, I will also update the manual re. the comment about picking the selecting camp version. Fatherofsam

Enjoyable thanks! Do the clam shell thrust reverses work? Wondering if this was an option to slow down etc or just on landing. Laurie NZ 😊

Greetings! I'm glad you enjoyed flying my little open-source jet! Note when you said the fuel was almost halfway to three quarters, that was only in the wing tanks. There are two wing tanks which hold up to 17.5 gallons of fuel each, and one center tank behind the pilot which holds up to 15 gallons, for a total of 50 gallons of fuel. The wing tanks feed into the center tank, and the center tank into the engine. So the wing tanks will empty out before the center tank does. The left gauge shows the total fuel in the wing tanks and the right gauge shows the fuel in the center tank. Try the EFIS version of the aircraft if you haven't already. It's a separate download. The EFIS version can be programmed with a flight plan which the autopilot will follow. Enjoy!

Helpful, thanks. I've been flying v12.1.3 for about 3 weeks and it appears improved, but still with odd features. IFR flights with the Zibo B737 have encountered some vectors to final that have seemed out of the way, and not consistent with what I know gets assigned (around KPHL for example). Flying the CARTR5 STAR to the ILS 24R at CYUL, ATC actually instructed a "descend and maintain 0 before reaching the IAF. Definitely still work in progress. (BTW, in the US, ATIS stands for Automatic Terminal Information Service. )

Cool thanks and wondering if you are using TrackIR for head tracking.? Laurie. NZ. 😊

Did you mean the vario audio? I could hear the wind noise ok. Laurie NZ. 😊

Love it one day i shall succeed a butter landing at St Barts! Can you tell me how you get the mini instruments at the top of the screen please - thanks

It's definitely better than xp11.. it's a work in progress.....I like using it with the plugin ,X Chatter

This was very cool to watch, so thank you. New sub too.

Man I can't get passed how awful those graphics are.

Oscar Mike Golf. That's great!

Interesting video. Thank you for sharing. I've never considered tinkering with a facade.

Very helpful and thanks!

Thats Not the default Look grafic wise right. Is it autho ortho?

For those wanting to try the same flight: Popham, Hampshire (EGHP) to Bembridge on the Isle of Wight (EGHJ)

Great videos, what other scenery software are you running ? Have you tried Lossless scaling software to boost frame rate ?

Never tried this. Will now give it a go. You would have failed an IFR checkride - ±100' 🙂 I know you like a low sun, and it is pretty, but very dull to watch for an hour...... Thanks for doing these videos.

I presume that was with Orbx TE. That was a low circuit 🙂

Cool thanks. I recall it always being very clear days there in real life. Laurie. NZ. 😊

Like you, I am flying the Cessna 172 Skyhawk and learning the basics of managing flaps, ailerons, rudder and the rest. At this point I am flying with zero wind and trying my best to take off on the center line and landing on it, too -- it ain't easy and I shuffly from left to right. I'm really enjoying X-Plane 12. I've sub'd, liked and will receive notifications of your future flights.

Bro , You were bi-cycling the rudder pedals on your take off run , If I'v not flown in a while , I chase the center line too !! lol !!

Sunsets and nights are so nice in X-Plane.

I own both Microsoft and XP- 12.. I've been doing flight simulation for about 25 years and I can proudly say that I enjoy both simulators for different reasons... Keep up the good work Austin!!

Would have been a laugh to see a landing speed plugin, but I guess those tundra tyres absorb the worst. Looks huge fun! Thanks. Going to download the scenery now 🙂

how did you get those flight instruments on top? Nice video!!

Thanks for flying ArkanSTOL and for showcasing my scenery! 'Driftwood' the tiny strip on the west is always moving, so unfortunately there are not any satellite imagery which contain it. As a result, I had to cut a hole in the 3D grass so that the runway could be seen, because geotiffs will cover up a grass runway in XP. You did better than a lot of folks who've never flown the course! Cheers!

Do you use something to look around like TrackIR ?

Great X-Plane 12 video of Robin DR401 flight. 🛩👍

Nice Scenery,thanks for the video. how did you display the flight instruments at the top of the screen?

Great video and flying. I've not flown in New Zealand but I'll give it a try after watching this. I'd like to ask how you get your flight instruments to appear on the screen when you're using an external camera please? Thank you.

Tricky airport for landing, you handled it well, I will try it one day , need lots of practice.

Why would anyone play xplane when they can play msfs?

I wish X-Plane had little more focus on the social and bush flying, like multiplayer, maybe even you could have a character to walkaround with, and have meet up in remote areas. 😌

20fps with FSX graphics hmmm. No thanks.

Hi the air port is free?

Just as well you got the Van's stopped in time, there are sharks swimming around that bay. I'm not joking, I saw them as I was checking out the new scenery in the Bell 412 😉

Really worse flying skill btw 🤣

I love seeing both of the windsocks on the hills when approaching runway 10...just like in the real world! Nice flying, mate.

It's too bad that Austin never really embraced scenery. Custom tiles for every occasion might have worked 20 years ago, but you will still need a gazillion of them before things look right. I am really disappointed with the jagged coastlines and the occasional spike on an island shore. I figure some of it is the batch processing isnt quite as advanced as MSFS's AI processing.

Microsoft has a Billion $$$ company behind it.. Not that it invests that much but X-Plane isn't bad for less that 20 employees

The map enhancer is the one causing those odd elevation issues. They are not compatible.
