Greetings Froogle! As a real world MD-80 pilot (please see my KZbin page) I looked forward to this release for a long time. I must say it's about 90% perfect! I've started flying the 767 recently and now find myself flirting this more offer on xplane11. Just wanted to thank you for taking the time to do this videos! Keep up the good work!

Just watching your MD80 v1.3 update. I am undergoing a china flu variant, and what better way to suffer a miserable day than flt sim tut's. My comment is this. Having just found you, i can understand and follow you. Your explanation of gauges and switches, their location is succinct and simple. Your procedures (theirs) are something I can follow [compared to other nervous laughter presentations. I have only loaded X-plane 12 once so i look forward to more of your videos. Time marches on, so please don't stop your videos. I learn from them, to say nothing about enjoying your accent, and language. Are you a professional trainer/presenter? Thanks and many cheers. Alan

This is by far my favorite plane in XP 11. I purchased it about 2 weeks ago and have been flying every night on multiple flights. I am still trying to figure out the FMC or CDU. whatever you want to call it. But i have been successful in programming in waypoints and getting it to work in VNAV. For 60 dollars I was hesitant but it proved to be a good purchase. And it is easy on the frames for me even with 4k textures.

The exterior modeling, VC and texturing on this bird is superb.....but Leonardo's Fly the Maddog still takes the cake with systems modeling and flight dynamics. I'm curious to see how ATS's md80 holds up against the two. Time will tell (assuming they ever finish it). Nice to see developers are still focusing on the Maddog though.....it's certainly one of the most interesting tubeliners in operation at the moment.....it's a great combination of analog and digital system integration....not to mention it's one of the few planes out there that you still need to fly! Great video froogs......please keep up the 'fabulous' work.

Nice video and couldn't agree more with you regarding Ortho4XP and the amazing results it can give you! Started playing around with with XP11 myself after many years of FS and P3D and now that I got used to XP with its Ortho4XP plus many other things I'm not sure if I'll go back to P3D again. After spending thousands of hours in the NGX simulating real world ops as closely as possible I figured now that I'm enjoying XP maybe this is also the time to get myself a new aircraft and I then wanted a fun and fast one but still as realistic as possible. I think my choice of buying the Bombardier Challenger 300 was a good one but there's loads of stuff to get used to and learn being so used to the NGX. For this reason I would love to see this aircraft featured on your channel and a tutorial similar to this one would be awesome! Happy flying ☺️

Just one thing Froogle - when setting the fuel in X-Planes menu, you need to change it so you're only using the wing tanks. As you know, a plane doesn't get fueled equally 3 ways (left/center/right). Also, this can ruin the handling of the aircraft as developers tweak that to be correct for fuel in wings only (any extra fuel will still go in center tanks obviously). You can also use the boxes to input the EXACT amount of fuel, instead of using the cumbersome slider which makes it difficult to stop on the right value.

Hi Froogle, great video! I've been looking to get into XP11 for a while now. I've downloaded it and am beginning to tinker with it. You've mentioned on a couple of videos the use of OrthoXP, will you being doing any videos on how to use it? (apologies if you already have and i've missed it). Also, just wondered what the cloud and sky textures were that you were using? I'm not sure their stock, i cant get mine to look like that. Keep up the good work, really enjoy your channel!

This is just a personal opinion and without looking at what Q8Pilot has done i cant really judge but historically i have always found Froogles tutorial videos very easy to follow but that's just me. I remember struggling with some of the PMDG aircraft, the 737NG would be a good example, the Majestic Q400 and tools such as PFPX and Chase Plane, despite following the manuals and the tutorial flights. I then watched his videos and it all came together, to the extent that they are my preferred aircraft and tools now! - but that may also be down to a combination of factors; lots of practice and study, with his videos being the last piece of my learning puzzle

Should I switch to X-Plane 11 (from FSX:SE)? I own X-Plane 10 disc but I don't use it. I am thinking of switching to P3D as I have the Aerosoft A320/A321, JF MD80 (Which is awful), PMDG 737, Aerosoft Twin Otter (With TSS Sounds) and the Captin SIm 767 (Which I hate)
@ChrisTIan-nl7lx7 жыл бұрын
I've made the switch from P3D (2.5) and am not regretting it 1 bit. The increase in performance AND it's durability / smoothnes cant be compared to P3D imho. I dont know about P3D v4 but additionally i dont like the licensing scheme Lockheed is using (of course it's not "intended" for consumer but that's another story). Flight simming is a hobby as good as anything else. So i have upgraded XP11 already with B757 from FlightFactor as well as xEnviro and I'm waiting for study level sim A320 from FlightFactor. Additionally XP11 is very versatile and can be upgraded with a lots of plugins, free (& very good quality) scenery etc pp. And it doesnt install at all that deep in the OS as MS FSX or P3D does. You can save and restore it easily...
@TrainNutter7 жыл бұрын
Sounds good! But I'm only reluctant to switch due to the fact that I have spent well over £200 on FSX/P3D (I also have GSX, FlyTampa Amsterdam, ORBX Innsbruck and the QualitySim British Aerospace 146/Avro RJ)
@ChrisTIan-nl7lx7 жыл бұрын
Who hasn't spend that much on this sim... :) I have "thrown in the trash" a big collection of Aerosoft scenery as well as in my opinion very good A318-A321 from Aerosoft as well. Still haven't one single regret. Also remember there are really quality free plugins / "addons" available which don't cost a thing (like AutoGate, GroundHandling, Betterpushback, free HD mesh etc ...). You will be rewarded with a smooth and not stuttering (or even ctd-ing) sim. The flying experience from old FS 2004 is back again, just in up to date graphics and stability even with all the plugins and scenery. If you are unsure you can always download the free demo and test it yourself (i highly recommend that).

I would go for XP11, i am an ex-FSX user and flew on P3D a few hours, but it just doesn't do the job for me: realism. Well, if you have a lot of money it can look great but on XP the most is free. It is really the future

FLY X nice list! I would say that the Rotate MD-88 would fit perfectly in that list! But may i suggest some other planes? Those are mostly coming soon, so you might want to wait a little longer with deciding: Ramzzess has announced that the Flight Factor A320 is almost ready for public beta, and they are finishing up the last bugs. I would say, that in a month it will be out. Also, if you are more a systems man you could also wait for the ATS MD-80. It's not the best on external visuals, and it could take some time till it's out but i'm a beta tester and it is much better than Rotate on systems. PMDG has also stated that they are going to make an XP11 compatibility update for the DC-6, and some fixes in the plane itself. Those planes are likely to come out this year so i should keep a little money in your pocket before making the decision ;)

All I'm really lacking is the high end market iarcraft addons, hopefully it's getting better PMDG DC-6 which I used is quite a lot of fun althoughI honestly don't see my self flying without the AFE as it would really be too much a handful I guess with a virtual cockpit to set up properly all those levers for managing the thrust and all. I also quite like the IXEG 737 classic which is quite a good sim as well.

I live in australia and my city buildings in x-plane at my home airport would look more at home in an eastern block country. Mind you from 10,000 feet it looks great in xplane.

The 3rd party addons are all payware in P3D, one reason for me not to go back

I really miss Maddog in P3D V4. Hopefully some developers fill the empty spot.

Maurits Veen I'm so used to FSX/P3D environment that it would be hard to switch. I appreciate somewhat "realistic" P3D ATC. Especially if you use EditVoicepack. May be it's just me, but P3D looks more "real" to me.

The scenery graphics with X-11 are so much better than FSX. That is right out of the box. However, when you start loading the FlyTampa stuff, the game changes. Yes, it is a payware addon. But the realism in FSX goes up through the roof. I am sure the FlyTampa stuff is also available in X-11, but then you are paying for that as well. Bottom line: This is far superior to the generic tiles in FSX.
