New Nvidia drivers installed, and NO stutters, at all! ( That scares me, my FSX package is looking largely redundant- though i still want to use it, BUT, my brain, taking into account the smooth visual stimulation provided with X-plane says, "what are you doing using FSX".

 

There is a god.

 

Edit: great work, it's good to have another sim option.

The number of ppl converting over to XP is pretty amazing right now. I've been using xplane since v4 and have never seen the product with the momentum it has right now. Great to hear the new NV drivers are good, too. I've started noticing the stuttering myself and am eager to try the new ones.

I've just discovered Ben Sputniks scenery blog.

My only negative with XP9 is the high altitude scenery/ 25 mile visual limit. But, looks like they are tackling that for future updates? Seems to be a gripe that they, Austin, Andy, Ben and alike have taken notice of.

XP9 is looking the goods at the moment. Just downloaded the " overlay editor" . Cool i can use high detailed LOWI package buildings ( or any scenery package bulidings ) for populating 'empty' airports.

 

Scenery creation addiction, uh oh!

 

MArvellous!

Conidering all the freakazoid plug in designers and packages being created right now, 12 months time from now is going to be interesting. Very interesting indeed for XP9.

 

The genral gist is, if you are knowledgable in programming, you can run amok and do all sorts of wonderful things for the package. Wish i could program.(: Lot's of people seem to be contrubuting lot's of wonderful add on/ plugins. Sandy Barbour rates a mention at this moment.

 

Some of the defualt aircraft are 'dated', but, i've just dicovered planes with VC's etc with very very impressive detail, all free. I'll say again, in 12 months time, really special things will be happening. Developers for FSX will probaly be saying " let's get of our backside and have a go at this sim too".

 

Bet your bottom dollar.

 

Either way, i'm glad i have it.

PC £500, Flight Yoke £80, Throttles £100, knowledge that it's all for X Plane? Priceless.

There are some things money can't buy, for everything else...
