Would Anyone Else like to see an X-Plane Discussion Board here

I find it odd that there is no area for X-Plane discussion on this forum.

I have not bought it yet, too much $$$ tied up in FSX, but would enjoy learning more about it and see what people can do in X-Plane. Is there a bias against X-Plane or is it really less relevant to flight simulation than IL-2 or other 4+ year old software releases?

I am serious trying to figure out what company takes Flight Simulation serious and is ACTIVELY coding a program that will use current computer technology to the fullest for physics and realism. I am no longer convinced this is MS and would be interested in X-Plane discussion on this forum and perhaps Storm of War when they get a beta out.

Thanks and I hope to hear why X-Plane is not included.
 
We have other variants of simulated flight; why not X-Plane?!?!

I'd be interested in it.

I can't say why there isn't one, but wouldn't mind it myself. There have been quite a few threads on it lately in the various forums and most of the general consensus is that it has come a long way and has some very good points, but is still lacking in many ways to MSFS. Definitely interested in seeing where it goes in the next few years though.
 
Wouldn't bother me none. I tried it once and hated it, but that was a couple of years ago. I'm sure it is better now.
 
I too tried it..I found it to be...Well, I did not like it at all..

But its a free world,err,forum,if they want it why not.....
 
I'm open. It beats going over to their forum and listening to them bash MSFS. Flightsimming is flightsimming. I like 'em all...well most of them. I still think X-Plane has a ways to go but new addons are coming in almost daily and the freeware aircraft are definitely improving.

I would like to see it as well.

I used to fly version 7 & just order version 9 this afternoon.
 
ooo where did the pc-7 come from? I have the latest iteration of xplane but took it off my HD after getting frustrated with the settings and the attitude from the community. With the sacking of Aces we might see MSFS get neglected or perhaps the next version delayed, this might be the next step.
 
I'd be interested in hearing other people's X-Plane experiences. Probably a dedicated board would be the way to go.

I definitely do not want to endure having to listen to the "told you so's" myself. While we have no immediate plans to do so, I have been tasked with investigating how difficult it would be to adapt our existing hanger of projects for X-Plane...

Right now though, we're continuing full steam ahead on our current FS9 and FSX projects.

FS9 and FSX aren't going to suddenly quit working, after all! :ernae:
 
I have V9 and have installed it and removed it several times...I still think FSX is more user friendly, but X-Plane certainly has it's fan base...I could never get it functioning properly...Probably too many FSX brain cells in the way...But, if we could have an intelligent, friendly discussion of X-Plane, I would sure be willing to give it another try...

I just bought my copy today and installed on my #3 computer. I say why not lets have a third flight sim forum dedicated to X-plane.
 
I might pick up a copy at wal-fart if it still has it in stock. I should download the demo, but trust what people on the forum say.

Does anyone know how it supports Multiplayer? Any Combat or racing?
 
Any sim that is going to be as popular as the FS series better have tools to create new planes, new scenery, new weather etc.

That is what made FS so cool.... if you saw something missing... you could learn the tools and add it yourself. That is what makes FS/CFS so popular.

You'd think the competitors would have figured that out by now.
 
I definately would like to see a X-Plane forum in here.

They do. There are 2 different systems to making XP9 planes on, one is freeware, and one is payware like FSDS. Also, you can use exisiting 'aero' models and use a 'face model' (visible model) for making planes with now.
 
I'm all for having an X-Plane forum for those that have/use/are interested in it. The fanatics and 'told-you-so's can gloat and snipe as much as they like in there, because I won't be visiting a whole lot, but it's a very capable sim at what it does and is worthy of more coverage and support than it gets.

Is this a free add-on? Where can I get it. :faint:

EDIT: Couldn't attach the PC-7 attachments.
