MSFS had blurry cockpit textures on its default planes, whereas the default XP12 planes have clear text on their instruments. But you can fly comfortably from inside the cockpit without using outside views, like you do in MSFS. So all in all, I cannot recommend XP12 as it is now. (8) Performance is about half the speed (fps) of MSFS2020, from what I've seen. In fact only XEnviro apparently uses a technology similar to MSFS2020 for its clouds and they look breath-taking! You will need a weather addon like ActiveSky or even better - an "environment addon" lime XEnviro, to get amazing clouds. Though I don't fly them, the smaller GA aircraft like the Cessna 172 and other single engine props made as default by LR are supposed to be very good.ħ) Default weather is also not realistic. These developers are basically incompetent and so you won't be able to enjoy a PMDG quality Jumbo Jet (made for MSFS) for example, in XP12. There are also two developers who make the only versions of the Jumbo jet 747-8 and the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, which are totally full of missing features and bugs. ![]() Clouds when flying above them near sunset, are excessively yellowcast.Ħ) You still need to buy many of the large airliners like the Boeing 777, Airbus A321, 320, A340-600. Today I tried an addon callex XEnviro which made the fog white as it should be.ĥ) The new clouds and lighting model is also nowhere near as realistic as MSFS20, nor realistic in real life terms. If the sun is out and it's early morning or evening, then you see a pale yellow cast of fog everywhere, instead of the correct colour which is white. There is no snow until a certain temperature is reached and there is no accumulated snow on the ground, even 1 or 2 months into the winter season! Snow does not even show as snow because they haven't even implemented snowflakes yet! It looks like it's raining with black lines, albeit maybe moving more slowly then raindrops.Ĥ) The lighting for the default clouds and weather is totally messed up when it's foggy or low clouds. It worked perfectly in XP11!ģ) There are seasonal textures but snow is basically a total fail, from a real life perspective. Why? Because Laminar Research (LR) has to fix a major functionality on their end before Zibo can implement it. And even at the maximum available AA (8x), the jaggies are noticeable anyways.Ģ) There is no way to fully save a flight for the free (and incredibly well-done) addon Boeing 737-800, by "Zibo". Even the latest beta has not fixed this problem one iota! And it is a real eye sore, because increasing anti-aliasing (AA) makes the graphics card work much harder, slowing down your fps. There are major issues with many basics which are still not fixed since it supposedly became "final" in December 2022.ġ) Aliasing is still very noticeable even at 4x and 8x. I have to be honest with you: XPlane 12 is not ready. I have used mainly X-Plane 11 and 12 but I did try the new MSFS 2020 for one week when it first came out, only to refund it.
