I'm too used to MS FS to switch lol. X-Plane would have to deliver a very good product for me to go through the transitional pain

Habit does not a good thing make. Worse, encouraging habit some people can make a WORSE thing and sell it for good. I am not saying Anything will be worse Anything, I am simply saying that when success of a certain thing, and the money it will bring as the paramount target, is in the equation, looking around yourself (and especially at six-o-clock), and wearing steel cast pants is a magnificent idea.

There is no such a thing as overkill. Only unworthy targets.

From my experience with X-Plane 9 it's like flying MS2002 birds over Orbx terrain.


You got it!  I picked up XP9 on the cheap when Circuit City was going out of business. 

I found it to be most underwhelming.

Just watched the video; X-Plane's 2010 Official OshKosh Video created for Laminar Research. Funny old world, the featured 737-800 from Air Berlin, D-ABBF, I spent quite a bit of time last week working on the real aircraft
"A bit of a pickle" - British translation: A catastrophically bad situation with potentially fatal consequences.

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.
