Just some heavies the VC in 757 is fantastic :)

How advanced are the systems in these planes?

The 757 is a bit more advanced then MS default....I haven't explored the FMC yet but it seems to work...The overhead has limited functionality...

X-Plane doesn't come packaged with a flight planner...but Goodway is a payware alternative, Im having problems getting it to work in Linux( unbuntu 8.10)...... its just a dependency issue with a program called python-opengl...ill figure it out

I think a freeware FMC is available also.....

Its a lonely solar system in X-Plane...no AI.. :'(

, that really stinks!

Python-OpenGL? Is it missing some sort of module? I dont have a lot of python experiences, but its quite versatile from what i have seen from it so far.

I have the module and python installed, I think Goodway was written to work with an older version of the module or Ubuntu...Im still a Linux newbie so Im really not sure :-[;D

Well, at least you'll never have to hear the dreaded "Go around" call from ATC!

I used to have XPlane 6 (I might still) and that had AI. The only thing I don't like about Xplane is how expensive it is, the UI and the aircraft models.

I've heard of something called Xtraffic for Xplane but I'm not sure what it is.... :-/

Posted: **Tue Jan 20, 2009 1:51 pm**

I found XopenATC same place as Xtraffic....it downloads flight plans from the internet and displays it in the sim from the web...testing now

Please keep posting shots!
Does Xplane run smoother than FSX?
Also are there any helicopters in Xplane?

I'm going to have to buy this sim...

I ran FS9 with tons of add-ons and I was lucky to get 20-25 fps, around 9 to 19 in populated areas...I didnt test the FPS out yet in XP
