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 ;D

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! ;D ;)

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 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... ;D

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
