This guy is so funny I just love his energy. I'd love to chill with him for a day lol don't matter what he's doing or talking about he just makes me smile
Who on earth would bet that the person responsible for the best flight simulator available today also is a great entertainer? Your videos are awesome Austin!
In your delusional mind. The amount of users on the msfs platform has significantly surpassed the xplane community. That platform has brought many into the world of Aviation than laminar research ever will!
@Aviation i agree with all of this, minus the part where you stated that even P3D is better than MSFS. P3D is extremely outdated by now, and you need to lay down a lot of money into it to make it as realistic as MSFS is.
@Aviation Not everyone wants to be an airline pilot. Both of these sims have good in them for every type of flyer. Just pick the one that suites you. Simple!
A lot of pilots are aware of your comments, but the point is, they were happy with the XP10 and XP11 before MSFS2020 came out, and thanks to Laminar Research. Laminar Research must be happy for our future! Buy XP12 BETA and let's develop Laminar Research together!!! And the flight environment is a personal preference. No company can be defined as better. It has to do with individual computer specifications. In other words, it is enough to be satisfied with yourself, and MSFS must evolve as well!! If you love flying, you must buy the XP12 and MSFS 2020 together Just fly!!
As a pro trainer myself (lifecycle management of large, complex, high risk defence programmes) allow me to congratulate you Austin on this development and your passion for training. This will certainly help this XP novice to push the flying training envelope. PS can we have an Android version please?
You're allowed to enjoy the Instructor Panel but just FYI this is nothing new, this has been out for some time since XP10. As a matter of fact it looks the same as XP11 and I wouldn't be surprised if it's the same as XP10.
@@jamesyoung6878 Sure. Listen, I'm a longtime fan of XP myself, I just don't want to see too much praise here for what seems like nothing - doesn't seem like much has changed. In line with the overall sentiment with XP12 and I just wish LR would do better
I can't find the app on the Apple App Store and when I click the link in the description the screen is just blank. Anyone know where I can get the app?
That’s simply amazing ! Uh… Why don't I have the "Fronts" button which should be right after the "Wind" button to create thunderstorms? I'm using "Control Pad 1.08" on my iPad 12.5.7
We don't care about aircraft types, we care abut software updates, more control on moving around the instruments, more weather options, and more view options in monitors
Great idea- wonderful way to drag one of my non-flight simming local friends into this! But I'd need to find it for my Android tablet to do this. I could just imagine what kind of trouble someone who doesn't know what they are doing could possibly make for me, bwahahahahaha! 3:)
Austin you should see if AOPA would do an article on this because this program could be an absolutely invaluable training aid and game changing tool to increase safety and pilot proficiency in the general aviation community (not to mention for professional pilots like myself as well) to keep skills sharp especially when time between real world flights grows for whatever reason.
Hi Austin, what are the specs of your Macbook and the settings and resolution at which you run XPlane? I'm trying to improve the fps in XPlane on my M1 Max MBP.
I played around with 11 on a Mac M1 Mini and old Mac Book Pro, really old MBP. It was fun but flying in Oklahoma, where I live, was rather boring. I was getting OK at take offs and landings in beginner mode and started to look for more of a challenge. I picked up a new MBP M2 Pro and purchased 12. What a difference! Loaded Europe and am flying the Swiss Alps. We are planning for an upcoming trip and the terrain is spot on with all the other mapping I have looked at. One question, I find the configuration menu challenging to read due to the white text. Can I change it?
One thing....Id like more options for maps on the instructor station....like an L-Chart so i can put the plane near a certain radial or fix. And a sectional option....that would be aweome.
Hi, I can’t get this working and I don’t know why. The app is telling me that because I’m running XP12 I need an app called X-Plane IOS. I can’t find an app of that name…I can only find an app called “Control Pad”
I try the App and the message appears says new App is made for xplane 12 but unfortunately it seems not available to download in my country Italy... Is it that True?
This is so cool! I downloaded it mainly for the Fronts option which I've always missed playing with since X-plane 10 or 9 can't remember exactly which and haven't been able to use that option since v11. But the fronts option is currently missing from the app after installing. Anyone know why?
hey guys help pls i cant see the menus that austin has on the bottom of the screen i have my ips all correct i can just pause the other menus dont pop up help pls
Now this is what msfs needs to catch up on. This is one thing that xplane has that msfs doesn't have and will keep people using xplane until msfs can get something as good
This app is not available - it says "App Not Available - this app is currently not available in your country or region". I'm in the US. Where is it available?
I had it but it stoped working, when I went to delete the app to try to reinstall it. I couldn’t find it in the App Store to reinstall. Very sad hopefully they get it back up.
