This video is long, so please use the time stamps and don’t be afraid to watch over multiple viewings. Grab something to drink and maybe a snack as well.
This video is my basic rundown of X-Plane 12, the non-Beta version. I will discuss what I like and dislike about the sim, but why I also choose it for GA training.
This video is again a one-shot video. There are several minor mistakes within the video, but this all allows for my most honest and straightforward discussion.
Clarification Points
1. Hover over the instrument panels and “Click” to make them large.
2. Towards the end I change the weather and have an issue I had not encountered before. It was due to the clicking on the “Change Location” option that I was not offered the ability to resume the flight on the menu below.

I use x-plane 12 for the long hauls. En msfs for the short flights. And DCS for the combat. We are truly in the golden era of flight simming. Choice is always good. Why not have them all 😎

Thanks for your video. No need to apologize for "long" because we learn some good stuff. I would rather have clarity than brevity. So continue your videos and make them as long as you think necessary to teach what you wish to teach. Thanks. I would like to see some more specifics about x-plane 12 setup (specific processes) to do the nice things that I heard about x-plane 12. Thanks I don't use MS sim but a specific comparative video would be great as I heard some good reports about the new version. For real pilot training, it seems that x-plane 12 is a far better solution. Again, Thank you!

Thank you for this video! I purchased 12 a few days ago and was overwhelmed with all the different settings. So you vid really cleared that up so I know what I'm changing. I'm not a pilot yet. My plan is to start training about this time next year. Using this sim with a mouse and keyboard totally sucks! I order a saitech yoke and bravo so I'm waiting for that to come in. Ive gotten above 90% takeoff and landing with the mouse and keyboard, but it's a real pita! I'm hoping the saitech peripherals make it a more enjoyable experience! You deff have a new subscriber sir!

I've had XPlane 12 for just over two months now, I downloaded it after I built my PC and could not get MSFS 2020 in download (that issue was using WiFi instead of Ethernet and was corrected). Anyway, I'm finding I prefer XPlane. For me, configuration of my Honeycomb Yoke and Throttle Body was super easy. My Turtle Beach rudder pedals also work great. Even my Saitek radio panel was easy to set up. I've added a few plug-ins, for example Pilot Edge and the Honeycomb module to get the lights to work on the throttle body. To me, as a PP, XP is way more realistic. I also like the way the network broadcast works for using Foreflight and the instructor pad. I run three monitors and XP has MSFS 2020 beat hands down for that configuration. My home airport is KHEG and it looks better in XP than MSFS 2020. I did fire up MSFS the other day because I wanted to update to World Update 12 and I admit the visuals are impressive. But, for me, a realistic flight model is more important. Now if I could only find a Beechcraft Musketeer add-on :)

I couldn't agree more about so much of what you have said. Currently I am in the process of assisting a pilot setup a C172 in X-Plane 12 that replicates his real life aircraft. I had him preview both sims and his preference has been X-Plane for almost all of the same reasons. It just works and flows better, most of the time, for real pilots trying to do actual practical things. I wish I could help with the Musketeer, but I searched around and no luck.

I have x plane 11 and love to use for practice due that the aircraft handles close to the real aircraft. I just wish they would keep the nav data up to date so the SID'S and STAR'S would be match real world changes. But other than that, it's a great practice format. Thanks again for the videos you put out their. You have a great teaching style. Be safe in your real world flying and blue sky's.

Thanks so much for your video. I'm a rusty pilot who became Rip Van Winkle during the simulation growth era. From you comments, it seems like X-12 is the software I need to shake off the rust both VFR and IFR. What peripheral equipment did you use? There are so many options from inexpensive to very expensive. Can you refer me to any video that discusses setup options for yoke, throttle, rudders, widescreen monitors, etc.? I assume from watching your video that the two display panels are controlled by mouse clicks.

We have a product in development and in beta or alpha version we will have bugs and things to fix and to improve. FS2020 has 2 years on the road and they still have bugs and things to improve. The developpers depend on recommendations from the community. I believe this is the best way to have a better sim.
@JoeNDBAVIATION

I agree. I think X-Plane is a great product and will mature as Laminar continues to do what it has done in the past, listen to the community. X-Plane has grown to be my go to choice for a training product because of this. That isn't to say that Austin has always listened, but he has done a great job of leading the team(s) to where we are today with a great vision.

Enjoyed the video , currently using X-plane 11, and debating the move to 12, this pushed the needle towards going to 12, however not sure if there is enough of an improvement to go to 12, One of the biggest problem is the general lack landscape for cities and such to use for navigation, and what would be a slam dunk would be an improvement there but from everything I seen so far, In videos and on the trial version(which is extremely limited) not seeing anything to counter that impression.
@JoeNDBAVIATION
@JoeNDBAVIATION Год назад
You have the correct impression. If VFR navigation is a must, there is not a considerable upgrade to warrant a move to X-12 just yet. As the 3rd party developers begin to make more products and incorporate the seasonal system of X-12, I imagine things will change.

Hello form Texas, I am new to Flight Sim.. I am also a new ppl. 160hr. I am going for my ifr and commercial right now, goals soon to CFI and CFII. I have downloaded X PLane 12 to help me with procedures. Is there a way to get the embedded 530/430 to have more real world functionality?

@huntxtrm
@huntxtrm 2 месяца назад
I guess what I am getting at, is it is not a direct simulation of the standard 430. You cannot change data fields, some of the procedures are missing, etc. As compared to what is in my training plane. I am shooting for using this as a classroom for my trainer. And possibly once a CFI using it to train students and save them some valuable seat time. Are there plugins that can advance it? Or would I have to invest in a stand alone unit? @@JoeNDBAVIATION

Thank you for the introduction Video for XPXII. I was on the fence a bit. After your Video i D/L the Demo and voilà' XP runs much better and smoother on my old potato PC then MSFS. I tried MSFS2020 on Gamepass... but the D/L of 150 GB over the MSFS Launcher Framework is a pain in the ***. (excuse my French). I had lots of problems with my ragtag band of controllers in MSFS and uneven framerates. The Scenery is really a Looker... my Hometown looks stunning... seated on the right side of Vater Rhein (Kayserspeak for the Rhine.) But coming from MSFX Steam Edition, Wings over Flanders Fields, IL-2 Sturmovik Series, DCS World and the original FS Sim 1.0 from 1982... ;-) Graphics is not everything, especially in Simulation Games. (My Opinion.) So Thank you again for your educational Video. Much obliged, and “you’re going to love flying!”.

I like X-Plane a lot, it's mature and getting better every year. I've been flying it since 2007 XP8 or 9. I haven't been able to run MSFS2020 without CTD for over a year now. Sure it beautiful but if it doesn't run, it's useless to me. Plus it far behind the Felis products, Rotate MD-11, Toliss A340-600.

I don't agree with your view on MSFS 2020 simply because I really like it, and I'm not alone, and I find it a lot more pleasant in every way. So, as I see it you don't gain anything by speaking badly about the opposition regardless of whether it's better or worse, it won't earn you any points. I have had X-plane 11 and now the X-plane 12 and I must say I wish I could see the positives about them. They bounce like if the were hanging in a rubber string and I don't believe that is representative for the real world. One thing I really dislike about X-plane is that I can't get the dashboard away from me. Regardless of the difficulty, I will persevere in hope that I'll find some positives. One thing I have a problem with and that is when you suggest purchasing X-Plane for training if you'd like to become a pilot. It has been made perfectly clear that all those simulators are purely for the purpose of entertainment.
@JoeNDBAVIATION
@JoeNDBAVIATION Год назад
Full disclosure, I like MSFS as well. I use it with my kids and for some training aspects from time to time. I even purchased the Fenix A320 for MSFS instead of the offerings for X-Plane. I can see your perspective about the rubber string issue with X-Plane. The way that turbulence is visualized in X-Plane vs MSFS are completely different. The "physics" are realistic but the visual representation is not lifelike. Recently while gathering footage for a video about X-Plane and setting the weather, I was lamenting exactly that and take your description and maybe say it is more like a paint can at a hardware store being mixed. The camera makes the movement visually too aggressive. For the dashboard being too close, have you increased your field of view? I set my field of view to the max I can take and then just zoom in as needed. Personally, I do not use the MSFS quick views, they annoy me. So the proximity of the field of view in X-Plane is just a norm to me at this point. I change it and just zoom as needed. As for the last comment of both being purely for entertainment, I will respectfully disagree with your view. X-Plane has been developed for the purpose of instruction and is currently in use as the main program software for many FAA approved simulators for flight training. Thank you for the comment and I hope that in time you will find enjoyable aspects of X-Plane.

I'd disagree, the school where I've done flight training has a certified version of Xplane for the sim. While it isn't going to help with the feel of actually flying the plane, it will help with your basic procedures, visual scan, setting radios, flows, etc.... Think of it as chair flying with the computer. Now when it comes to instrument training it will certainly help you advance with instrument procedures.

Puddles 12! The linear, mirror like, sky blue reflections in standing water on short final look fake and ridiculous.

The "imagery" is still improving, but lacking compared to MSFS 2020.

X-Plane is not the same when it comes to VFR visuals compared to MSFS. If you are instructing and training, that is where X-Plane shines.

Very poor performance in XP 12 for 3 monitor guys. Only HD, no 1440 on ultra, TAA, like mfs. XP still using weak older anti-aliasing. Vulcan will never compete with Direct X and DLSS. LR should get busy with CPU bottleneck and code for multi-core. Austin been giving lip service to multi-core for about 10 years now. MFS has issues as well, but I have learned how to bypass arcade stuff.

I was hoping that Vulcan would have incorporated larger cpu improvements, but that is still to be seen. There have been other improvements but there is room for more improvement.

Msf is the real sim. Xplane is trying to catch up and can't

MSFS has become a good sim. X-Plane is a perfect training platform, it just lacks the visuals that MSFS has.
