While the third-party options are not as plentiful, I can see that XP is beginning to catch up. I see the limited life in P3D as you can only take that architecture so far and XP having room to continue to grow. I was impressed that I can pick back up with XP with close to the same level of detail I had before and I knew Carenado was developing for XP.Īnd of course there is future development and platform. I would regularly fly the PMDG 737/777 and the Aerosoft A320 with some A2A, Carenado, and CaptainSim thrown in. I also wanted to know the quality of aircraft available. the community has produced quality, so I was impressed there. You have to ask yourself, do you want generic renderings or quality. Granted when I was looking I noticed the negative comments about XP was the lack of airports included in the base install, however the community has more that made up for that.

I then went back and started looking at X-Plane I first looked at what investment it would take to get started and I was shocked to see the quality of add-on available by the community. I considered purchasing P3D, however that price tag coupled with my RE-purchase of my PMDG planes was enough to make me pass. So, recently my PC was hit by lightning and I decided to just quit.

However, that was not the worst part, the tweaking and trying to get rid of this and that problem was. I recently had a crash on my PC and had to re-install all of my FSX add-ons, and I had a lot. We will take a look at the new cloud textures, sky colors, and overall performance of SMP v4.5 in x plane 11.This is just my thought process and experience and not meant to say what is better and what is not. In this video, we will take a closer look at SkyMaxxPro v4.5 with Real Weather Connector for X-Plane 11.
