i see the clouds are still crap in XP..still loads of 2d twisty things like fsx...cant say am impressed with XP to be honest...and XP is already a huge amount of space on your hard drive why use it to install this vfr scenery as well...much better to run this vfr version for fsx on a bare install of fsx for MUCH less space!.
@MrCOLTSR2 The clouds are not perfect in X-Plane then again they are not perfect in FSX. either. I actually quite like the clouds in X-Plane and it remains to be seen as to what improvements will be made. Re the scenery: for the same photographic resolution ie 1 metre per pixel, the photo scenery in X-Plane looks much clearer and doesn't go blurry at whatever speed. Stick with FSX if thats what suits you
@Saymite This isn't as easy as it might seem. The photographic scenery in X-Plane is much clearer than the same resolution in FSX and it doesn't get blurry even at high speed. What the scenery needs is 3D content and airports. Hopefully when the tools for creating scenery become available, there will be plenty. In the meantime, I would recommend that you download the demo from the x-plane website and compare.
@Wingdinger1 The computer has an Intel I7 980xchip running at 4.2 GHz with an ATI 5870 Card running 5 Samsung MD230 Monitors under Eyefinity6 on a Gigabyte MB with 6 GB RAM
@360kal This is hard to say. Both FSX and X-Plane run very well on both my PC as shown and also on my laptop. The problem is, the more graphics that you have in the sim, the more you want to see them and this neeeds computing power. As you can see from the video X-Plane10 is smooth even when flying at high speed. You might want to go to the X-Plane website and try the demo.
@poeticmind74 The scenery was developed to be the highest resolution that could be run with X-Plane 9 and 10 It is created with 1 metre aerial photographs. I wish it was less but it can't be less than 230GB with X-Plane:)

@overrtherainbow1013 is xplane10 as power hungry as fsx in terms of cpu, and gpu
