X-plane 9 - Mitsubishi MU-2 HD720p from ENKB to ENVA

[123bendik123]

hvor lastet du ned MU-2en??? ser du er fra norge, siden du flyr ,,innenlanbds"

[olahaldorvoll]

@123bendik123 Sender deg en PM. får ikke skrevet lenker i svar.

[olahaldorvoll]

@123bendik123 Får ikke sendt deg pm heller...

[pricelessppp]

what song?

[olahaldorvoll]

@pricelessppp Something I downloaded for free over at Digital Juice

[TheShitHatemenow]

Porn music lol

[joeu5431]

What button do you push to get the virtual cabin?

[olahaldorvoll]

@joeu5431 I used the arrow and PG UP/PG DWN keys to move around when in 3D cockpit view.

[TheAviatorMan]

Very very very nice video!!! A definite inspiration to all flight simmers regardless of whether they use xplane or fs. May i ask what your specs are? and what video editing software you use? THANKS!!

[olahaldorvoll]

@TheAviatorMan Thanks! At the time of the recording I had a Core 2 Duo and GeForce 9800. I edit in Final Cut Pro on a Mac Pro.

[TheAviatorMan]

@olahaldorvoll

wow thanks for the info! :D just wondering, are you recording your flight in real time or are you recording the replay of the flight? (if that even makes sense? lol)

[anthonycostello1234]

is this click able cockpit's?

[joeu5431]

@anthonycostello1234 Yes..

[Pilot123Productions]

nice vid! I will change from fsx to xplane when xplane10 is released :) Its much better...

[hcarvalhoalves]

Bla bla bla... Why every video has some idiot talking about how FSX is better or worse. How about going out and taking some aviation classes instead? Then maybe you can appreciate the point of using a simulator (not a game) to stay sharp.

BTW, this MU-2 model is great, very detailed.

[landmark425]

Dont see the difference between X-plane and FSX. Shitty landing though man.

[olahaldorvoll]

@landmark425 No? Try FSX and X-plane yourself and THEN say you can't see any difference. Have I claimed it was a good landing?

[landmark425]

@olahaldorvoll I have both. There is no difference besides the fact FSX is more user friendly and X-Plane has working FMCs. And for the landing, just saying.

[rockinrobben1]

@olahaldorvoll it is a good landing! just off centre line is all

[TestMyVidsOut]

@landmark425 Is someone having a little nerd rage?

[landmark425]

@TestMyVidsOut Maybe some sky rage

[Chazzy630]

I use fraps and of course the in "quick time" but I never get sound. What video capture program do you use to get better movie capture quality and in game sound? Please tell thank you!

[olahaldorvoll]

@Chazzy630 I use fraps. Make sure you have selected the feature to record system sounds in Fraps. That makes Fraps record any sounds you can hear through your speakers or headset.

[Jordache22222]

Wonderful add-on, I like it a lot.

The only problem I have w/ MU2 is that night landing are incredibly hard w/ all ILS support. I always get disoriented as the runway may not be visible unless you are very close...

[MrPedoShine]

how do you view around the cockpit like that in xplane dude? it doesnt work for me .S

[olahaldorvoll]

@MrPedoShine That is mouse look.

[motokid032]

What view is that from 7 secs on?All i know of is Shift 2,Shift 3, A and C.

[luispepeful]

where can i dowload this plane?

[HESXENON]

holy shit, did you edit the video, or is there a way, to have such graphics ingame?

And (btw: i only have fsx by now) has every plane such high definition cockpits? Because fsx has really shitty looking cockpits...

And which are the best addons, etc etc..

[olahaldorvoll]

@HESXENON The colors have been adjusted just a little bit, and I've added a smooth "glowy" look to it. Other than that, there's been nothing extra. The graphics are entirely like they're in-game. Clouds cast shadows on planes, buildings and the ground, water reflections are far better than in FSX, and I feel flying is more fluid while in FSX it feels more like I'm flying in a vacuum.

[surflingo]

@olahaldorvoll how do you adjust the colors can you do it ingame?

[olahaldorvoll]

@surflingo No.

[dks11000]

i have this plane hahaha.. but i lost my copy of x plane 9 lol

[chris3992]

dude this video is sweet where can i get the plane!! nice video

[onecheman]

You forgot the aircraft lights! xD nice vid.

[Pyrlixx]

Nice Vid, but hardly edited!

I tried the X-Plane 9 Demo. The graphic sucks!

Not as good as the video shows.

But nice video though.

[olahaldorvoll]

@Pyrlixx The ground textures are desaturated an whitened to mimic snow and is based on the default textures, otherwise it's water and clouds are all default X-Plane.

The graphics ARE really as good as this video shows. You need to adjust and fine tune the render settings accordingly to your computer specs, and I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

[TheWargasmic]

@Pyrlixx x plane graphics r awesome. blind ass

[AMT4245]

@Pyrlixx did you change the settings? lol

[olahaldorvoll]

@lonelykatana Thanks !

[DarkForce230]

Do you have TrackIR?

[olahaldorvoll]

@DarkForce230 Nope. I used to have one though.

[heavybubble41]

The MU2 is a nice plane, but it's such a hassle to fly. I can't take my hands off of the yoke for a second. Anyway, it's quality is out of this world.

[olahaldorvoll]

@heavybubble41 it's called simulation. The creators of it made it simulate the real deal.

[lobbyhobbybobbydubob]

FSX IS TO CARTOONIE FAGOT LOOKING

[LordBrakensiek]

Has to be payware to look that good.

[juanlmesl]

what airport is that?

[olahaldorvoll]

@juanlmesl as the video title states, ENKB and ENVA. Kvernberget and Værnes.

[FlightXYZ]

FSX vs x-plane? I have both..I like FSX slightly better only because it seems to be more realistic (flight dynamics) and better graphics with all settings maxed. That said I think X-Plane has a lot more potential to be better down the road (maybe next version even) as the FSX design is no longer operational.

)

[djomercohen]

is xplane 9 more realistic than FSX?

[olahaldorvoll]

@djomercohen It's a reason I fly it instead of FS9/FSX after 3-4 years experience with the Microsoft simulators... You go figure.

[djomercohen]

@djomercohen

what are the medium settings requierments?

i have a radeon 5850 hd but a AMD 64 X2 processor - dual core, will it run smooth on medium settings? i hope that it is lighter than FSX on the CPU

[supersaintsfan31]

I need you to answer this ASAP, does the MU2 have autopilot and gps? if not can u teach me how to use it if i buy it plzz?

[olahaldorvoll]

@supersaintsfan31 it does have autopilot. And I've read it's possible to implement the RealityXP 430 GPS, but I haven't tested this myself. I bought the 530 myself.

The MU-2 comes with a detailed manual which will guide you through the autopilot system. So no, I won't help you out with it. If you need help, ask on the x-pilot.com forums.

[olahaldorvoll]

[dharma1980]

@supersaintsfan31 Use your VOR, NDB and DME like a real pilot

[PocusUK]

I had zero idea X-plane was so darn pretty, going to try the demo now :)

[HDFlightSim]

how is it 720p and that fast ..... ??? i mean my 720p videos r slow can u help

buffering is so fast on ur video

[olahaldorvoll]

@HDFlightSim I don't know. Might have something to do with how you export? Even though YouTube will be optimizing it a bit, I think you need to do their dirty work. This video was exported to QuickTime H.264 with 10,000kbit bitrate.

[chris5812341234]

Will a mac osx perform this well?

[olahaldorvoll]

@chris5812341234 I have only tested it on a Mac Pro from 2008 with its default configuration. And based on that, no. I don't know how well the iMacs with i7 CPU perform though, and I have no knowledge about ATI Radeon cards. But you'd probably get at least 25-30fps in fullscreen with most of the settings pumped up a little.

[crazybika13]

ha i think you screwed up your left gear on landing it sparked when it touched down

[holatestafralenuvole]

Hi, very good vid and aircraft! Where did you find the winter texture?

[olahaldorvoll]

@holatestafralenuvole You'll find it if you google for "x-plane winter world"

[Diff4us]

After flying X-Plane religiously for the last year and a half, I flew for the first time this week. It almost felt like I'd been flying forever. Apart from the borderline air sickness ,it was quite windy, I can't say enough about this simulator. Incidentally the flight school just purchased a spanking new 3 screen simulator with X-plane as the teaching tool. Thats gotta say something.

[MetalCristoIsHere]

the payware is better, the free suck!

[xxdarkknight]

WOW, I have NEVER seen X-Plane look this good. I love the MU-2 but I fly it on FSX and FS2004...nice video, great job.

[flippy314]

is that payware aircraft

[olahaldorvoll]

Yes.

[psb116]

The scenery is very nice. Is it the standard x plane scenery or an add-on?

[olahaldorvoll]

Default scenery except of two things

- the destination airport, ENVA

- Winter textures

[roblanduser1]

Is it really that much better than FSX?

[olahaldorvoll]

Yup

[IphenonI]

@roblanduser1 no its not.

[MLMdesign]

Very Very Good JOB 3D I like MLMdesign

[Azmaboy23]

where'd you get this plane? very nice graphics, I have this sim on my mac.

[tiemji]

Payware available at x-aviation(.)com

[Rother89]

the best video I have seen on x plane

[Deadpool2k]

Very nice and fluid.

[itsmonti1]

great vid. what program do you use?

[olahaldorvoll]

For what? I use Fraps for recording and Final Cut for editing.

[itsmonti1]

Fraps and Final Cut. I am not familiar with the programs but I would love to learn how to use them and learn to make videos like you do. Great videos!

[dimaflour]

X plane as i think is more enjoyable than FSX.. Dont u think so? Many people wait from x plane or fsx the GAME but its just simulator...

[olahaldorvoll]

Thank you! Appreciate it. :)

[ups463]

How do you get a wide 3-d cockpit view like that? whenever i use x-plane i feel like the panel is pressed right on my face...  if i zoom out the seat textures get in the way and i can't see anything.

[tiemji]

Just go in Settings>Rendering option and set field of view to 65° at least.

My video XPlane tips 1 shows ho to make this

[olahaldorvoll]

There is a plugin. Look for FOV Loader or something.

[keeevan]

best plane in xplane but watch out for the torque this beast dont have contra props!

[KirkHammettable]

where did you get this plane or is it a default

[Kamikaze239]

WOA MAN!!! What the hell are your CPU-stats?

Thanks in advance.

[olahaldorvoll]

It's nothing special. Just a Core 2 Duo E8400, originally 3GHz, but overclocked to 4GHz.

[Kamikaze239]

And what kind of graphics card do you have?

[olahaldorvoll]

When I recorded that, I had an EVGA GeForce 9800GTX.

[planefreak3]

@olahaldorvoll what do u have now? and final cut...are u running a hackintosh?

[olahaldorvoll]

Right now I have

- EVGA motherboard with nforce780i

- EVGA GeForce GTX 275

- 8GB RAM

- Core 2 Quad 9550

No, for all multimedia work (it's my daily job..) I use a Mac Pro.

[planefreak3]

@olahaldorvoll im jealous...

i have

Intel 946DZIS

Radeon HD 2600 Pro

3 GB Ram (32 bit OS)

Core 2 duo 6300 (conroe)

[olahaldorvoll]

If it is socket 775, it shouldn't be any problem to upgrade to Core 2 Quad, if the motherboard supports that. :)

[planefreak3]

@olahaldorvoll my motherboard supports up to the QX6700...basically only the 65nm Core 2's...what would happen if i put a 45nm on this board?

[olahaldorvoll]

I have absolutely no idea. Worst case scenario, you end up buying a new motherboard, but keep your RAM and GPU.

[planefreak3]

@olahaldorvoll im looking for an interim GPU, so what would fit me well with my CPU (1.86Ghz C2D 1066Mhz bus) and my gpu is unreliable

[olahaldorvoll]

I'd say: go all the way instead of paying 2/3 of what the card you REALLY want/need. If you have to wait a month longer, it's well worth it than having a GPU that is only temporary and then have to save up all from zero again. I like the nVidia GTX 200 series. No need to go all the way with 295 really. Most games rely on CPU power anyway these days.

[LaughsWontHurt]

one of the best vids ive seen

[TheAviationSpotter97]

Phoneminal! IS this harder to run than fsx?

[olahaldorvoll]

Absolutely different from FSX. I feel it's loads more to take care of at all times.

[DjMarcE2004]

holy motherfucking shit dude nice vid!!! :|

[olahaldorvoll]

Haha! That comment gave me a real good chuckle!

[zhan99]

this is better than fsx

[kakihara88]

Looks very real, nice video.

[z91]

how do you think this would run on my new macbook pro 17in with NVIDIA GeForce 9600m GT and GeForce 9400M?

[olahaldorvoll]

I honestly have no idea. I guess you won't be able to get good frame rates without some sacrifice. And that sacrifice should be in the texture handling. That means, set it to a lower quality than EXTREME. Other things that will hit the performance is visibility and water reflections, and the amount of buildings in cities. Cars on the road does little or nothing.

[topgearnut1989]

i'm pretty sure i would run amazingly on it, what is the processor speed and video shared memory

[yeeerk]

holy shit REALISM

[crazybika13]

Beautiful almost thought it was real!

[pontu007]

lol i like to do crashes wiht other planes

[blueramnes]

Wonderful video!

Witch type of Pc hardware have you got? The need to let x plane run this way..?

Thank you so much!

[olahaldorvoll]

This was recorded using

EVGA nForce 780i

Core 2 Duo @ 4GHz

8GB RAM

EVGA GeForce 9800GTX.

[FilmMaster1001]

What kind of screen capture software do you use.

[olahaldorvoll]

Fraps

[wilfredotour2]

whats the name of the song??I love it..

[azmab]

I am definitely not a fan of virtual programs as there is so much crap posted. This, however, is a definite exception. Very well done.

[alcluiz]

Nice video!!! MagicBullet??? it sure gives a excellent mood to the scene...

[olahaldorvoll]

No. The effects are done entirely in After Effects. But I'd like to do it in Color one day, since that's what I usually use for grading.

[OriginalAtomicSheep]

I have to say... this looks way less cartoony than FSX

[KLMAirSwan]

There are 3 layers of clouds, wich one did you choose or have you downloaded any clouds? Please tell me.

[olahaldorvoll]

I usually go with Cumulus. Sometimes Cirrus, other times Stratus, in combination with Cumulus. I love those billowing, large clouds.

[rileinc]

This is instantly one of my favourite flight sim videos!

[olahaldorvoll]

Thank you :)

[CrdBrdProjects]

holy shit impressive visuals.

[mattskinner74]

Excellant video! 5***** I have been flying FSX for a long time now and am impressed overall especially since I have Tileproxy all streamlined. HOWEVER...this video has convinced me to install XP9 again! lol. But I will NEED the MU-2 for sure. :)

[Jumpa31]

Did you know Microsoft laid off their flight sim team? Looks like Bill's getting out of the sim world.

[olahaldorvoll]

Doesn't mean MSFS itself is dead even though they won't continue to develop it. Just look at the Nintendo or other abandoned projects. Still going strong...

[KitVander]

What Mpeg settings do you use in XP to capture HD?

[olahaldorvoll]

I use FRAPS to record. It records AVI files, which I then convert to a JPEG sequence with VirtualDub, and transfer to the Mac for further editing.

[Johnzx2]

Pretty nice video ! Each time I'm watching Xplane 9 video's I'm impressed of the realism and graphics quality. I think i would try it one day

[tammeo]

olahaldorvoll can you please tell me exactly how to achieve this realism? I'm going to switch to x-plane from fs9 but many videos I've seen have really a poor graphic whereas yours is amazing. I just want to understand why..and what I've to do..

Thanks a lot

[olahaldorvoll]

Two main reasons graphics seems extremely nice here vs. others:

- computer with some CPU power (all though this is NOT a top of the shelf computer like it was a year ago - Intel i7 would be nice to try!!)

- High settings in the sim

I think not too many hardcore simmers care about the graphics - I on the other hand care all about the visuals, and might not be that good as a pilot.

There's some general adjustments in contrast and color as well to make it seem real. And I emulate real camera.

[frogger2222]

how would u compair the preformance between fsx and xp9 are they about the same or does one run smoother , also does xp9 have mutliplayer and is it any good , cheers

[olahaldorvoll]

I really have no idea. I haven't flown FS9/FSX on this hardware setup which i bought summer '08 - and I gave up flying MSFS two years ago..

[SickAudi]

hell ya xplane 9 is fuckin amazing

[mckseal]

is this better than fsx?

i dont want to start an argument but i would love to know.

[olahaldorvoll]

Heck yeah, this is times better than FSX imho. I quit flying FS9/FSX two years ago, and haven't touched any sim until this autumn when I bought XP9.

[Cuan95]

krap!!!!!! x-planes has heaps good grafics

[MACBLACK91]

omg these graphics are great how are the system specs?

[olahaldorvoll]

EVGA nForce 780i

Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 overclocked @ 4GHz

8GB OCZ PC-6400 RAM

EVGA GeForce 9800GTX 512MB RAM

[pcvsxbox360]

whats a compression error?

[Blashyrkh2124]

Not a easy thing to explain. But it's used to make the size of a video smaller. I think the original file of this post was somewhere about 4gb. But in the youtube compression it was probbably about 700mb.

[olahaldorvoll]

You are very mistaken, Blashyrk2124 . The final file is about 200mb.

The compression error got in there when I converted from Prores to QT H.264.. Unfortunately, I've deleted the original files, and cannot re-compress it.

[Blashyrkh2124]

Ah well, I hopes he gets the message. The original size is much bigger than the compressed size.

It's pretty hard to think of the sizes because there is so much that counts.

[zcsnow]

amazing..

[eifczar]

I've fallen in love with this video. A couple of questions if I may...

Is this default X9 scenery? It's gorgeous...

and secondly, are you using Fraps to record?

Thanks,

Eifczar

[olahaldorvoll]

I'm sorry I haven't answered. Well, I have, but there's something really bugged with my browser.

Anyway, it's default scenery, except the ENVA airport, and the winter textures. I'm using Fraps for recording.

[SpartanW98]

wats are xplane 9 minimal requirements?

[Burn8tor]

how do you get into that view in which you can rotate around in the cockpit?

[rinaldit]

i flew the MITZ, nice video, fast plane and dont get her slow ..

[WakeUpDummies]

Yeah... my Dad did too. Friggin' spoliers. He used to say 'every landing was a new experience' LOL!!

[ArmandStanger]

Companies like Beoing and Cessna should hire Olahardor to make video advertisements for them

[kovalcik17]

hey guys is there a reason why x-plane 9 "slows down" in some areas? like ill be flying and the game pace will be moving extremely slow and then all of the sudden it will move extremely fast. is there a reason for this? i have number of objects set to mega tons and roads set to none. everything else is set to default. running at 4x AA and 1920-1080 res.

specs

vista ultimate 32 bit

4 gb ddr3 ram

nvidia 790i sli mobo

geforce 9800gtx+ 512 mb ddr3

thanks.

[olahaldorvoll]

You don't say anything about your CPU.. But I'd say you'd better turn objects to a lower setting or reducing the AA to 2x, or even better - a combination of 2x AA and a lower amount of objects.

I can live with 2x AA and 16x anistropic filtering - that way the textures are sharp from any angle.

[kovalcik17]

intel core 2 quad 2.50 ghx

[Veowe3]

get a new computer with more processors... like 4 (quad) or a better graphics card

[d2gizzo]

Nice video - I am thinking about switching to X-plane or al teast trying it. But if you have both X-Plane and FSX side by side on highest settings (default setup), then which would be better? And how are the planes to control? Realistic? Thanks.

[olahaldorvoll]

I haven't touched FSX for two years, I have no idea about this particular question. But looking at how most of the people "out there" still struggle to get a nice flow when they're flying, I'd go with x-plane any day.

[d2gizzo]

Yeah, FSX is a frame rate killer. Thanks for your reply! I might try it sometime.

[WakeUpDummies]

Each has pros and cons. The add-ons for FSX are simply untouchable. Mainly the Aerosoft F16 and PMDG's 747-400X. Then REX just adds icing on the cake. I have both and used to fly X-Plane the most but not any longer since I found the above add-ons. Both are great programs though. X-plane has better flight physics.

[flyboyandre]

Question is kind of pointless as you can't run FSX on the highest settings while enjoying performance while x-plane is quite a bit easier on your system. However, x-plane doesn't have the AI traffic buzzing around without having to resort to what I consider to be a pain in the butt setup of x-traffic.

[d2gizzo]

Yes, true. Maybe AI will be included in a later version. I have yet to try a demo of X-Plane because my hard drive is needing cleaned out. Thanks for answering anyway.

[flyboyandre]

The demo doesn't do the full version justice. Limited time as well as one plane and one airport. I wasn't hooked until I got the full version.

[d2gizzo]

Well, if I like the demo then I'll know to expect more then :). I suppose it's the same as with FSX - the demo is rubbish.

[rcacad]

So freekin real its too real! Cant escape how beautiful virtuall reality actuall is but truly is not.

[xhado]

Great video!

Where have I heard this song before?

Mind tellin me where you got it from, it sounds really familiar

[olahaldorvoll]

The song is from a StackTraxx album, I believe #4, at Digital Juice.

[markirving9]

Thats a nice looking plane. good vid

[franthree]

Neat vid and I liked the Balloon! ;)
