Awesome! how did you do this?

Thanks man! Everything in the video was done using X-Plane, all I did was record it, lol. I believe this specific tool is designed primarily for aircraft designers, however, it's pretty obvious that it has got potential to be used for education.

Thanks for the comment!

Very good demonstration of the theory. Is Xplane better on frame rates than FSX?

@nitestrike1000 Thanks!

X-Plane does runner slightly smoother on my system than FSX did, but it all really depends on your system and settings. From experience I can say that people generally have a harder time getting FSX to run smooth than they do with XP9 or even FS2004.

@TheyTookMyWoody Thanks! I recently installed FS2004 because it runs much better on my system and I'm having fun again :D I may uninstall FSX until I get a super computer!
