Hi. I want to buy X plane 9 because looks like a much better game than FSX. I already got FSX because it was easily available (i live in NZ and only able to gt X plane 9 by ordering) but FSX is too laggy and not fun. Do u know if x plane 9 is just as system demanding as FSX? cheers:)

[sportpilot1971]

no worries,

you will need less system recources than for fsx.

Ermmmm is it normal for that control joystick to not be moving when you control the plane?

Animations anyone?

[sportpilot1971]

well in this plane it is. - unfortunately - it is one of the very early planes to have a 3D cockpit. the flightdynamics are great and i love the handling of it. but If you go and check out my "Reno Madness" vid you can see a more modern cockpit with animated controls...

good vid but how do get the the your monitor to stay in vertical sync, cuz mine cannot even thru display setup

Hi,

well, I have never even considred this, I am using an NVidia Card with stock settings - btw - I strongly recommend NVidia with X-Plane. My Hardware config is posted bellow. If this doesnt, give you the required info, dont hesitate to ask again...

Sorry mate, Xplane is somewhat more demanding than FSX, if your machine can't run FSX odds are I can't run Xplane for shit (pardon the expression) Xplane is somewhat more realistic and less a game than FSX is seeing as it has no missions just situations. Sorry ro be a bearer of bad news.

Cheers

Awesome vid mate, I love high speed Canyon runs. Makes me wanna get back in the cockpit and fly again! [virtually] :D Cheers

Glad to report that XPLane9 works very well from my 250G external hard drive with a simple USB cord. Great stuff, but looks like using a Joystick is a must.

how much space does xplane need?

[topgearnut1989]

yes, thats what i do

[PacTas]

awesome

[guna20]

Thank you Decimator. That's a relief. For a while there I thought here's an impulse purchase that's down the drain. The videos here are awesome.

[Decimator92]

Yeah you can. That's what I did on my old PC wich only had 15GB free left so I installed it on a 250GB Maxor externeral.

I just bought my XP9 for my Macbook, but I don't have enough hard disk space (only 36 G remaining). So can I install XP 9 into an external hard disk with 2.0 USB and play it from there instead of clearing out space in my internal disk?

I have both FSX and XP9 and the weather is way better in X Plane 9...

But some things are better in FSX, all thou I find it easier to fly in XP9 and use it more often but wish they had more planes and wide screen cockpits.
