X-30 Re-entry

X-30 reentry from XS5 mission. I tried to make it as short as I could, but it's still kinda boring

The total duration of reentry is 28 minutes, and I was flying about 50 miles at high altitude because I was slightly early on starting reentry (although I did it even closer to airport than in previous missions...)

I thought like the shuttle this was a glide decent

No texture to the aircraft

@airgeek11 Ever heard of of pay-ware in fsx best of both worlds I also agree the fsx default is crap.

how do u record with the sound in x-plane?

[airgeek11]

@cvant good point, i was just pissed off about how he said x-plane suks (most people who hate x-plane hate it becuase of its graphics or its horrible GUI) , so i just blindly argued that fsx is very unrealistic. which now that i think about it fsx's physics aren't to bad.

but the thing is that most people just hate x-plane without taking the time to figure out the possiblilitys of it.

@airgeek11 Actually the way FSX does it is not very bad in the root. The problem is not in how it simulates planes, but in where people get the data for the simulator.

X-Plane on the other hand does a very good job of predicting planes by their geometry.

To cut it short, "X-Plane works good much more often, and with less effort", and thats the main benefit. I'm using X-Plane for exactly this reason: it is very hard to obtain good data for these kind of spaceplanes.

@kplay12 your just to impatient to understand x-plane, like seriously, fsx is so fucking unrealistic

ive looked into some of the coding of fsx, and all it does is read a couple of variables that the maker of the plane sets, x-plane actaully takes the airplanes specifications and simulates it. like seriously anybody who doesnt understand how fake fsx is doesnt know to much about flight.

@airgeek11 dude u can suck on mine and fsx dick

[airgeek11]

@kplay12 bull shit

your just to weak to understand the full power of x-plane

fsx is boring

the only better thing is the online and the graphics

[kplay12]

@airgeek11 you suck and i said this comment like 3 months ago and no fsx is way better than xplane
