Hamburg, Toulouse, Zurich and Lugano all contain the same level of detail, photo-realistic textures, accurate building placements and night lighting effects, and packaged flight charts as their FSX brethren.īut the best of the impressive bunch is almost certainly their realisation of Schiphol International in Amsterdam.
X PLANE WORLD TRAFFIC SERIES
We featured Aerosoft’s range of MegaAirports in our FSX addons round up, but truth be told, their X-Plane series is equally as good. It’s a hefty set, making up a total of over 225GB of scenery data if you buy the all-in-one pack, although you can buy each volume individually if hard disk space (and finances) are a concern. Split across four volumes, these are scenery meshes made from ultra-high resolution aerial photography and cover the whole of England and Wales. Photo-realistic scenery is often a serious sim pilot’s first port of call, but few do the UK better for X-Plane than the guys at RC Simulations and their VFR Photo Scenery packs. You’ll forgive us our biases here at PCGamesN’s UK home, but we’re a sucker for any scenery pack that lets us fly over our own back gardens or land a helicopter on top of Nelson’s Column.

X PLANE WORLD TRAFFIC PLUS
It features a superbly detailed, high definition visual model with a wealth of liveries to choose from, plus a fully detailed passenger cabin and all the variable night lighting you can ask for.īest of all though is the manual, so detailed it not only includes a list of take-off and landing speed charts for various different weight setups (these things are important, yo) but even a completely gratuitous series of diagrams showing the electrical system power circuits… okay, even I’m having a hard time justifying those, but I love the fact they’re there. Sticking with the twin-prop commercial aircraft theme, the ATR 72-500 from McPhat Studios is also a very worthwhile addition to your virtual hanger (hah!). That can be simulated at the press of a switch. It even comes with a pop-up Load & Balance Manager window that lets you adjust not only fuel but passenger and cargo distribution throughout your plane in real-time – presumably simulating that moment on every flight when one of your passengers has had enough of the annoying baby crying in the seat next top him, snaps and hurls himself out of the emergency exit to end the pain. The Bombardier Dash 8 is such a beast, a twin-engine turboprop created with the input of actual Q400 pilots to accurately simulate handling. So any third-party offering has to provide something pretty special. X-Plane’s default aircraft are already pretty good and has everything from single-prop Cessnas to experimental sub-orbital fantasy planes. So, following on from last week’s Best FSX Add-ons, let’s dive head first into what’s recommended for X-Plane users to get more out of their experience… Best XPlaneAircraft Addons Bombardier Dash 8 Q400 What tends to happen with third-party add-ons for X-Plane is a large number of ‘fan’ projects – extra aircraft and local area and airport visual improvements mostly – some paid-for, but the majority being freeware in keeping with the ‘all in this together’ X-Plane community spirit.
– much improved global scenery, far more detailed flight modelling, and much more variety in the number of aircraft straight out of the box. X-Plane’s native mode already does a lot of what the third-party market has had to provide for FSX and co. What hardware do you need to run X-Plane 10 smoothly? That isn’t easy to answer, By the way, it also depends what your preference is and thus the overall FPS (Frame Rates per Second).Ĭonsequently, the world of X-Plane add-ons is slightly different to those in Microsoft’s Happy Fun Aeroplane Game Time. Can any iMac handle X-Plane 10? Without doubt that every iMac can run X-Plane 10, but you could add to this.
X PLANE WORLD TRAFFIC MANUAL
Do you by any chance know the frame rate impact though? Setup isn't too bad, but make sure you read the manual and the WT forum on.
The only thing I miss is AI traffic like the freeware, World of AI for FSX.
