ChrisE91 47 Posted October 27, 2017 Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 (edited) So seeing as my P3D seems to be tech until at least November 14th, it seems only appropriate to give XP11 a fair chance and decide which sim I prefer. (Sorry XP11 fans, it's still P3D for me!) I've recently bought a few addons to try and make my XP11 experience as realistic as possible. Unfortunately the ATC massively lets XP down in my eyes. In these shots you'll see XEnviro, Flight Factor B757 pro and World Traffic. I must admit the FF757 is 100x better than the PSS B757 available on P3D. Almost everything is clickable and it's a close representation to how the aircraft actually flies - give or take. Anyway, without any further ado, here are the shots from the flight: UAL16 KEWR-EGLL KEWR22R PORTT3 PARKE J6 ALB J563 COVAN N386B YRI N562A JANJO NAT/Y BEXET SLANY UL9 DIKAS UL18 GAVGO UL9 KENET OCK1A EGLL27L You join us just after TOC, prior to our Oceanic entry point. Uneventful cruise - approaching first light just west of Ireland I have to admit, I love the way XP11 lights up the leading edges. Great effect! After 5hrs 48mins, those beastly RB211s powerback, and we begin our descent. FL140 by Kenet. Leaving Wales behind, entering England via the Severn River/Bridge Some descent shots After leaving Epsom, downwind 27L On profile, about to capture the localizer Fully established, maintaining 160kts until 4DME as per Heathrow ops All parked and ready to secure at Terminal 2B She's somebody else's problem now, goodnight aircraft! Our full routing thanks to XP moving map plugin (I only discovered it in the cruise, hence the non EWR starting point!) Thanks for looking, all comments/suggestions welcome! Have a good weekend all Edited October 27, 2017 by ChrisE91 2 Link to post Share on other sites

wain 879 Posted October 27, 2017 Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 nice one Chris, I can see the pics on fone but not PC, have you tried PILOT2ATC? works for XP and P3D, bit fiddly but once sorted seems quite good, gGreg from WT3 and Dave of P2ATC are working on a way of getting the 2 apps to work together..... I use both sims but prefer XP for moving around the cockpit and the night lighting.......... Link to post Share on other sites

Not very realistic providing your own separation and aircraft departing from 09R and 24L! Link to post Share on other sites

wain 879 Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 click on with something like Paint (ms) and save as Jpeg, usually that makes it small enough.... Link to post Share on other sites
