It’s been tough lately being an XP11 pilot trying to keep up with all of the updates, especially when they keep breaking your favorite twin turboprop that you are trying to nurse all the way to Christmas Island. Add to that questions about why a certain module or add-on hasn’t been ported to the XP, and what about FSW?
If you are a fan of Carenado/Alabeo products, you might be familiar with X-Plane.org commercial developer danklaue. He appears to be the lead conversion specialist when porting their aircraft to XP11. It is also interesting how many aircraft that he seems to have his hands on, including Just Flight’s PA28 Arrow and the Thranda Kodak too. Sort of a mercenary it seems.
I found this recent post interesting.
Yes, that list is not exhaustive, and it is difficult to point out ALL the differences between the Simulators themselves. (Besides, these keep changing).
All we’re trying to point out here is, that to many “doubters”, both developers and end-users, this list should help people see that X-plane is a force to be reckoned with, and that if you CAN establish a business on this platform, as Carenado, Alabeo, PMDG, Just Flight, and others may currently be considering doing, there may be challenges to this initiative, but it is worthwhile.
And to end-users, the point should be made that X-plane has built-in features, and supports development initiatives that aren’t easily achieved on other sim platforms, and yields a more immersive and high-quality end-user experience, even for a product of the same price point
This was in response to an earlier linked comparison chart between a couple of different versions of the Arrow.
