Good controls are certainly a plus, no doubt about it.

Just finished installing X-Plane 11 
This was the final install screen…
…how did they know I used FSX?

Great! Now we can start pointing you to all the excellent addon’s available. Grab a cup of coffee, and take a seat. This is going to get expensive

On that note…I noticed that ORBX is offering a UK airfield that is 40% off if you own the FSX version…I need to explore their site with my calculator app…will probably need a 64-bit calculator app…
I highly recommend the OrbX True Earth GB series. Then start adding airports. The good thing with OrbX though is that they have some really good sales from time to time.
The True Earth scenery has really set the new bar IMHO and is well worth the investment.

I have been looking at that. I have most of the UK for FSX…a great place to fly around…lots of scenery and not so big that flights take hours. Plus I lived in CAMBS for 3 years so I am familiar with some areas.
Then you will definitely get enjoyment out of the True Earth GB packages. The problem for me is that it is so good, I have found myself not wanting to fly in any other region.

Nothing wrong with that. Somewhere I plotted out the Mach Loop in Wales with the ORBX scenery.
The ORBX Norway and Alaska are very good for “majestic mountains” stuff.
Flying the Mach Loop in the Just Flight Hawk is a real blast, and it looks stunning with the OrbX scenery…

Awesome!
Yeah…I must say that with the default aircraft and scenery (I started with the Virginia Tidewater area) it’s not all that interesting. However the FPS is smooth as silk and the airport (KORF) is really good for a generic.
The TrackIR is squirley…swinging all over the place…need to figure that out…probably just need to tailor a profile.
…and I just got FSX and DCS tweaked!

I bought X-Camera a while back for XP10, and I think it’s still relevant in 11 (can anybody verify this?)
Sorry for the delay in the reply…but I’m sorry to report I’m not sure 
I haven’t used it, but perhaps a note to the developer maybe will get you an answer.
So here is a pretty cool/nice mod to the JRollon Jetstream 32. I really like this plane, although yes, it is starting to show a bit of age with the interior textures and 3D modeling. But it still stands up and seems to work pretty well in XP11.
This mod changes the panel textures from the default black/dark to white and it makes a ton of difference. Easy mod, just changing out one file. I really like it and feels like it improves overall readability for some reason. Here are some screens I took:

There’s always that one guy who does it in a DC3 though.

I fear that someone will come out with a rowing simulator this year and @Sine_Nomine will lock himself in a room with some supplies for six months and start in June.

Release in May 2019 for those that didn’t make it to the end of the video. A Concorde would be great for XP if done well.
