But that is just my opinion.It means that that your source choice does not have good data at the zl level you chose. Because they are the least important thing you'd learn from a flight simulator. But in my opinion I wouldn't get to concerned about how realistic the flight mechanics are. there is still going to be quite a learning curve in a real plane. Even when using force feedback joysticks, etc. I had a horrible habit of overcontrolling the aircraft - and it was the direct result of my many hours of flight sim experience.

The one thing that is really hard to grasp however from a simulator is the feel of flying an aircraft. You can learn weather, instruments, aircraft systems, etc. I basically learned everything in the simulator that I was later taught in the ground school of a private pilot course (which made those hours really boring haha!). What I learned is that flight simulators can be a huge benefit. So much so that I ended up taking up flying lessons and having my first solo flight on my 16th birthday (the earliest legal date I could do so at the time). These included Microsoft Flight Sim, Flight Unlimited, Fly!, Falcon 4.0, and many more. I was obsessed with flight simulators in middle school and high school. I've been following flightgear for years as well and I want to like it but it is just not in the same league. Getting the same kind of experience on competing products is possible but will cost you an arm and a leg. to generate detailed 3d scenery from open streetmaps. I have generated several hundreds of GB of photo textures (using ortho4xP) and I've also installed some scenery packages from e.g.

With this and some free add-ons from, you can get a really nice flight simulation experience for just the price of the base simulator. Awesome product and it keeps on getting better with each release. As of v11, they've ramped up development a lot and managed to attract a lot of commercial add on developers (essentially most of the big ones that also target FS X/p3d). I've been a long time x-plane user (since v8) and it's a great ecosystem to be in these days. So, it will likely result in even more and improved airports. supposedly makes it a lot easier to add missing airports by integrating external maps and satellite imagery to make it easier to position objects correctly. for over 8K airports world wide (last number I heard, probably more by now). This means you get terminal buildings, signs, taxi ways, etc. Since they introduced the scenery gateway essentially all major airports are now covered out of the box and many of the smaller ones as well. Autogen scenery actually works quite well these days but it doesn't generate airport buildings. It relies a lot on automatically generated scenery from open data sources and it used to be that the scenery was pretty bland and monotonous. The scenery gateway has made a lot of difference to x-plane in recent years. It's also what powers the x-plane scenery gateway which contains user contributed 3d scenery for thousands of airports worldwide. World Editor is an oss scenery development tool for x-plane (not oss) and it's the main scenery editing tool for x-plane.

For those who don't know what this is about.
