Superb, magnificent, outstanding shots. Such great looking graphics. Like Aharon, I would have thought they were from MSFS. I mostly fly in FSX now - can't get use to flying in MSFS. It's too complicated for me, have trouble with GPS and/or autopilot usage, and with some updates I may have to re-tweak my settings. Way too much trouble to make sim flying enjoyable.
XP12 looks great, much better than MSFS.
Wow Dennis, thank you!

I read you have a PC capable of running MSFS2020 so why not give XP12 demo a try?
Having bought a new PC recently I downloaded the demo - v11 was almost ok on my ooooold PC, and 12 loaded like a charm on the new one. So I bought it right away. I had been flying (and will keep doing it from time to time) FS9.
The 3 flights you see above:
#1 is XP12 stock
#2 has the payware Maule
#3 already has the Google Maps imagery streamed in real time, plus X-Word (buildings from real data) and Global Forests (also from real data)
It has been a breeze - and like you I didn't want to have to deal with sim issues all the time, so XP12 was a perfect choice.
I don't know about MSFS2020/2024 but relatively to our old sims (FS9/X) XP12 has a thing that really blown me away since day 1. The world looks so much bigger on my monitor; but also the cockpit instruments! It's a matter of how sims deal with perspective, zoom levels.
FS9 and FSX always inspired a lot of articles about "cockpit harmonization" trying to bring them closer to a real feel - and I felt XP12 absolutely nailed it.
On final note: after installing XP12 I took it to chatGPT to define both sim and graphics card control panel settings based on the specifics of my hardware. Saved me countless hours of trial and error. IF you ever want to try this give me a call

Give it a go
